Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

A fellow TMC member I've been talking to snagged one this morning and brought it to my attention.

Reached out to my OA and we ordered one for my pops this morning.

It's a new unregistered 2015 demo model and has 4100 miles and every option except ludicrous.

That's awesome. However I think I'd spend the next 24 months thinking about how sad I'm going to be when I have to give it up knowing for $700/month I'll never be able to get that kind of car again. That kind of performance is addictive. and having to give it up in the future is going to be rough as having to pay over double that two years from now would make my wallet hurt.

Does anyone know how Tesla came up with such number? I see the money factor, what residual value is being used here? Does a 2015 just have a high inflated residual value based on its original MSRP before discounts?

When you check on their lease page it shows a p90d ($109k) for $1516+tax, 24 months.

This is an inventory car. The $31k discount is a straight cap reduction, which in return lowers the monthly payment.

The online calculator assumes full MSRP

The UI looked very "official", that makes sense. I wish they had that one available.

I am not that good at math here, but even if I account for the cap reduction and price a car at your post cap reduction price, I am getting much higher payments. What am I missing?
You can't price a car with MSRP of the post cap reduction to get the same lease payment. Lease payment is largely based on residual value of the vehicle from MSRP. Your 100k MSRP with 70% (70k) residual is NOT the same as 130k MSRP (-30k cap reduction) with 70% residual (91k).

That's a great opportunity to own such a machine for a great price during this crazy growth of technology and uncertain depreciation period before Model 3 release. I wish Tesla would consider leasing out the CPO's they are offering. Some of the S60s I've seen selling in the $45K range should have a pretty flat depreciation curve (maybe a 3 year residual of $35K). That'd put a monthly lease at around $350 all in. After "gas savings" that becomes "bus pass" kinda transportation costs. I imagine the 400K of us with Model 3 deposits would be all over this concept. Hint hint nudge nudge Tesla insiders!!
