I just leased an Ionic 6 SEL for considerably less than the cost of a Model 3. Leasing is usually a poor financial decision (unless you own a business and can write it off), but the foreign companies who aren’t eligible for the $7500 tax credit are now deducting $7500 from the cost of a 3-year lease, and it works out to literally half price - I paid $2k down, $402/mo including tax, plus a free L1 charger (Tesla cost $750), a free L2 charger with a $600 installation credit, and 2 years of free charging at Electrify America. Just saw an ad for leasing an ID.4 - $0 due at signing, $436/mo. Again, less than the model 3. And by most accounts, both cars are superior to the model 3.
Tesla does not sell an L1 charger, unless you are thinking of the mobile connector (which can do both L1 and L2). And if you’re paying $750 for it, you paid more than $500 over what Tesla charges for it. Even the wall charger is barely more than half that.
