    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.

      a free L1 charger (Tesla cost $750)

      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.
