I would go i3 rex than a 3 as Tesla has applied for government funding to help with there red ink on there balance sheet. The reason Tesla is able to keep going is growth. As soon as growth stops Tesla is gone if they have no money in the bank. There are no EV manufactures making money on EV cars they are all subsidised by there petrol engine car manufacturing.
Who cares if your lease will already be up if and when Tesla goes under? How does the long term viability of a car company affect the leasee? Isn't the point of leasing locking in the residual? Who's buying EVs when the lease terms are so favorable?
