Info sharing here only...

This is my second ecar, first was an eGolf. Abysmal range but a wonderful car, highly subsidized at the time. ($250 a month) turned it in, should have kept it.

Just leased a 2020 i3 with a MSRP of $50k for zero down after rebates and $115 a month inc. tax. Range is not an issue for us, and at 150 miles it covers us unless we all need to go further...we have an X1 for that

The Model 3 is a different car and will lease for way more than the range is worth (for me anyway). But If you need the range it’s a different story.

So far loving the i3...likely the lease payment has a lot to do with it.

I also have a deposit on a ID4 due much later this year. It will not likely lease very well though. You may want to look at the specs on those.
