conversation: User (jamalfromthestore): "I know that leasing on this sub is generally a big No-No, but I've been looking for a car to buy and I've had my eyes set on a tesla for quite some time now. I love the car, company and Elon, but I don't want to dive into a 35k-40k loan. My brother works at tesla and they get financing options (i.e. Model S for $600/month). The model 3 will soon be an option for them (and me since he would do the loan for me) and he's heard it will be around $300/month for 36 months. Should I get the lease when available or would it still not be worth it?"
  Self: "Right now Tesla is only offering cash or loan purchases on the Model 3.  Am I reading this correctly, Tesla has a Model 3 lease option coming soon?\n\nMy source is the Model 3 FAQ and screen shots from the employee configurator that only show cash or loan options. Side note, the loan rate appeared high at 2.7x%  (I don't recall the final number).  Even while the loan rate on a Model S is 0.99%."
