Looking to buy a model Y. Test drive it yesterday. Feels a bit sporty (not luxury comfy). Debating:
(1) lease vs. buy. Thoughts?
(2) is the $10K investment in FSD even worth it? I think no.

Yeah, I test drove a model y performance and have heard the same even about non performance models. Ride isn't as comfy as "luxury" vehicles. However, it's not intended to be.

From what I've read, DEFINITELY not worth FSD if you lease. Especially since they are Rolling out a $200/month subscription model.

Lease vs. Buy, I'd go heavily towards buy as well. I've understood that tesla has language in the lease that you have to return the car to Tesla after the lease period. So, I'd rather make payments towards a purchase over thst period, and maybe have equity if you decide to sell in 3 years, as they are holding value really well right now.

Thank you EY1. That’s the conclusion I’m coming to as well.
