1) I am a Tesla anti-fanboy and loathe the company's founder; however, after renting a Model 3 and test driving the Y yesterday, I think I can say, objectively, they are really nice cars and I want a Y.
2) That said, in another life I graduated to high management positions in stealerships and have a firm grasp on leasing mechanics. Those of us in the know know there are just sometimes a lease is crazy good, and that is usually a combo of a high residual, low mf, and some kind of dealer/rebate cash. Here, all of the ingredients are there, but Tesla (like most other mfs at this moment) are CHOOSING to pocket taxpayer dollars and still sell you the car at MSRP + a solid interest rate.
3) Further, the current market is tolerating more than just outrageous prices; there are way more egregious things happening. Specifically, at the hands of greedy mfs, including Tesla, the auto lease is nothing more than a rental. At all other times in history, each of your lease payments bought down the principal such that the lessee had a vested interest in the value of the vehicle vs the residual value. Now, because used car prices are higher, mfs have simple.said, "nope"! You can't buy your car anymore af5er the lease.
RANT: It seems we all just accept everything we're force fed because those taking advantage wave their magic "pandemic" and "inflation" wands know we will (or maybe even HAVE to (separate antitrust rant)) accept anything, no matter how obsurd we would have thought those things to be in the past. (Tell me why I don't get housekeeping at hotels now!?)
TL;DR: When mfs start passing through the taxpayer credit on leases my dollars will be back in the market.

No. They figured you get ripped off the most with the choices offered currently.
Lol. These anti tesla comments are absurd. You need to make over $150k to drive a 40k car??
Once Toyota comes out with a reliable and reasonably priced EV, will likely go with that.

Hyundai gives the full 7500 tax credit to customers.

We took delivery this January of our Model Y which we ordered last March. Tesla automatically adjusted the price to the lower price when we weren't even aware of it. They called and let us know that the our new purchase price was going to be lower. If you already took delivery, then you are SOL.
As the least-profitable vehicle they make with 2170 cells they get the least cell allocation-- They still appear in inventory from time to time, they're just not open for build orders on the website.
This will likely change as 4680 production continues scaling up (they only recently opened the 4680-based SR Model Y to web orders, indicating significantly improved volume on those- once they start displacing other 2170s in other Ys you'll see some spare 2170 allocation that could potentially bring back the 3LR as web orderable... it's largely depend on how quickly cell production continues to scale up as compared to vehicle production.
