Anecdata. I cancelled my reservation last month after it came apparent that it would be a while before they start manufacturing base model [1]. Ended up getting the BMW i3 and love it. After incentives it came out $217/month to lease[2].

You can actually get an i3 for perilously close to $20k these days, at least in the Bay Area. PGE+BMW are offering $10k back to buyers, plus $7500 federal tax credit, plus $2500 CA tax credit. I was a model 3 reservation holder, and strongly considered the i3, but ultimately configured a Model 3 a couple of weeks ago (now pushed to July delivery as they're stalling to not hit 200k units before Q3).

Most folks on this board likely don't qualify for the $2500 CA tax credit.

However, PG&E also allows you to get a $500 credit if you've bought an EV.

$150k single and $300k married filing jointly?

.. if you say so.

I've never seen leasehackr before, it seems really interesting. Did you use the site just for the calculator?

Mainly use it for the forums so I could compare other deals in my area. The calculator is just an ancillary benefit.
