Has anyone with a US 'confirmed' order been able to make heads or tails of the leasing info on the confirmation page? The financing calculator seems about right. But, I think there must be a bug or two (or 3...5...22...) in the leasing calculator. They're either adding in a bunch more fees or double/triple counting something.
I'm in CA and getting Midnight car with leather interior and no other add-on/Pack - total cost with destination charge ($1300?? really???) comes to $66.400.
The before confirmed page lists a $715 monthly payment with $4500 down, for a 36 month lease, 10k/year rates (the defaults). Based on my understanding of the tax rates, etc I'm assuming ~$50/month added for taxes, fees, etc. Yet on the final page they say $7.2k due on signing (+$2700 above the $4500 down) and the monthly lease is like $793 (+$80/mo). Does not compute.
I’m upgrading from a Chevy Bolt EV (Premier trim). The lease was negotiated to $232/mo with $3400 down for 36mo/10k terms, based off of $43k retail.
This Polestar 2 is definitely not even double the retail value, but they want triple the monthly? Ouch.
This seems like an insanely good deal. To make this happen, using online calculators, I would have to zero out taxes, fees, etc and assume a 72-73% residual value. Good on you for getting them to agree to that! Don't know that that can be reasonably expected to happen across the board, especially for a new car model that seems to have limited supply and ample demand.
As another data point for the TM3, it seems they're assuming a residual value in the mid-60s %. I think that's the most that could be reasonably expected.
