    I've never leased a car so I can only share my purchase experience:
    • $41,000 - had to buy Autopilot and the blue color
    • $18,300 - trade-in value of 2017 Prius Prime (i.e., PHEV, 25 mi EV range and TSSP, Toyota driver assistance)
    • $22,700 - out of pocket not counting the pest fees and taxes
    Bought March 26 2019, our Std Rng Plus Model 3 has 48,092 miles. We drove back from Nashville TN, heavy footed and A/C on Saturday, June 26, 2021:
    • 229 mi indicated range - (229 - 240) / 240 ~= -4.6% range degradation.
    • 53.3 kWh battery full charge - L2 charger starting at 1-2 mi indicated range to full charge. Some of this vehicle overhead during charging.

    Bob, any chance you've recorded parasitic losses - if/when not driven for a few days?

    Measuring is turning out to be a problem. I've found with cool night charging, warming the car up to 80 F appears to boost the estimated range by nearly ~6-7 miles from 157 to 163. I suspect the battery management system that reports the estimated range may have some thermal variations.
