Your car. His trillion.

I'm thinking of buying one

This is where it counts most: a new Tesla is money straight to Tesla. Book a test drive of a European EV instead.

I'm on a lease

• Don't renew, and don't buy it out at the end.
• Start looking about three months before the lease ends, so the switch is seamless.
• Check your contract and ask your lessor about return conditions.

I already own one

Honestly: selling it second-hand doesn't take money from him. That sale is between you and the next owner. What still pays Tesla is this:

• Premium Connectivity. Tesla app › Upgrades › Premium Connectivity › cancel.
• FSD subscription. €99 a month in some EU countries. Cancel it in your Tesla account or app.
• Supercharging. Charge at home or on other networks when you can.
