Tesla initially restricted lease buyouts, intending to use returned vehicles for a nonexistent ride-hailing network. Starting in 2019 with Model 3 and later Model Y, Tesla reversed this policy in November, instead selling refurbished ex-lease cars. Some lessees felt misled, anticipating their vehicles would be deployed as robotaxis. Due to depreciation, many lessees may have benefited financially from not buying out their leases. Tesla claims autonomy-enabled rides could launch soon in Austin.
