For those of you who dream of driving a Tesla Roadster<\/a> every day, but perhaps have been a little too scared about the potential hassles of a long-term relationship to pull the trigger, we have some good news for you. Tesla Motors<\/a> has said they’re willing to let you and your Roadster at least live together for a while to see how things work out first. The company just announced a new lease program for commitment-phobes, good on new 2010 Roadster and Roadster Sport models.<\/p>\n

According to the full press release you’ll see after the jump<\/a>, the new Tesla Motors Leasing program allows customers to lease a Roadster or Roadster Sport<\/a> for three years on a 30,000 mile contract with monthly payments as low as $1,658 with a down payment. Okay, that might not seem very low, but it is a six-figure exotic sportscar… and think of how much you’ll save on gas every month. If the relationship works out you can make it permanent or go your separate ways if it doesn’t – At the end of the lease, customers can purchase their Roadster or walk away after paying a disposition fee.<\/p>\n

The lease terms are spelled out in detail in the presser and on the company’s website, but the sample lease in the release is for a Roadster with an MSRP of $111,005 and requires $12,453 up front, with 36 payments of $1,658 plus tax. Lessees get the same Tesla Ranger service as owners, where a mobile service tech will come to you for a buck for each mile they have to travel to and from the closest service center. If you’re interested, you can get in touch with your closest Tesla dealer, or call 650-413-6300 for more information.<\/p>\n
