Sorry, late to the game here. Are these still available? The Shopify site shows ‘back ordered’. I’m assuming that’s just because you’re producing them to order? Or is there a huge demand and backup on them?
The residual value is set by actuaries who are essentually gambling on what the car will be worth at the end of the lease after all your wear and tear. Wiht a 10k mile lease, your wear and tear is a lot lower than 12k or 15k, so your residual is higher.
The amount you put down on the lease...
If you're already a Chase customer and have online banking setup, it won't automagically show up.
You need to log into your Chase account, and under the little 'Profile and Settings' icon at the top right, click on 'Account settings' and 'Manage Linked Accounts'.

I'm expanding on my earlier post about the hitch, as I've discovered other issues, and hoping folks here can share their setups.
Issue 1)
I do a fair amount of towing, but travel through areas where they'll steal anything not bolted down. So I either have to remove the hitch when not in use...
I just took delivery on my R1S.
I tow pretty frequently, but live in an area where they'll take anything that isn't bolted down to your vehicle (and I hate the rattle when not towing). So I'm regularly taking the hitch off and putting it back on.
It's pretty tight getting the cotter pin in...
Taking delivery on an R1S today.
So far, my guide experience has been akin to having a conversation with an moody/annoyed 15 year old. Completely useless, with short, curt answers to things...and/or not knowing the answer and ignoring the question.
I've found that just calling the toll...
And that's why you just hand it back to them at the end of the lease and start fresh with a new one. Battery longevity and tech will be significantly more advanced by then anyway, and you'll want those new upgrades and features.

For clarity for everyone, make sure you're doing an apples to apples comparison. Manny's 79% residual looks to be on a 24 month lease and 12,000 mi. The example I gave is a 36 month lease / 15k mi.
So yes, the 12 month with less mileage will have a higher residual calculation.
It's been like pulling teeth. Somehow, it still does seem that the residual is higher for a QM, as apples to apples configurations between QM and DM lease at nearly the same price. But I have not been able to get anyone with any actual knowledge to confirm that.
For me, I personally prefer...
I'm right in the middle of the purchase process...waiting for a delivery appointment later this month, so happy to see the drop in lease prices.
BUT, despite already submitting the credit app and having the lease approved, I have not been able to get anyone to disclose the residial, MF or any...
