Tesla lease

In 2008 Tesla released its first car, the completely electric Roadster. DriveElectric funded the first UK Roadster and that is where our road into electric vehicles started, since then we have been at the forefront of Tesla lease deals.

Tesla has gone on to thoroughly disrupt the auto industry, with the Tesla Model 3 (which can be leased at DriveElectric) outselling traditional brands. The high-performance electric vehicles Tesla has available to lease, combined with its worldwide network of superchargers, have put them miles ahead of their competitors with their on-the-go charging unrivalled.

If you are looking for a Tesla business lease or a personal lease, then look no further. We have a large range of Tesla leasing offers, whether that is for the Model Y, or Model 3. We are sure you will find a Tesla model that will satisfy all your electric vehicle needs.

Tesla Model 3 lease

For many people, Tesla leasing starts with the Model 3. The most affordable model in Tesla's current UK range, it's a popular choice for first-time Tesla drivers and seasoned EV enthusiasts alike. The lease price depends on the spec and contract terms you choose, but even in its base form this is a hi-tech car with an impressive list of standard features.

The 2024 Highland update was the most significant overhaul the Model 3 has received since launch, bringing a refined exterior, a completely redesigned interior with better materials, improved acoustic insulation and a new 15.4-inch touchscreen. It's a noticeably more premium feel than the car it replaced.

Tesla Model Y lease

Larger and more practical than the Model 3, Tesla's Model Y currently comes in four variants for UK buyers:

  • There's the entry-level Standard RWD,
  • the Premium Long Range RWD,
  • the Premium Long Range AWD,
  • and the Performance AWD.

Whichever of these Tesla lease options you go for, you can be confident you're getting a car that's been designed with safety and versatility front and centre.

The Standard model is rear-wheel drive, covers around 235 miles on a single charge and goes from 0–60 in 6.9 seconds. Step up to the Premium Long Range RWD and range extends to an estimated 378 miles with a 0–60 time of 5.4 seconds, making it the pick of the range for most drivers. The Premium Long Range AWD adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and up to 372 miles of range, reaching 60mph in 4.6 seconds with the option of up to seven seats. The Performance model brings the 0–60 time down to just 3.3 seconds while still offering around 285 miles of real-world range.

The 2025 Juniper update brought a sharper exterior, a significantly quieter cabin, improved ride comfort and a new 16-inch centre touchscreen across the range. The Model Y aims to be the safest car in its class, with a rigid structure, low centre of gravity and large crumple zones. There's comfortable seating for five adults (or seven in the Long Range AWD) versatile storage, and plenty of onboard technology including Autopilot as standard and Tesla's ever-expanding Supercharger network on hand for long journeys.

Tesla FAQs

Model S availability is less clear cut then the Model X situation. You may find the S available on some leasing websites, but stock is extremely limited. It's a left-hand drive only situation in the UK as well, which puts most people off. Currently the Model 3 or Y would be the best options if your heart is really set on having a Tesla electric car.

No, the Model X has been unavailable in the UK since 2021, with Tesla confirming no right-hand drive versions are coming back for the foreseeable future. There may be some available as used car lease options.

Yes, all Tesla models are available to lease through DriveElectric for both business lease and personal lease customers. You can browse all of our offers online today to find the right model for you.

The lease monthly cost of leasing a Tesla in the UK can vary from around £500 to £1000+, depending on which model you choose, your annual mileage and your upfront initial payment. Pick your model and play around with our online pricing tool to get a realistic figure tailored to your needs.

No, like all of our lease offers, vehicle insurance is not included in the Tesla lease price. It is the driver's responsibility to get insurance on the vehicle.

Installing a Tesla wall charger at home gives you the fastest charging speeds and most convenience. If you’re looking for a Tesla car charger installation cost, this depends on which unit you go for and the supplier you get it from. Typically though, a 7kW smart charger costs between £800 and £1,200.
