Tesla Model Y | Leasing vs. Car Subscription

Why is the all-inclusive car subscription for the Tesla Model Y the better choice? At first glance, leasing and car subscription may seem similar, but a closer look reveals: The subscription offers significantly more services at a lower price, saving you over CHF 12,000. While leasing requires you to cover many costs in addition to the monthly payment, everything is included in the subscription – from insurance to tire changes. Find out why Carvolution's car subscription is a smart alternative in this blog.

Tesla Model Y: Cost Comparison

Is it better to lease or subscribe to the Tesla Model Y for three years? Financially, the choice is clear: the car subscription offers more services for less money.

The monthly subscription price is lower than the leasing rate, even though the subscription includes everything from insurance to tire changes and storage.

At Carvolution, you can get your Tesla Model Y in an all-inclusive subscription starting at CHF 741 / month.
In comparison, leasing costs a minimum of CHF 791 / month just for the monthly rate.

Car Subscription vs. Leasing: Why the Subscription is Often Cheaper and Offers More

Acquiring a car is no longer just about finding a good deal. Cost transparency and the level of service you get for your money also play a crucial role. For a Tesla Model Y over a three-year term, it becomes clear that Carvolution’s car subscription offers more – and is still cheaper than traditional leasing.

Leasing: You Only Pay for the Car

Leasing for a Tesla Model Y primarily covers the vehicle cost. All other expenses come on top of the leasing rate and must be paid separately, such as:

Comprehensive insurance
Tires and tire changes
Maintenance and servicing
Registration and road tax

Together, these costs can easily add several hundred francs per month to your leasing rate.

Car Subscription: A Convenient All-Inclusive Solution

With Carvolution’s car subscription, all of this is already included in a fixed price starting at CHF 741 / month. That means you only need to worry about driving, refueling, and possibly paying the occasional fine.

How Can the Subscription Be Cheaper?

Both Tesla Model Y options – subscription or leasing – have the same value of CHF 55,000 to CHF 60,000, a 36-month term, and a down payment of CHF 8'640. However, the subscription includes larger wheels (20 inches) and a tow hitch, yet it is still cheaper.

This is possible because Carvolution leverages bulk purchasing benefits. We acquire vehicles in large quantities and negotiate the best deals for cars, tires, insurance, and other services, passing these savings directly to you.

When Does Leasing Make Sense?

Leasing can make sense in specific cases:

You’re looking for a highly specific car that isn’t part of Carvolution’s fleet.
You want to configure a vehicle exactly to your preferences.

However, this flexibility comes at a cost.

Conclusion: More for Less – and No Hidden Costs

With Carvolution’s car subscription, you get full cost control and a worry-free package. Starting from CHF 741/month, you save money, time, and stress – so you can simply enjoy driving.

Opting for the premium all-inclusive leasing option would add CHF 299/month to the leasing rate of CHF 791/month, bringing the total monthly cost to CHF 1'090. This means the subscription saves you CHF 349 per month, or over CHF 12'000 in three years.
