The lease prices are extremely attractive, and doubly so if you don't get the full $7500 tax credit on your income taxes. All you need to buy or take on the lease is an Oregon address when getting the vehicle from an Oregon dealer, I'm sure you're clever enough to figure that out. I live in Oregon, and others on this forum do as well.

I'm not sure it's as simple as just having an Oregon address. I believe you must also title and register the vehicle in Oregon.
Title and registration only require an address as well. They're not doing a home appraisal to make sure you're actually living there...you're just getting a car, not adopting a kid.

Many states, including mine, require that a resident bringing a car permanently into the state must title and tag it (in state) within 90 days. This would immediately result in double payment of the registration/title fees. And other issues are frequently associated with this re: the lease holder.
In spite of your flippant response, I can assure you it is not always easy, or even possible, to legally arrange for an out-of-state lease for a 3-state new Spark EV.
I would have preferred to buy or lease a new Spark EV but was unable to. The only legal and expedient option was to buy used.
