Question Stacking discounts on EQE SUV lease?

Hi all,
Really quick question, does the following make sense for how the discounts should stack as an expectation for leasing an EQE SUV?

Ordered a custom build and taking delivery in June. Lease quote from March doesn't include mention of fleet/AMA/AAA discounts, b/c those change month to month, and I want to confirm that those stack on top of the EV lease bonus amount or if they're going to try to say it's one or the other...

$95,340 MSRP
−$7,000 quoted dealer discount
−$6,500 AMA fleet
−$7,500 EV lease bonus
-------------------------------
$74,340 net cap cost before fees

Interesting the current fleet discounts are 6,500 lease OR 8,500 finance/cash purchase...

You are getting 7% off MSRP, i would target between 10-12% off MSRP + Fleet + EV credit.
I also see that they have about 6K dealer cash. i am not sure that is stackable with fleet, it may be one or the other.

Also may be worth looking into if you are a Costco, Amex or AAA member. Not sure if stackable.

I would look at the build date to get an idea on how long it has been sitting. I believe after 90 days they should discount more.

my car my structure was as follows on discounts.

1. 12% off MSRP
2. New York State EV Credit ($500)
3 Federal EV Credit ($7500)
4. Amex Discount. ($5500)

i would check if fleet is stackable (against item #4). If not, check dealer cash, amex, costco or aaa, whoever provides the best discount. I see AAA is offering $9500 bonus cash, so it may be better to avoid fleet and use that if not stackable,

Look at the comparable deals/discounts @ leasehackr.com. That will give you a good idea. On a side note, I wouldn't buy the EV, unless lease absolutely doesn't work for you. You can lease a 100k car for under $800 or less
