Buy or Lease a car? Which is the way to go?

If something has peaked (as you posted for now) it means that it has stopped increasing at that time. Prices may remain at that peak, they may resume their increase or they may decrease.
For example inflation may peak this year and decrease next year but that does not mean that prices will go down, all it usually means is they will be rising more slowly. Prices did decrease across the board at least one time in US history, e.g., during the Great Depression, but usually they increase.

Yeah, there is more supply of certain vehicles but what is the cost of such. Raw materials, labor, transport, etc., are all increasing. I would think that the slope of prices of used vehicles would track the prices of new vehicles, albeit perhaps the rate of increase of used may moderate. IDK and I am not so sure anyone can predict accurately whats going to happen as predictions we have seen in past couple of years have been so far off.
I didn't know what that meant so I Googled it.
Semikhah is the traditional Jewish name for rabbinic ordination. The original semikhah was the formal "transmission of authority" from Moses through the generations. This form of semikhah ceased between 360 and 425 CE. Since then semikhah has continued in a less formal way.

I agree-
Prior to the events of the past two years, prices for both new and preowned vehicles took small increase every year - A couple of % points….If one was fortunate enough, they could obtain a new lease ( replacing their old 3 year commitment) with a lower payment and more equipped car..
Those days are over.
I do think we will see prices moderate from here—

With the rates going higher and higher the manufacturers are going to make a killing on the financing alone.
The curve ball could be a spike in the default rate. That could build up the used car inventory and help drop prices across the board.
It’s also possible that this electric car rebate program gets straightened out and again adds to the inventory of used gas guzzlers.

IMHO, the technology isn't there yet. The range is a problem and is reduced further in the hot summer and cold winter weather because the AC and heaters, respectively, are a drain on the battery. The real advantage, of EV is for a lot of short trips (think post office vehicles) where there is also a lot of stop and go as in city driving (energy that would normally be lost to heat in the brakes for gas vehicles is returned back to the batteries in EV's). I simple trip that I make from LI to Boston area is dicey, especially in hot or cold weather, with a EV (an easy 1/2 tank of gas with my gas vehicle).
As far as saving fossil fuels perhaps someone can explain to me where the electricity comes form — I don't know of any waterfalls/river dams powered hydroelectric or nuke plants around here.

Paying for gas takes away from my monger money. The technology is there. The non Tesla charging is lacking but now they can use Tesla network with a subscription. You can take a trip anywhere in this country anytime and pay a quarter of what it would cost using gasoline
Next time you visit Niagara Falls check out the 25 turbines that make 2.5 million KW.

A portion of our local electric is imported from the North from the Niagara hydro plant. Another portion of it comes from the West where there is a fair amount of wind generation. The nuclear access in Indian Point was more recently terminated.
A lot of electric is still made by burning natural gas.
