Tesla Model Y standard range available for $39,990, 7 seat config released as $3000 option

$39,990.00
+362 Deal Score
434,236 Views
There is a more affordable variant of the Tesla Model Y available. Now starts at $39,990 ($2k price cut) for a RWD 244 mile version. Those in CA will get $1500 additional off at time of purchase bringing it to $38,490 from Clean Fuel Reward (no income limits).. Some may also be eligible for the $2000 CVRP rebate but there are income limits. For those out of CA your state may also have additional incentives, I believe NJ had $5000 off (expired for now but may return) and you aren't charged tax on an ev making it an even better deal. The 7 seat config has been released as a $3000 option.

There 3rd row sitting is a joke if you own a minivan or large SUV. ya go buy this vehicle if you want to get onto crazy EV madness going around over Tesla. I will wait for more players to enter the market to get gas equivalent vehicle with auto pilot. Pass......
Waiting is the best part about ICE as fossil fuels will not only be around for a long long time. A single driver's impact retiring an ICE is completely negligible. Now imagine saying that 4.5 million times. (about the number of cars sold in the USA)

Do these come with irregular panel gaps?
That is a standard option if you order full self driving. Gotta get something for a $7k option that does nothing

Really?? Most ppl see car as a means, taking them from point A to Point B safely. This car "technology" is nothing new. There are over 90 million cars sold every year and been sold since last 100s of years. Just because it has battery and some tech (which is not really relevant for most population), it is not a "google search". Stop drinking that cool aid.
Stop drinking the petro dollars.

I believe the funds for most the factories were funded with more capital raise and not free cash flow from sales profits. Why else would they have to dilute shareholders and do a cap raise if they had so much cash from profits? Just look up Tesla Capita Raise history. While you are at that look into how the Shanghai GF structured with china financing. Tesla has some creative accounting indeed.

I love the car to some degree. My X had so many problems and my friends Y is no better with QC. But for what it costs to drive one on the west coast, its the "in" car for now. stonk makes ZERO sense to me still though. Congrats to Elon, in the year of Pandemic to go from 27B to 180B plus in net worth to become top dog is stunning.
Elon just made $40B tis week, thanks to nuts pumpers pumping the stock. It is like adding whole Toyota motors in a week to tesla market cap, on no good news.

Totally agree with this. Until Tesla is making $15k EVs they are just a luxury brand but just like apple they are making inroads on "changing perspective" don't have to like apple or tesla nor buy their products but market being the market they are helping shape the market. (not related to your post just bored waiting for an installation to finish)

Main things holding me back from committing to a Tesla. Can't repair on your own or third party mechanics, tesla won't sell you parts.
No apple carplay or android auto - biggest leap in car infotainment since navigation. The screen is nice and big, but lacking these options is a big deal.

Also the 7 seat option in this car is kinda pointless. Not enough space or access to be practical. Get the model X if you need the third row, the extra space helps

The fit and finish is also lacking, considering how much you're paying. On brand new cars purchased within the past year models Y and X, I've personally seen issues with paint, body panel alignment, trim coming off. Real amateur hour issues.

VW ID4 is the better value with higher range . Plus you get 7500 federal tax rebate. Only reason to go for model Y would be supercharging network. VW is expanding their electrify America network quickly and gives 3 years of unlimited fast charging.

I ordered the ID4 over a model Y for these reasons.

Quote from XboxCarsForza :
For clarification... Is this a deal or an advertisement that a new car is for sale?
Tesla stock pumpers obviously.

Tesla sells 100 cars and tesla market goes up another 100 billion. Its a funny business.

Elon could literally buy 100,000 cars for $3 billion, dump in a ocean (or get rid of those whatever way), pumping up the sale. Market will crazy on "huge beat", cap will go up another 500 Billion and he'll come out net $97 Billion in gain.

Each tesla car sold adds $2M in market cap.
This is beyond nutcase.,

Quote from starcaptor :
Disclaimer: I own TSLA (overall position is + 112%)

I'm ok with the pricing and panel gaps and but right-to-repair is a huge deal for me since I keep all of my cars for the very long term. Rich Rebuilds on YT has shown firsthand how vindictive Tesla can be on this front with repairs as well as mods...Disabling ALL L3 charging (not just suoercharging) because a car is a salvage title is overstepping bounds. Very Apple-esque

Until then, Tesla will have to survive eating the lunch of BMW and Audi (with whom their cachet and value propositions compare very, very favorably to) , but won't get anywhere near the bread-and-butter folk who drive Toyotas and Hondas.
I find that the majority of Tesla critics aren't even aware of what Tesla is involved in and purely draw assumptions based on the 5 minute research they do online prior to typing out their opinion.

Repairs with Tesla vehicles are going to be much fewer by a wide margin than ICE vehicles purely because BEV's have fewer moving parts. I've got a friend with a Tesla nearing 100,000 miles and hasn't ever had to do a single repair.. no oil change and other than a software update that he had to get (free), he's never had a reason to worry about any 'repairs.' As for the Toyota's and Honda's you are referring to, the objective of Tesla was to ALWAYS have a mass market vehicle. They've been planning a budget sedan for $25,000 for a long time and just announced it late last year. Once they manage to do that at the current pricing and push out more superchargers, you're going to see a huge shift of people switching to Tesla vehicles. It's not a question of if but when. No car manufacturer is more ahead of the EV game than Tesla is from a product standpoint. They might have cheaper and also effective vehicles but they won't match the capabilities of a Tesla vehicle.

silly post, really. as others have noted NJ rebate expired 12/15, though they were pretty generous with what constituted buying a car (placing the order was enough as long as it occurred before 12/15).

as to the quality etc. it is true that these cars are not mercedes or bmw or even honda or toyota. but it is really nice to get over the air software updates on a regular basis and the M3 performance at least is really fast. since i only leased mine i really don't care about the quality issues (which all seem cosmetic) and since these EVs are really quite simple mechanically i'm not super worried about repairs. neither my leaf, nor bolt, nor M3 ever requireed any maintenance, let alone repairs.

They are not a car company. They are a lifestyle company now. Can't you see it, Tesla x Peloton bike at home. Tesla Yoga wear. Tesla Fashion Division, Tesla Insurance, Tesla TaaS, your Tesla will be out on the road doing UBER by itself making you rich while you sleep. Tesla Insurance will be bigger than all the legacy insurers combined. Robo taxis, Robo shipping and logistics. Skys the limit. Go all in and buy TSLA and Bitcoin. Sell everything you have and do the process live on a monetized YouTube channel and TikTok. You will either be a genius or live in Infamy Smilie

I'd like to try EV for daily commute but $40k is still too high for me to bite.
