Deal Details
Tesla has dropped the base price of the Tesla Model Y from $65,990 down to $52,990. This price reduction means the Model Y now qualifies for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit (details here).

Thanks to Community Member MurraytheDemonSkull for finding this deal.

Additionally, the base prices of all Tesla vehicles have been reduced. The base Model 3 is now $43,990, which is $3,000 lower than before. The Model 3 Performance is now $53,990, which is $9,000 lower than before, and now qualifies for the tax credit.

Editor's Notes

Written by RazorConcepts
  • This is $13,000 lower (19% savings) than the previous base price.
  • Factoring in the tax credit, the price of the Model Y today is $20,000 less than one purchased in December 2022.
  • To qualify for the federal tax credit, one must not exceed the following adjusted gross income limits:
    • $300,000 for married couples filing jointly
    • $225,000 for heads of households
    • $150,000 for all other filers
  • The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due.
  • Refer to the forum thread for additional deal discussion.

If anyone is interested in hard numbers to figure out how much less expensive it is now compared to Tesla's best deal of 2022 - $7,500 discount with 10,000 free Supercharger miles - I bought a Tesla Model Y Long Range 7-Seater with white interior in late December 2022.

Excluding taxes and fees, I paid $63,940. It's now $59,630, which is $4,310 less, and it is eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. That means if I didn't buy it in December and bought it today, I would have saved $11,810 + sales tax, so a bit over $12,000 in savings I missed. (I got 10,000 Supercharger miles, which is worth somewhere between $500 and $1,000.) With taxes and fees, I paid $71,578.55 in total.

For those who do order, I recommend this Tesla Prep guide [glideapp.io] to check for build quality issues on delivery day.

I hope this helps,

Tesla plans to add a new radar product to its vehicles in mid-January, according to documents posted with the Federal Communications Commission.

The disclosure, which was first reported by Electrek, comes as the company faces scrutiny over the safety and capabilities of its standard advanced driver assistance system known as Autopilot and the $15,000 optional upgraded product branded as "Full Self-Driving." Tesla FSD beta software offers some automated driving features but is not a self-driving system.

The luxury EV-maker has long claimed it could reach full autonomy through a "vision only" approach that shuns other sensors like lidar and radar in favor of cameras and a deep neural network that quickly processes a vehicle's surroundings and responds in real time. Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously promised to "solve" full self-driving by the end of this year (he's also promised Tesla would get there every year for roughly nine years now). He has recently admitted the problem will take longer to solve.

And perhaps, as every other autonomous vehicle technologist says, it's not actually achievable yet through cameras alone.

The company began removing radar from its vehicles last May. In October, Tesla removed its 12 ultrasonic sensors from Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Taiwan. Ultrasonic sensors measure distance via ultrasonic waves and are used as proximity sensors to support anti-collision safety systems, particularly in parking use cases.

Now it appears radar is back. It's not yet clear which models will get the new radar. The type of radar Tesla intends to market next year is of a frequency that's allocated by the FCC for ADAS use cases, according to Ram Machness, chief business officer at Arbe Robotics, which produces ultra-high-resolution 4D imaging radar.

Tesla had originally filed with the FCC to use the new radar — which is described in filings as "76-77 GHz Automotive Radar" — in its vehicles back in June.

"From the frequency of operation (76-77GHz) as well as the mechanical design of the sensor from Tesla's FCC filing, it appears that this radar would be utilized in ADAS applications," Steven Hong, VP and general manager of radar technology at semiconductor company Ambarella, told TechCrunch.

He noted that while the performance of this "edge" radar sensor will be limited, it's a positive development that Tesla is looking to add radar to its perception stack for safety-critical, robust performance.

Earlier this year, the FCC had granted a confidential treatment to Tesla in order to keep the details of the new radar under wraps. Late last month, Tesla applied to extend that confidentiality treatment another 60 days from its date of expiration, which is December 7.

i hope this answers your question

edit: ACTUAL LINK TO DEAL https://www.tesla.com/modely/design (SD's link goes to existing inventory page)
Wayback Machine if anyone wants to do some research: https://web.archive.org/web/20220...ely/design

I'll throw out some notable 'milestones' , focusing only on the Model Y LR base model:

* Feb 2021 - $49,000 - Roughly the lowest price for the Y LR (not including the SR @ $42k)
From this point forward, Tesla started increasing the price about $1-2 every month or so, until it peaked out at $66,000. Ex:
* May 2021 - $51,000
* July 2021 - $53,000, etc...
* Feb 2022 - $59,000, etc...
* July 2022 - $66,000 <-- peak
* Dec 1 2022 - $66,000 (-$3750 credit/refund)
* Dec 15 2022 - $66,000 (-$7500 credit/refund)
* Jan 1 2023 - $66,000 back to peak (-$7500 fed tax credit only on 7-seater)
* Jan 13 2023 - $53,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Jan 23 2023 - $53,500 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Feb 4 2023 - $55,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on all models)

Is this a 'refundable' tax credit, meaning I can still get that $7,500 even if I don't owe any taxes?
I missed on the first-time homebuyer credit when I bought my house because I didn't owe.

will the price drop further after March when tax credit is gone, i feel the fair price is 45000$, i am not qualified for tax credit
A comparable gas car is 45k, with no tax credit. This is probably the lowest these cars will get considering the volume of orders that will back it up. Over 10 years of ownership, you will save over 10k in gas savings.

Quote from wighty :
Your daughter still pays taxes on $65k, which is something like $7k for the federal brackets... this is regardless of what she "owes" or gets as a refund when she files, which is where you fix your estimated payments throughout the year in order to pay your actual amount owed.

Tax withholding is a good question, I'm not sure if she could put in a bunch of allowances or something on a W4 so that less is withheld from her paycheck, thereby meaning she "gets" some of that $7500 before she files in 2024.
One can choose $0 witholding. Talk to your payroll. Or read that form you file right before starting a new job. Sorry dont remember ưhat the form's name.

How does the tax credit work?

Let us say that my son who has an income of 15K buys the car (using the money gifted to him over the years in his bank account). His tax liability will be minimal, perhaps a few hundred dollars. In this case, would he receive a tax refund of 7500 (minus his tax liability)?
It's not a tax refund (that is why they clearly state non-refundable tax credit). You need to owe the irs 7500$ in order to full apply the 7500 credit (to get the refund when you file ur tax; if you already paid them thru withholding). If you only owe 500$ (paid the irs) you only get 500 back and forfeit the 7000 credit... if you owe 500 and have not paid then you owe the irs nothing for 2023

I'd like to convince my family to get one more Tesla, but after they heard my experience with them I don't think they will. we're not against the idea of Tesla or any ev, but I had placed an order 2nd week of November and was told that I wouldn't get the car until at least December, fast forward to Thanksgiving weekend, I was told my car was ready to pick up and I have to choose a pick up date. I hadn't finished all the paperwork, etc yet and I wanted to pick a later date, in December, but the app only allowed me to pick the next 3 days (last 3 days of November). Not wanting to call customer support and go through waiting for a human to correct an app error (or so I thought it was), I went ahead and pick up 2 days before December. December comes and they announce all kinds of incentives, and guess who didn't get any. Frown

Unfortunately not. Realized losses (such as stocks) are capped at $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately) . So if you lost 20k in 2022 and let's say you're married filing jointly, you can write off $3,000 for that year and do a capital loss carry for each subsequent years up to $3,000. So it'd take you 7 years to write off your 20k loss assuming you don't have any more overall realized losses for the subsequent years. At least this is my understanding as this will be the first year I'll be in such a situation.

I'll be having a carry over for a loooong time myself.
