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)

How many thousands of dollars did it cost you to rent a Tesla for a couple weeks only to find out you didn't like it?

-Tim
A lot less than it would have if I bought one for $60,000 and then realized, a few weeks later, that I didn't like it.

Seriously tho, you can rent one on turo or getaround for like $60/day. Well worth it to me to avoid regretting a big purchase.

When is it expected for them to reincorporate radar back into their cars?
regular radar? never. terrible idea. if you've ever seen greentheonly's tweets about what data it returns, it's EXTREMELY noisy.

HD radar: i remain skeptical, but never seen the data from that sensor so we'll see. likely on the model s/x first.

So many questions on the tax portion of this....if you don't know how to do your taxes then your not going to know when you need to plug in your car.

Simply put, it does not matter how much is withheld in federal taxes, its how much the IRS will take (what you owe) from you that matters. Many people let a little go out over each paycheck so they don't get surprised or not spend money they may owe later. It's safe. Typically more is taken out than needed. Others (like me) hold onto that money so we can make money (invest). So in this case, since I never committed any money, I always "owe".

Either way, if I owe 7,500, then with this I owe 0. If I owe 10k, I instead owe 2.5k. Of I owe 5K, I owe 0, and miss out on the other 2.5k.

It just takes away a MAX of 7.5K from what you owe IRS. So your not getting money, you just do t have to pay it. Seems like your given money, especially when you prepay your taxes.

Given Musk's twitter saga and the recent news about twitter struggling for cash, I'm sure the stock price will further take a hit and if the sales dont meet market expectations , you can expect the price to further drop next Quarter
Lots of people are turned off with his off the rails behavior recently. Friend of ours decided to ditch Tesla at the end of the lease and said that was one of the reasons believe it or not. He's turning off quite a lot of his customers. She was going to get another EV but decided to just buy a used RAV4 and wait for what the market brings in a few yrs

Not sure that's correct. Believe you have to owe at least $7500 in taxes to get that full $7500 credit. So if you only owed $5000 in federal taxes, you'd only get $5000 back out of the $7500. At least, that's how I've always understood this to work historically.

Yes CORRECT!!!

Carvana is also attempting to shed inventory as if they are in liquidation. Some People on YouTube follow their inventory and car max as well, and both are dumping inventory to auction in a tsunami wave. The used car market pricing is already declining, those 2 companies have such massive inventories combined and acting together they could put the used market into free fall

Quote from gatec77 :
In order to get ke the 7500 tax credit, do I need to adjust my withholding to be greater than $7500 for year 2023.
Or if I owe less than 7500 as Tax as I withheld more taxes out of my paycheck, will I still get the full credit as refund when filing returns in 2024.
Example
My total taxes for year 23 are 10000

Option A : I reduce my withholding to 2000 and make sure I owe IRS more than 7500 as taxes. So when I file I get 7500 as credit as I now owe IRS 10,000 - 2000 = 8000

Option B : do not make any changes to withholding. So during 2024 tax filing I withheld 9000 and hence now I owe IRS 1000 as taxes. So will I still get 7500 or only 1000 ?
Option A ; you will pay 500$

option B. not sure about this. withheld 9k which is pre-pay the tax. now you have a credit of 7.5....they have to use up the credit first? and refund you what you pre-paid? so you get back 6.5k?
