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.

Everyone needs to stop stressing. You bought the car at a certain time. No one can predict the future. Some win some lose. Enjoy the car and enjoy life. Time is short. Make the most of it

Quote from PocketsThick :
It's because of the economic pain coming in 2023. Car sales are going to be down this year, the layoffs are already starting to happen. Tesla is trying to push as many sales as they can before the pain starts to be felt, and they aren't able to sell units as easily.
You say this, but the job market says otherwise.

Tesla just made its existing customers super pissed. You can't just drop the price like this, until the car is not worth the earlier price at the first place, or you are giving sub standard car to new customers. Seems like now Tesla is desperate to sell its cars, because people started realizing Tesla's lies.

Why are people saying they lost money if they bought their car a month ago. Didn't. Tesla give you $7500 discount plus 10000miles of free super charging ? This was in prep for the tax credits coming in 2023 and to get their sales in 2022.
It's not just the $7500 , it's the price reduction on top of that too.

I thought dealers give the credit right away? Does Tesla make you wait till tax season?
It's the plan for next year (at least for now, you know IRS).

For now it is your job to claim it in your tax return, no matter which brand you're shopping with.

No, but in March, the rule about battery sourcing will kick in, and the tax rebate will likely half to $3,750. If the demand drops due to that, Tesla will have to drop price further to increase demand.

The $7500 has income caps:

Adjusted Gross Income Limitations
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
For higher than 300k will they lose the full rebate of 7500 or prorated?

Elon doesn't owe anyone anything. YOU chose to buy the car, enjoy it.

That being said, my dreams of selling prior to warranty expiration is fleeting. I'll probably have to hold longer than expected.

It's a shame because I miss luxury interiors of previous makes.

Here's to hoping I don't have too many out of warranty issues, service is abysmal with tesla.

Quote from TofuVic :
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, 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.

I hope this helps,
Tofu Vic
But didn't you get the $7500 credit directly from Tesla?

No, but the credit requirement will become much harder to meet.
For now it is only required the that car to be assembled in US.
From March, to get the full credit, the battery needs to be assembled in US, and the battery materials need to be partially sourced from North America, too. Otherwise, you get only half the credit, $3750.
It is said that no one can meet that battery requirement. (GM said it will take them at least 1 year to meet the requirement. No official words from Tesla yet.)
