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)

It's hilarious (but unsurprising) that congress hyped up this EV tax credit, only to end up making it worse in more ways than they made it better. Yeah, Teslas are eligible again, which is good, but they made the price limits of the vehicles so low (55k for cars and 80k for SUVs and trucks) that barely any of the vehicles qualify.
So you would want them to keep the price limit much higher so that car companies can overcharge you for the same shitty product they would normally charge you less otherwise? Hilarious!

Back to the tax questions.. after the AGI requirement is met ..Only thing that matters is that line 24 should be greater than 7500. Ignore line 25d, line 34 & line 37.
CORRECT?

Definitions below:
Line 24: The total tax due is what you owe in taxes for the year

Line 25d: Income tax withheld is the total amount withheld from your income

Is the number on Line 25d larger than the number on Line 24? If so, that means you withheld too much.
Go to:
Line 34: This is your refund

Or is Line 24 larger? If so, you didn't withhold enough. Go to:
Line 37: This is the amount you owe

Hmm. 2023 Prius or Model Y.
I got the Prius Prime on a good sale in March of 2021 for like $21K or $22K out the door after federal tax rebate. As of a month or so ago, I could sell it (wholesale) for around $28K or so; not sure if that number has decreased slightly. Not bad to be able to drive a car for almost 2 years and make money if I wanted to. I doubt that would be the case with a Model Y.

It's a really boring car, and you're not going to get any style points when people see you roll up in a Prius (have to drive my Mercedes for those situations lol). But if you don't care about driving a Prius, it's great for the wallet. I haven't done the math, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 55 MPG of the Prime is (much) more economical than charging a Tesla. The prime also has about a 25-mile range if you charge it, but we don't bother.

All that said, the 2023 Prius is much better looking than the old one. I'm sure it's just as boring though lol.

Was hoping to do a refundable reservation and think later, but it appears they required a $250 non-refundable order Fee. Tried to order a Red 5-seater but the Red color pushes the price over $55,000 so disqualifies the tax credit. I'm more than a little worried that the 7-seater Model Y can't accommodate 3 car seats. Anyone have any clue? I have 2 Chicco NextFit car seats and those are pretty wide and bulky. Would hate to waste hundreds of dollars to buy entirely new car seats to fit a Model Y.

I'm already locked in the $7500 tax credit with the Rivian R1S, but they say expect delivery late 2023. The Rivian R1S so so much more roomy and would work, but that delivery date is a concern. The Model Y delivery date is better, but that interior dimension is a little concerning.
I have a model y 2022 and I believe that the 5 and 7 seater only has 2 latches (no latch in the middle seat) . For the 3rd car seat you would have to rely on the seatbelt only if your car seat supports that.

Also to gain access to the back row you may have to fold down the 2nd seat row to get back there so if there is a car seat in a way you will have an issue.

I would recommend going into a Tesla location and test drive or take a look at the 7 seat option. But if one of the car seat can't use seat belt only then I would look somewhere else. Not sure how old your kids are.

That's FL5 money right there.
I'd rather get FL5 for that price I agree. When all the EVs including Tesla are as cheap as Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris when they were brand new then MAY BE I can consider one, knowing if I have to junk it because battery goes bad and costs too much to replace I won't cry about it 🤣

No, some models just don't qualify due to MSRP. That's why Tesla dropped the Y to under $55K.

The 7 seater Y has still can go up 80k and qualify, but the 5 seaters have to be under $55k based on how the IRS classifies cars, trucks, SUVs

Full list of qualifying cars that still qualify: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deduc...3-or-after

It was right before car prices went crazy. And no, I'm not going to waste my time showing you anything. You can read about it here though: https://slickdeals.net/f/14928185-california-2021-toyota-prius-prime-xle-26000-otd?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Reserved a Demo drive for a Model Y in the morning. Will ask for a 7-seater if possible and drive home to test the car seats. The Chicco NextFit allows seat-belt usage, and quite frankly that's all I've been using. I'm a little concerned about accessing the 3rd row if the 2nd row has car seats in use though.

An option would be to have 2 car seats + 1 booster seat in the 2nd row, but that's going to be a little tight considering the Chicco NextFit is quite wide. It's already a little tight on my Model S with 2 of those Chicco NextFit's, and the S is supposed to be a little wider than the Y.
