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)

Quote from Juganhut :
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".
Please explain this to my wife so she doesn't yell at me telling me I'm doing our taxes wrong because everyone else is getting a refund and she owes. laugh out loud

Hertz rents them. Peace
Rented a Y in France for a couple days. (It was an average priced rental. Paid 100 Euros/day.)

Shopping for a Bolt EV/EUV. I've had a Bolt for the last 5 years almost and didn't think the Y was worth the upgrade.

The income requirement for tax credit is pretty low. People who qualify for tax credit really have no business owning a 60K car. I was driving a used Honda Accord back when my income was that low. No wonder Americans are so hooked on credit. If you have a car loan, you are spending too much on your car.

...well mainly Electrify America and the road trip experience where it added about 2.5 hour extra going from Bay Area to SD; which is why I'm mainly switching back to hybrid for now...
You think that's bad...drive from Chicago to the Bay Area and see how long that takes...even driving 12hrs a day it took 5 days in our Model 3. Which we got in the same month we found out about the move and it was made in Fremont so it went all the way to Chicago for us to have it there for a bit over a week and then I drove it back to the Bay Area. laugh out loud

If you file taxes you would get a $7500 refund.
I thought the tax credit is nonrefundable which means it can lower your tax bill to zero, but it won't result in a refund. So if I don't have any income and don't owe any tax then the tax credit doesn't apply to me?

Indeed. They should be looking at the Bolt and leaf level.

Oh, hey, that's the exact same day I picked up mine... lol. For the most part, I've made peace with it. I was reading about how since last week, recent Tesla car buyers in China have been protesting because they're in the same position we are, as Tesla dropped prices on their cars in China. I've been thinking about it, and although it sucks that I missed out on saving ~$12,000, I was happy when I bought it at the price I paid, and I should be happy now.


Take care,
Tofu Vic
To very honest with you. I bought a 2020 Model Y LR MSRP was a little less then $51k. Only option I got was the Grey metallic paint. Plus no sales tax and $5000 cash back rebate on top. Even with the rebate factored in the car is still way over priced. Build quality is bad compared to German cars in the same price range. Alot of gaps and material quality is not up to par. Heat and AC went bad after a month. Car was in service for over 2 months before they could get the parts to repair my car. Even at $45k USD, which is what it costs in China it's still not worth it. This car should be in the low $40k to begin with. Also the range is false. The car can't get over 300 miles on a full charge based on how you have to use heat or AC when driving. One last most important thing is the car will loose 10% of range after 1 year no matter even if you don't use the supercharger and slow charge at home and only top up to 90% charge as advised by Tesla. FYI I am a early tesla stock investor so I do want the company to grow and prosper but it needs to fix all the issues with the car.

This is really confusing - How do we make sure we qualify for the credit? What needs to be done with the payroll and HR? Do we pay more tax in advance or less tax?

you can adjust your withholding until you reached somewhere close to 7500 for the year
It's a tax credit. So if you owed $7,500 or more in taxes this reduces what you owe the IRS up to $0 - it can not get you a refund. There's also an AGI limit to claim $300K for MF J

Quote from SamirPD :
And let's not forget that you need perfect shifting and traction to get those numbers in the other brands. The tesla will do it in even less than ideal conditions. And those power numbers are peak and also are tied to a transmission which has to be at the right ratio. Tesla power is there all the time from 0-120+. It's like nothing else. My modded Corvette does 0-60 in 3s with drag radials at the track, and the wifes base M3 Tesla feels just as fast. And no worries about transmission fluids, spark plugs, engine oil, engine coolant, transmission cooler, etc, etc...
I am a huge fan of electric. I love silent power.

With that said, it becomes a bit boring. The power profile on all of them is pretty much the same. Instant power, go. Which is great. A bit boring after awhile though.

Compared to your corvette though, that has character. It'll be different from another ice vehicle that can do a similar 1/4.

Ask your tax accountant.
