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.

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 - $66,000 -> $53,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
Thanks so much for this! People need to see even at retail this is a horrible deal!

I own model y the past 2 years. Grown to love it. It was suppose to be bridge car while waiting for cyber truck I pre ordered. It to it for 50k base long range.

It's fun to drive. But suspension is no where near the luxury brands. Coming from Range Rover sport it really felt like a downgrade in terms of luxury and handling. The y feels like I'm riding in Honda civic at times but obviously much faster.
They updated the suspension to be much softer in late 2022. Tesla will probably never be traditional luxury. They are like the Apple Watch. People don't buy them for luxury, but for the tech and integration.

It was expected to see these price reductions to qualify for the full rebate and to spur slumping sales. Musk damaged himself on social media which in turn turned off some buyers.

Keep in mind that rebate also extends to used EV vehicles at a lesser $ amount.

I'm also in the market not sure if it will be this year or not depending on what other offerings materialize over the next few months.

Does delivery have to be taken by March 2023, to qualify for the tax credit, due to battery sourcing requirements? TYIA

Buying a model 3 in Oregon:

• ⁠$2.5k rebate for any income
• ⁠$7.5k rebate for income <400% FPL
• ⁠$7.5k IRA tax credit
• ⁠No sales tax
• ⁠Local rebates such as $500-1000 off L2 chargers

For most folks that would be $10k off total, or $33,990 when it's all said and done. That's Chinese model 3 level prices.

If you're a family of 4, 400% FPL would be $111,000. That would be $15k off if you're under that making the model 3…. $28,900. Nuts. That's Honda Civic pricing with no dealer bullshit.

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?
Check your 1040 from last year and see how much tax you paid. Credits for this should go before some partially refundable ones like child tax credits.

Note that I'm not a tax accountant though.

Do Not Buy! I owned a tesla and what they do not tell you the significant increase in insurance costs. Do not even buy tesla insurance cause if you get into an accident you will get screwed. Not to mention horrible customer service and horrible designed cars. There are no loaner cars for you from tesla. Oh phathom braking!! Imagine going 65 miles per hour on highway and the car decides to break for no reason. Do not believe me watch videos of it. Oh in winter you are getting significantly less miles for each charge.

For the tax credit to apply you must reach income limits as defined.

$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers

The $7500 credit only applies to NEW vehicles.
For USED vehicles it's a $4000 credit but the car has to be under $25,000 regardless of the Model.
No used Tesla is under $25k on their site

Does anyone know if someone had 15k+ tax liability he/she would qualify for credit on 2 electric car purchases for example a Chevy bolt and a Tesla provided income limits and other requirements are met?

Zero doubt many people far below what I would consider rich are buying / have bought Tesla's. It's a status symbol / save Mother Gaia feel good purchase for many. If the economy tanks as bad as some are predicting repossessions of all makes will kill prices new and used.

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
I bought a 21 prius prime le for $24k out the door in the bay area January 2021. With all the incentives, it came out to $19.5k. I thought I timed the market perfectly.

But now I feel cheated because I am one of those people that took delivery of model Y at end of 2022. I did trade in my prius prime though at tesla for $25.5k. I wish there is something tesla would give back for the people that just bought their cars but that's wishful thinking. I guess the only way is to average out the loss by buying another tesla lol

I bought one in August 2022. It was $12,000 cheaper than the current list price at the time because I ordered it a year ago. Now the price is $1000 cheaper than my purchase price Frown and I didn't get any super charge miles. The only redeeming note is that my car had the new matrix headlights on a Long Range version and the car still had the sensors on the bumpers which was removed in the 2023 models. I do like the car.
After couple of years, you'll look back and be happy because you will have still gotten a deal. We got ours in 2019 with the first tax credit. We missed getting the long range battery for the same price and were bummed, but today it doesn't even matter because we have things like homelink and the 110v-220v charger that are now options. And the best part is we've only spend $700 for two rear tires--that's it since 2019 and nearly 38k miles. Even my 1994 Accord isn't that cheap for yearly maintenance.

That's what everyone has been saying including Tesla themselves.

Tesla cars are not reliable with well known horrible quality from big name consumer protection organizations. Do your research... If you're just planning on using the car for 5 years or so it's obviously fine, for the most part.
