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)

I forgot but I did also added White interior. I can't stand black interior. So it either I have to go with another color option or add $4k for 7-seater. I just don't know if 7-Seater offers anything a 5-Seater doesn't when it comes to accommodating 3 kids because you can't fold the 2nd row if 2 Car Seats are in use in 2nd row.
In case of Model y 5 seater vs 7 seater you might loose significant trunk space when using 3 rd row.
Check these videos you might get some idea:

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.
After seeing the Rivian pickup on the road and sitting in our friend's Y, I would believe the Y 7-seater would have enough room for 3x of those if they will fit in the Rivian, but definitely more room in the Rivian--that's a big truck compared to the Y.

Haha. Superbowl pricing I guess. Tesla should have been this price or lower all along. Musk played the customers and they happily gave away $10,000.

Tesla stock is tanking in the pre-market. Investors obviously don't like the idea of deals... 🤣

Elon of course said the demand is unlimited... He said a bunch of other bullshit too though. Enjoy your full self-driving driving and robot taxi income.

Also one more thing to mention is make sure you have a 240v charger at home before buying. Alot of the tesla charging booths are mostly full when you want to charge. I don't know how you feel about waiting half an hour before being able to charge. Also when the charging booths are full the charging is alot slower even on a level 3 super charger!

Hm... looked at the numbers and it still doesn't seem to make sense for me to upgrade from my 2019 M3. The $7500 covers only a little bit more than California taxes plus the used values are much lower now. Carvana is offering me $23k lol, oh what a year can change.

For those that recently took delivery prior to Tesla removing all of the Ultra Sonic Sensors, just be glad that you have something that's useful. You have a superior variant vs the gimped 2023* models.

Tesla removing features and calling it a feature or an upgrade is a total Apple move. It's clearly a cost cutting spree.

Remember guys, there is value in owning something now and enjoying it. No one has a Crystal ball so make peace with things and enjoy your ownership.

The price drops were kind of predicable, but just be glad that you have a superior variant with sensors and real Brembo brakes- (referring to the new performance model Ys that have rear fake Brembo's with a plastic caliper that's painted Red.) Not kidding.

If the price drop that has been nothing short of a sucker punch to recent Tesla buyers wasn't enough, this won't be the last time that Tesla will add insult to injury.

There are a plethora of EV options literally just around the corner. Hang tight.

Quote from nosugarplease :
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
Yes, correct line 24 >$7500

You can get a gas powered luxury car for a 1/3 of the price. That's a Slickdeal!

Not at 197 hp, 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and still sip at 57 miles per gallon. I don't think the owners will call that boring. I plan on picking one up in awd.
Sounds like my modded 1995 Altima SE--Hotshot tri-y header, and Greddy cat back really opened it up and I got stupid good mileage at 45mph.

Here's the thing, a lot of people only own their car for 5 years
I know zero people that do this and just waste money on new cars.

People that buy an overpriced drivable battery are well just imo not that smart. The novelty of this car brand has expired just like the battery life will.
