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.

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)

So based on this post as well as my own reading on Form 8936, you actually have to OWE the IRS $7,500 in order to get the refund right? So let's say a person's federal tax is $20,000 but due to withholding, already paid $20,000, he gets jack right? And if he withheld $19,900, he gets $100? Did I get that right?

This means to be qualified for the full $7,500, he'll have to assess his likely total tax liability and reduce withholding by $7,500, did I get that right? Leave it to the government to make everything annoying as hell.

Quote from ronakshah2000 :
I bought an i4 on 12/30, and maybe would have considered a model Y at these current prices. The Y was equivalent or a touch more than my i4 at the time. In truth, I should compare the M3 RWD to my i4, and the M3 would have been, and is now even more affordable.

That said, a bit of sunk-cost mentality, I really love my i4. I would not have the same joy with the Y or 3, but that does mean I'm paying $10 - $20k for the "joy".

The price cut is a hell of a shot across the bow of all other EV makers. I had looked and was very serious about the Ioniq 5, but would pick the Y over that at these prices.
Price cut that gets the Tesla prices down to where they were before Musks price jacks is hardly shot across the bow for other EV manufacturers.

It is however shot into everyone's bowls that bought Tesla in past couple months. Especially those that were tripping over themselves whatever scraps were left in December.

My insurance doubled from a 2012 Highlander to a 2022 Model Y.
Still not really an apples to apples comparison. My insurance doubled going from a 2005 Camry to a 2014 Camry last month.

I would be interested in a quote of a comparable year/price with a Tesla. I will probably call my agent in a bit.

Wow.... Just wow. This is why you don't buy early and just hold onto your gas car as long as you can. I'll wait till electric is $25k and charges to 400 miles a charge.

while price match within 30 days is common, although not so common in car industry, what you suggest straight up sounds never existed.

So many cool options on the horizon from a lot of manufacturers. I think it's worth holding out for sure. Tesla must know this and realize while they are still king for now, there could be trouble on the near horizon for them. the wrangler 4xe is pretty cool, and 2nd gen with the larger battery and even more capability is totally worth waiting for. that's what I have my eyes on
Saw that the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee vehicles have MSRP of $80000 to qualify for $7500 credit. More than this Model Y.

Wow haven't seen these prices since late 2020 into 2021. Ouch for the ones who bought last month. But for new owners this is your best chance to get a Tesla. As for stock owners, this isn't good news as demand has wavered. Moving cars is now a priority even if it cuts into profits. This is only the second week of a new quarter and my local lot is full.

Everything about dealing with Tesla is awful. From day 1 delivery to the service appointments I've had over the 3+ years I've owned it.
Love my M3 tho.
