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

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)

What a great bargain. Tesla prices are only going lower along with the stock price. From what I have heard their dealer support/repairs for customers is terrible. All companies owned by Musk tend to have poor customer service so it seems.

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.
Withholdings has nothing to do with it. Its just how much you pay in federal taxes. You end up paying around $7500 in federal taxes after making 50k in taxable income. With the standard deduction being $13,850 for 2023 single filers, assuming no other deductions/dependants, you would need to make at least around 64k to take advantage of the entire credit.

No. As long as you have at least $7500 in tax liability, meaning you are paying 7500 in federal taxes, you will get the rebate as long as you are within the AGI limits. If your deduction from your paycheck already paid for your taxes, you will get a refund.

They're nice cars

I still don't get why my paycheck is deducted to pay for all these affluent white suburbanites to buy one

If you need a federal handout for a $65k car press thumbs down here:

Funny how folks who can afford the car also want financial help from taxpayers that cannot afford the car.

I guess it's the same crowd who wants financial help paying off their college debt.

BOOM!!!
Funny how people saying nothing try to hype their own posts by saying things like "BOOM!!".

Most people who can't afford the car aren't likely to be paying taxes, especially in amounts greater than the cost of the public services they or their children consume, to begin with.

The people who can afford it are paying most of the taxes that subsidize people like you, so instead of boom, maybe you should say "THANK YOU!!!".

I love how this thing was released with a huge emphasis on affordability and then they just slowly jacked the price up an insane amount for what you're getting.

How many thousands of dollars did it cost you to rent a Tesla for a couple weeks only to find out you didn't like it?

-Tim Cool
I rented from Enterprise for business and they were going to give me a free upgrade to a Tesla. I turned them down because my time was so limited I didn't have time to learn (or enjoy) how to drive the damn thing. Probably my one and only chance to ever drive one.

Tesla prices are always all over the place, my 2018 first order model 3 was $51,000, then prices went down and tech packages were upgraded, then Covid hit and prices were ridiculous, this is getting back to where prices used to be.

No he loses any leftover eligible credit. You need to incur 7500 in taxes to receive the full credit.
yup. the tax credit is "non refundable" meaning if u don't owe taxes, u get zilch. plus ppl are forgetting it's "up to $7500". by march things could change and they might go back to the original bill saying that the majority of source material of the lithium cell batteries have to be from the US in that case the model y might only be eligible for half of the $7500

Doesn't matter which factory as these will all have 4680 cells for 330 mile range. All this made up small stuff about Tesla isn't necessary to debate upon.

I thought under the new rules the credit was a direct dealer credit, which would apply immediately to the purchase price of the car and not appear as a tax credit that you need to claim back.
That's exactly what I'm sitting here thinking, This is not the way the new credit is worded

Why are people saying they lost money if they bought their car a month ago. Didn't. Tesla give you $7500 discount plus 10000miles of free super charging ? This was in prep for the tax credits coming in 2023 and to get their sales in 2022.
As always, con man Elon likes to screw Tesla owners and investors.
