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)

So if the taxes are over $7500 and you withhold over that amount do you get your refund back on what was over withheld?
Line 11 on your 1040.
Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:

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

I don't think so. Try adding it. You probably won't see the "you qualified for the $7,500 tax credit" message.

Car was way overpriced in the first place .. this like the house prices should start tumbling down .. existing old cars should drop as well and imagine the payments people are paying for those

To tesla suckers who bought on 2-3 weeks ago. They could have waited and save 5K ++.... I would protest to tesla and ask for a refund. Wait for TSLA to drop even more.

Buyers, keep your hard earn cash. the longer people hold off on buying new car, the lower the manufactures will lower its price. The higher FED raise the interest rate is the lower price of goods. I am expecting another drop in prices. China already have 2 price cuts recently and people are protesting lol.

I sold my 2020 Model 3 for $200 more than I paid for it out of pocket (taxes and registration included) back in July 2022. I did a search for the VIN and it's still unsold for $11k less than what they paid me.

Crazy times! I loved the car and am tempted by this deal (the Model 3 sale more than covers the cost of this new Model Y price), but it's just an extra 3rd car I don't really need.

Going to resist SD for once!

yes, but the 6k enhanced is more gimmick than useful
software doesn't count towards the base price, you can add full auto if you want

I thought I read last week that the $7,500 federal tax credit only applied to the 7-seat version of the Model 3 due to weight limits?

So does that now mean that the $7,500 tax credit applies to ALL Model Y EVs?

I work in the auto industry. ICE cars are going nowhere. EVs and the infrastructure needed to support mass adaptation is still in its infancy.

OEMs are simply pausing development of ICE simply because they been perfected and there are no new upcoming emission standards.

The real reason why all western car companies are jumping into EVs is for one reason only: China. The CCP made it clear their strategic plan is to be first to develop cheap EVs, then flood the global market to become powerhouse. So it has nothing do to with actual demand for EV in US, Europe etc.

Half the country still get piss pops mileage out of EVs when it's less than 30*F.
100%. I work in telecom, and let me tell you: people love their landlines. Most of America gets terrible mobile reception. Speeds are slow and the call quality is awful. Plus, who wants to carry around a phone all the time? They're the size of bricks.

It's like that whole internet shopping thing that these weird niche companies keep trying to push on us. Amazon sells books for crying out loud, there's no market for selling clothes or whatever online. The mega mall isn't going away folks.

And I wouldn't worry about China. Can you believe most Chinese households don't even have a fax machine?

That's not how markets or economies work. The tone of your comment indicates that you just pick up random garbage on the internet and try to make yourself sound like a finance-savvy individual.
