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)

People with tax questions. Look at your 2021 1040 tax form. If line 24 is at least $7500 and your 2023 income is the same or above 2021 you'll maximize the $7500 ev credit. Simple as that.
This is one of the best post on this growing thread where everyone is asking if they need to have a tax refund. You have to have a tax liability of at least $7500 to get the full $7500
I had the same confusion and found this article

I'm on my second Bolt and the car has served me very well.
With current $7500 rebate on Bolt, that's a no Brainer if someone wants to get an EV.
I got my bolt premiere with SC and s&s for out of door price After tax credit : 25712.. I need to upgrade my 2nd car so considering Tesla but not sure tax credit will be available for both even though i meet the tax liability and income requirements? Not sure if rule allows 2 new evs and credits on both?

I'm in the same boat as you. Got it mid December 2022. We got screwed for purchasing first.

Quote from MacB00kemDanno :
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?
Not all model Y, for 5 seater only the long range model as price has to be less than 55k. Performance is more than 55k so that doesn't qualify

Couple of questions:

1) When will the radar be added back? Article I found mentions mid Jan.
Is this right would it be better to wait a few more weeks?

2) Should I add the Wall connected at ordering ? Looks like its asking me to pay for it in advance?
Can I get the Wall Connector for $350 at pick up or online somewhere?

3) In relation to #2 does any other brand make a better wall charger or is Tesla the best to get ?

4) The wall charger says professional installation. What if you already have 240V outlet in the garage? I had 2 installed when building my house as I figured I'd get EV at some point.

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.
I do not know where you have been living and where you have been studying.
FED keep rising its rate. Housing prices has come down over 20% from the peak and some area got hit even more. Come back and give your your real hard facts. instead of spewing BS.

Would much rather have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 with a good company backing it than worrying about Elon's latest whim.

Any prediction on price say in June or July? I need a new vehicle by then to replace my 16 yr old Toyota. It still runs great but it has high milage and if/when it does break down, it will really mess up our daily schedule that we don't have time for. Thanks!
They will probably bring back rwd version with a lower price 40-43k, however you will lose tax credit at that time probably.

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.
All Tesla vehicles are direct sale, there is no Tesla dealer

Exactly! - It was laughable when a Tesla salesperson in 2010 was trying to sell me a Tesla Model-S and comparing it with a Mercedes S-Class - What a bunch :-) Did anyone check the quality of plastic used on Model-S door panels? OMG! and does someone find plastic on a S-Class door panel at all ? :-) Again, I am talking about the 2010 era
I wouldn't consider one solely based upon the range, panel gaps and service.

Why are they encouraging the poor to buy expensive cars 😅
Yes, let them buy. Then they will realize they need a garage with fast charger. Too much expense and sell it back to the dealer where we can pick it up cheap without the tax credit.
