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.

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 was reading that The Model Y long range did not qualify for the EV Tax credit since it didn't meet the weight criteria as defined by the IRS for SUVs, irrespective of MSRP. Is this no longer true?

How is a vehicle a Frontpage deal. Yup, I got $60K to just blow on a new Tesla. People that got money to blow are not on Slickdeals and if they are then that is weird because if I had that kind of money I wouldn't care about consumer goods.
Read The Millionaire Mind. You have a lot of poor assumptions to correct. I'm cheap as hell and want the best price on everything when it's worth my time. You bet I heavily negotiated all of my vehicle purchases and paid with cash prior to being unable to mostly last go around due to poor market timing and lack of inventory.

If you count equity in homes plus retirement savings just for CA residents on SD, there are plenty of millionaires.

Consider this:

Wealth whispers.

People who are good at something don't need to brag about it. They take pride in their effort and maybe in their skill. Social Media would lead you to believe otherwise but it's full of paid shills trying to influence you, one of the most laughable societal developments in human history imho (humans are very manipulatable).

People don't accumulate wealth by frivolously spending money.

The new average vehicle purchase isn't much less than this. 18% of people doing loans, regular Americans, spend >$1k/ month. The same people making comments like you did. (I'll put aside the argument to be made by financing when you can get a very low APR loan and invest the difference over time, but it wasn't worth my time)

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.
The time to worry about fed raising interest rates was at the end of 2021. They are very close to pausing rate hikes. You are late to the short party. Comments like yours reinforce my belief that the equity markets have bottomed.

What do I know, right? After all, I paid cash for Model S and 3 while you are still making payments on that 2005 Camry.

So I ordered one in 2022 and haven't gotten it yet. Should I cancel the order and place a new order now that it's so much cheaper?

Try finding a "subsidized Bank" that will make a loan on something that now depreciates faster than any payment schedule , and then find out the required income to back up the depreciation is now more than the "low qualifying" income to even receive the credit

Good to know, but thrifty me would never even consider paying that for a car even though I could. I remember back when that Chinese company was selling electric vehicles online for the same price as the tax credit, basically making them free. That's why the IRS had to totally revamp which vehicles qualified for the credit. I'm all about going green, but paying a lot of money to do it is more of a political statement than an actual good deed for the planet.

They will probably bring back rwd version with a lower price 40-43k, however you will lose tax credit at that time probably.
I think the tax credit will be halved after March? Unless Tesla can show their batteries qualify. I just want RWD, rarely any snow or rain here in Las Vegas.
I was locked into getting a Bolt EUV due it's low price but if Tesla continues to cut prices, I may have to reconsider.

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!
Did Carvana buy it from you? There is a reason they are going bankrupt! Haha

Yes That's what I thought. The 3 Row meets the weight criteria. So I see people here talking about the 2 row model for the Tax credit if it came below 55k MSRP. So I wasn't sure if I had misunderstood.

hmm you sure about this? i dont think so from what i have read of reddit. i believe people are saying 4680 battery in model y are only about 270 miles.

You are right. Sorry I misspoke since I hadn't got my morning coffee yet.

4680 batteries are LFP and inferior with less range like 279 miles.
2170 are better and the Model Y with 330 mile range.
