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)

Quote from SamirPD :
Forget the gas savings--they're almost nothing compared to the less maintenance these cars have. My 2005 Porsche Boxster has less miles than my wife's 2018 M3 and I know I've spent at least 5x more on maintenance that I've mostly done myself. The ability to 'just charge and go and that's it' is a real game changer--no oil changes, no transmission fluid, no coolant, no belts, no spark plugs--just. so. much. less.
Oh here we go again with the no maintenance diatribe. Let's compare an 18 year old German cars maintenance to a new vehicle.

News Flash, all of the things you mention, trans fluid, coolant, belts, spark plugs, are all good for 100K miles on a modern vehicle.

Meanwhile your Tesla, still has tires, brakes, suspension, a 12 volt electrical system, all of which will require maintenance, same as an ICE. As far as oil changes unless you are driving crazy miles, with synthetic it is like twice a year, when you rotate the tires.

Now your Tesla has all kinds of unknown vulnerabilities and potential issues with hardware that runs that awesome software. Remember the MCU problem anyone?

Why are they encouraging the poor to buy expensive cars 😅
Median US household income is $70k.
Median individual income is $46k.

Individuals making over $150k are in the top 8%.
Households making over $300k are in the top 5%.

If you're making too much money to take advantage of this rebate... Sorry that you're making more than 92-95% of the rest of the US?

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
If you need to borrow money to buy a luxury vehicle or you need to lease it to lower the payments, that means that you can't afford it. Financial education in this country is abysmal. If people would just live within or below their means, we wouldn't be in the crisis we are right now.

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

4680 is not LFP FYI

4680s are cylindrical, Tesla does not use cylindrical LFP (I'm not aware of anyone who even makes cylindrical LFP thought it's technically possible)

4680s are produced by Tesla (in CA, and soon in TX and Berlin)- LFPs are produced by CATL in China.

LFPs are "better" in that they last longer and can safely be charged to 100%, but 2170 (and 18650 and 4680 the other two cylindrical non-LFP cells Tesla uses) are "better" in that they have superior energy density (so you can get more range from the same weight of battery cells)...so both have pros and cons.

Man pour one out for the folks who bought this in November without any credit and paid nearly 70K for this car. I never for once thought this was a 70K car. This is much closer to its true value especially when there is a sea of them out there and Tesla keeps removing shit from the car and regressing its functionality. Not to mention having Elon as a CEO.

Makes sense. The price of lumber is going down which makes producing Teslas cheaper. [thedrive.com] Musk is just passing the cost savings to the consumer.

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?
Awww I see you are trying to be cute. Let me clue you in: most of current EV programs at Big 3 are referred to as "compliance vehicles"….. I will let you spend some time to think and report what is really meant by that.

I hate to tell you this, but you are responsible for a lot more loss than that. (SBF)

You created the other thread that pumped the FOMO.

Then the mods deleted any negative comments about Tesla so it was like all sunshine and rainbows. (Betting this post gets deleted)

People were losing their minds, driving hundreds of miles accepting cars sight unseen. For what? To lose 5 figures?

And to think, you all thought you were getting such a deal!

This one is gonna sting, I don't care how rich you are, if you are here on slick, this hurts!

I am certain that my next car will be electric, and there was a time when I thought it would likely be a Tesla, but now... I find it hard to imagine buying that company's products.
