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)

I just paid cash for a 2016 Ford F250 Superduty Powerstroke Diesel...factoring in my trade-in, the vehicle was probably sold to me for about $36,000. No car payments, just have to buy a ton of Diesel fuel to put in it! If I would have traded in my previous vehicle for one of these, I would probably end up with a car loan for $19,000 +/- with taxes included. My credit union's current rate is 5.75% for 60 months giving me a car payment for the next 5 years of $365/ month to own a Tesla. I can buy a lot of diesel for that... I am happy with my ginormous truck!
You have no idea how much you paid for your vehicle? Lmfao

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.
Headway makes cylindrical LFP batteries. LFP batteries also do not go into thermal inferno like 4680s or similar Lithium-Ion batteries.

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.
How do you think people got to the point where they have money to blow? I promise you the thriftiest spenders are the wealthiest. The difference is they've figured out the three types of income. You'll never obtain wealth simply by working for wages and surfing SD.

Quote from Indio22 :
This is partly a "Musk can't keep his yap shut" move. Every time he tweets some conspiracy theory, as a stock holder I cringe, but thankfully I sold a bunch earlier.

More on topic, as an urban dweller, I still won't jump to EV until one is available for around 20k for an urban commuter. My household doesn't need high range or upscale elements, I already have a gasoline vehicle in the household for longer trips and that stuff.

I'd jump on a cheap EV though, it could handle 70% of the typical weekly driving in my household, but it's got to be an economy car, that's the point for my usage.
Found the lefty Musk hater.

Before I jump on this deal, I need to know what you found out.....
like what conspiracy issues? Because all that is being done that I can see, is revealing actual past tweets revealing misconduct via collusion of crooked politicians and former Twitter execs who since have resigned.

Are there loopholes for higher earners to get the tax credit?
Claim huge losses this year to get your AGI below the income threshold.

example: Buy TSLA stocks right now.

Teslas are a piece of shiitake. They finally bought my neighbor's back from him after a long string of mechanical and software problems they could never make right. Your net environmental impact isn't improved, you're paying more and not getting a corresponding increase in quality, so....why then? Is it the Apple effect? Although Apple actually makes good (usually reliable) products.
