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've owned several hybrids (actually overall a big fan despite the "dude driving a hybrid" stigma), and have considered EVs for a bit...but with the driving I do, it essentially kills my long road trips. The range isn't there. And the cost kind of doesn't make it worthwhile otherwise.

Also, does it feel like they just kind of killed the used car market for Tesla's now? I've seen used ones going for significantly more than this...guessing those sellers that haven't moved or traded in their Teslas just took a hit in the ol' pocketbook.

Do note that these Tesla cars DO NOT have spare tires. You get a flat and it's tow truck time. Have fun with that, especially if out in the boonies when wait time could be hours for the truck. If you have people in the car, how do they get transportation? Uber? Cost of driving is substantially less with a high mileage gas burner, especially a Prius. Here in CA our electrical grid is out often.

Quote from sarpertas :
Can you explain little more for used evs? Dont want to spent that much on a brand new one but will consider used if we can get some tax credit
here is a basic summery, Im sure there is a wealth of info online as well like here [irs.gov]

One of the most contentious issues with the older version of the EV tax credit was its exclusion of used cars. The IRA remedies this. Beginning in 2023, qualifying used EV purchases can fetch taxpayers a credit of up to $4,000, limited to 30% of the car's purchase price.
Some other qualifications:
Used car must be plug-in electric or fuel cell.
Only qualifies for the first transfer of a vehicle.
Purchase price of car must be $25,000 or less.
Car model must be at least 2 years old.
Credit can only be claimed once every three years.

Quote from PennStateFan :
I thought Camrys were about $20K out the door if not less (for just LE model)?
Not sure about current price. But in 2018 : yes you can for low entry model (le) and bargain with atleast 3-4 dealerships through email😎.

We bought rav4 xle in 2018 for 24k all included total with taxes, dealer fees, car registration in Cary, NC.
This waa the lowest price we did bargaining within 4 dealerships. Small city was more cheaper but… my wife did not want to drive 2 hours round trip.

My Hyundai didn't come with a spare tire either. So what? Just get run flats, a tire patch kit, or some other means to repair if you're worried about it.

That's ridiculous, when it has higher safety ratings than all ice vehicles, and far-less moving parts.
If a Tesla gets hit, the massive weight of the batteries and momentum usually destroy the structure and the vehicle gets totaled out. Not to mention the lack of shops who can work on them if they aren't totaled. The wait times aren't weeks, but months to repair excess body damage.

Quote from Mr0ffic3r :
LOL - WTF? So much wrong here. Styling is subjective.

Have you physically seen, with your own eyes, how much storage/cargo-room a Model Y has?
Where have you been last 2 years? Mach E - EV6 - Tesla - Bolt - ID4 - show me proof they depreciated more than ICE? If anything, in the past 2 years, they actually APPRECIATED as in when you drove them off the lot you could make a few bucks immediately selling to people that didn't want to wait.

You can always wait for 'newer tech' and never actually buy anything - there will always be 'newer tech.'

After the EV9, hold out for the EV11, or the EV69 - da heck kind of logic is this.
Also this very thread proves you wrong on depreciation. People that bought the Y over the last year just lost thousands, if they tired to resale now.

It's a "deal" for a luxury toy, but I can't comprehend spending $60k on a car... That money would go so far other places.

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.

Is that supposed to be a brag? What's better - cash sitting at nearly 5% in a risk-free MM/MF and paying 2% on an auto loan, or paying cash upfront (for depreciating assets no less)?
