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)

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.
Tweeting conspiracy theories about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband drunk and getting attacked by a male prostitute in a dispute. (For the record, I wasn't a big fan of hers, but that is rubbish.) And about arresting former medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci (for who knows what). There are others. Musk ends up deleting some of them due to being ill-informed and outright wrong.

But if you like the car and it makes fiscal sense go for it - maybe you can help pump up my remaining Tesla stock and undue the damage from the nut Musk.

It really depends on where one lives. If Bay Area, $150K is considered low income. 😂
Median household income for the San Francisco metro area is $116k.

I know the cost of living there is ridiculously high, but if you're an individual making over $150k, you're still making 30% more than half the households in the Bay area.

Teslas are a piece of shiitake. They finally bought my brother's uncles sister's 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.
oh man, your brother's uncles sister's friend told you this story? Cool story bro.

My 4 year old 3 has no issues, not even a rattle. The 50k warranty is about to expire in 2 months and there is nothing for them to do or look at on it.

Which costs you $26,667 in fuel over 200k miles assuming gas at $4/gallon and 30 miles per gallon. Gas in CA is higher than that. Worth considering and I am not pro electric car for our household right now.
since you're there calculating, what's the cost for 200k miles of electricity? lets assume house with out solar.

Quote from Buckeyefan 1 :
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.
That's why they cost more to insure

Quote from EfficientWalrus7040 :
Donating to charity is a write off. That reduces your taxable income. A tax credit is a dollar for dollar credit against your tax bill. If you owed $10,000 you'd now owe $2,500. If you owed $500 you'd be getting a rebate of $7,000.
EfficientWalrus7040 is correct. It does not matter weather your bottom line on the tax return is owing or getting a refund. Look for the line that says TOTAL TAX on the tax return, if it is $7,500 or more and you are not over the income limits for the rebate you benefit the $7,500. If your TOTAL TAX amount is between $1 and $7, 499, you would benefit from that amount. The credit would either reduce what you would have otherwise owed or increase what you would otherwise have gotten back. The refund number at the bottom of the return is based on how much withholding you had or did not have, the credit would apply, and again, just decrease what you would have owed or increase what you're getting back. I hope this helps.

On a 3, you can get anywhere from 200-300 wh per mile, lets average it do 250 since that divides by 1 kwh easily. So 4 miles per kwh. National avg for power in the US is 14 cents.

200k miles / 4 = 50,000 kwh * .14 = $7,000.

200k at 30 mpg and $3/gallon would be $20,000 for comparison.

My old car did about 20 mpg, at current rates I save close to $2000 a year on fuel. But I also save a lot on zero maintenance. Battery failure is a possibility, but it has 8 year / 120k warranty on that and its an edge case.

The NCA cells are rated for 1500 charge cycles, which is close to 500,000 miles. At that point they should have lost around 20% capacity, but still be usable.

There is an inverse correlation to what size of screen you want in your car and your age.

Is LR still qualified for full $7,500 tax credit in April if IRS enforces strict battery rules? The delivery date could be April according to website.

Funny how people saying nothing try to hype their own posts by saying things like "BOOM!!".

Most people who can't afford the car aren't likely to be paying taxes, especially in amounts greater than the cost of the public services they or their children consume, to begin with.

The people who can afford it are paying most of the taxes that subsidize people like you, so instead of boom, maybe you should say "THANK YOU!!!".
I'm not looking for the handout. You are.
