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)

Same here. And I already own a Tesla.

That said it isn't necessarily a clown show. There are people making very good points all around.. and I have learned a lot. Including the bits about the new HD radar coming soon on new Teslas!

website shows a bunch of inventory available nationwide.. you can try and get one in a few days possibly.. during my Dec purchase, it was just a one week process from order to delivery
It's not available in my preference color in 200 mile range. Only option for me to order and it's showing Jan to March 2023 Delivery estimate. Do you guys think they will be able to delivery before March 2023?

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.
No donut tire with the Hun? Model? Do tell how run flat tires or a patch kit works when a tire is destroyed when hitting something? LOL.

That's...not how that works.

What you "paid" as in witholdings or estimated payments, is utterly irrelevant to your tax burden.

It's just an attempt to pre-pay that burden.

The credit reduces the BURDEN.

So as long as you owed $7500 or more in taxes, regardless of how much you did or did not "pay" throughout the year, you get the full $7500 credit.






See above- how much you still owed after doing your taxes or get as a refund does not tell you anything.

How much tax did you owe for the year on your return? Not "how much did you owe after you prepayed a bunch in withholdings" but how much TOTAL did you owe? That's the # that matters,
'
is that info available on my w2 form?

I usually get $200-$400 from the IRS every year. Does that mean I won't get $7500 back as a refund?

Well , called the customer service, obviously they don't care about pricing even if you bought just few days ago. I guess Model Y customers are royally screwed by Musk.
Think the new Chief they brought in from China probably came up with this idea. Musk probably just oked the move. The margins they were making on the vehicles was just beyond belief and could not be maintained.

How much does it cost for a full charge at home? Someone told me as low as $10-15 during midnight time
Varies depending on your cost of electricity from state to state.

I'm glad finally someone mentioned about Tesla insurance.
Insurance on my Model Y LR is approximately $1150 a year. That's on 300k/100K Full coverage with $500 deductible. Plus I have Umbrella insurance on top of that coverage for additional $300 a year. All with Geico.

What if delivery is in April? Does it impact the $7500 tax credit?

Their in-stock has restrictions on being able to registering vehicles in certain states? Showing options for Maryland but can not be registered in Maryland? How does this make sense?

Delivery Location
Showing options for 21014
This car can only be registered in DE, ME, NH, NJ, VT
That's how there website is setup, like when they say fully self Drivable car but it's not .. 😊

Is there a reason people wouldn't prefer Ioniq 5 / EV 6 at this point? Besides Tesla's charging network?

Tesla cars seem dated at this point (exterior design). and the brand carries a ton of baggage.

That is correct. You will need to adjust your W4 to pay less enough that you will owe at least 7500 next year…and then offset that with this credit.

again this is flat out wrong.

Withholdings have no impact on eligibility for the credit.

Here again-

If you need an illustration-- go look at the 1040 form.
Line 16 is how much tax you owe before any additional deductions. Line 24 is your total tax owed after additional deductions (child credits for example)
If, absent the EV credit, line 24 is still $7500 or more you'd get the full $7500 credit that reduced that amount (this credit would also be filled in between 16 and 24).

It's only lines 25-33 that care about how much you "paid" thoroughout the year in withholdings and other payments. And that just determines, net of line 24, if you are owed $ back or owe more to the IRS.

No, just no. Please just stop spreading misinformation. The tax credit is not refundable. Somebody might believe this and end up with massive shock next year.
You're the one spreading misinformation. If the tax liability is more than 7.5k you will get the refund no matter what you have already paid
