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)

They're nice cars

I still don't get why my paycheck is deducted to pay for all these affluent white suburbanites to buy one

If you need a federal handout for a $65k car press thumbs down here:

Yes and they have now been recognized by NTSB to be heavier than ICE cars causing more road damage. And they don't pay for that either.

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.
Are you putting Hyundai Ioniq in the same league as Tesla Model Y? Isn't it like comparing donkey with a horse?

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.

Tesla cars have superior software. This cannot be overstated enough. https://www.pcmag.com/news/bmw-re...y-software

The fact that Teslas do software updates remotely while all other car companies require you going to a physical dealership is a gigantic quality of life improvement. Gigantic. And yes other OEMs will say they can do OTA updates but just google how many times that has happened over the year vs having to physically go in.

It's like buying a Chinese knockoff video game vs the original. Don't submit yourself to that.

And the tesla charging network is sorta a big deal.

why does everyone assume they'll get the full $7500? battery component part of the ira has yet to be determined. currently the battery materials composition is not >=50% sourced in the US. so it's safer to assume you'll be getting $3750 instead

Batter component is irrelevant for Q1 because they aren't issuing guidance until April and they already said everything qualifies until then.

what if i over-paid tax for 2023, will i get refund when filing tax or i lost out on $7500
What you prepaid is irrelevant to qualifying. See my previous posts explaining and citing what lines on your 1040 you need to look at.

let's say you owe the IRS $2500, then you don't have to pay $2500 but won't get the full $7500 credit? You only get $2500 credit?

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)?
I paid cash for the Model S in 2015 and for the Model 3 in 2018. Nobody was giving out 5% in an MM account in those years. End of the day, interest is interest. If you have the liquidity, pay cash and don't get into debt via monthly payments.

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
That is 100% not true Man. Please go look at the rules for this $7500 credit. It's not like the old one.

Sure...but it has nothing to do with qualifying for the credit or not.

In theory it might let you get some of the $7500 earlier in the year but that's all it'd change.
I feel like Tesla needs to educate the public on how to actually qualify for this credit they're advertising on their site. I feel my taxes are fairly straightforward and even then, having a tough time figuring out if I qualify.

this is correct. what i had posted earlier here is wrong. look at line 24 on your 1040 to determine if u get anything at all

The IRS has delayed implementing this rule until March. You can Google this news.

It is, but it's what you said earlier.

Adjusting w4 is the only way for a lot of us to end up paying less to irs.

This is -100 percent wrong- and shows you still don't understand this.

What you pre-pay is totally irrelevant to qualifying.

Go re-read my post calling out the 1040 lines in play and this becomes obvious.

You have resolved the credit BEFORE YOU GET TO what you pre-paid via your W4 when filling out your 1040.
