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)

If you owe the IRS you can claim the refund. How are you owing the IRS if you have paid 10k extra and getting a refund already?
If you owed the IRS any tax at all throughout the whole year. It doesn't matter whether you paid it or not already. You still owed tax.

Someone is thinking here! I agree with this. With current electricity rate across the nation a Tesla is equivalent to a 40-50mpg car if you have to use the grid's power.

However, if you have solar already that mpg essentially could be to 70-80mpg.
National average rate for charging at home is 0.1043 KWH. Charging at home is super cheap.

Damn it why does Tesla have to complicate my life? I was already set on getting a hybrid SUV for similar price. Now Tesla is making me reconsider.
Which hybrid SUV?

Quote from Daekwan :
I often see this quoted and literally, some of the worst information shared. And I say this as a Model Y owner.. living in a 100% EV household (my wife has the ID.4)

Hybrids.. especially Toyota hybrids.. have been proven to be some of the best purchases on the entire market. They are affordable, reliable, and provide true fuel savings if owned & driven far enough. People who have bought vehicles like the Prius or Hybrid Highlander have now enjoyed decades of hybrid benefits. Many hybrids are now more powerful & quicker than their ICE-only counterparts.. all while providing a smoother and quieter operation. And for someone who doesn't have the ability to install a home charger.. takes long trips where DC fast chargers are not common.. drives a lot in freezing weather.. or even hauls/tows heavy loads often.. they are a better choice.

Everyone needs to examine their specific needs and buy the vehicle that fits their needs the best. There is no such thing as an absolute better or worst option for absolutely every scenario and driver.
hybrid right now are marked up by stealerships.. rav 4 prime going for $50k for high end and low 40s for base prime trims...

I read the IRS guidelines and multiple articles on this topic. I am still unclear what you're finding a problem with. If you do not owe the IRS you cannot claim the tax credit. I have posted links in an earlier post where it is clearly stated.

because you keep claiming if you don't get a refund you don't qualify for the credit.

That is fundamentally false.

You keep mixing up line 24 on the 1040 with line 37.

Almost every other car is better as far as quality and customer service. Speaking from experience and having gotten rid of 2.
that's your opinion. I got 2 MY and coming from BMW, couldn't be happier. There's a reason why Tesla has highest satisfaction rate and you are in the minority. If you don't like it, move along. Again, show us a better car at 45k. You can't.

Most people do not have solar that exceeds their household demand. You would have to have a REALLY large system to also charge a EV.

Thank you OP. This post should be awarded the best slickdeal post 👍. Thousands of dollars savings and many peoples dream car who could not buy it due to its outrageous price.

Unfortunately I brought both Tesla S and model Y at full price and no tax incentives last year!

If you are looking for Y or 3, jump in by all means.

Tesla is literally the lowest rated on initial quality out of every brand sold.

These do not get the
Milage they claim, and that claimed mpg is always getting smaller as batteries fade

Hell no! I would not give that DB a penny of my money. Doesn't deserve it. The styling is also really played out already. Materials used are cheap and overly simplistic - just look it up. Good luck.

is the delivery have to happen before the end of March or its end of Feb to be qualify 7500?
It has to happen before the IRS releases guidance on the battery guidelines. They have stated that it will be no sooner than March.
