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)

The calculation I was responding to was a model y in California.

a Model 3 gets 4 miles per KWH. It takes 12.5Kwh to get 50 miles.

A Tesla Model 3 costs $4.25 to go 50 miles at 0.34 cents per Kwh.
A Tesla Model 3 costs $2.81 to go 33 miles at 0.34 cents per Kwh.
A Camry hybrid gets 50MPG. It costs $3/gal in dallas.
A 4cyl Camry gets 33MPG. It costs $3/gal in dallas.

IMO, if you cant charge at home... dont buy an EV.
.34 cents per kWh is absurdly high. Most people in the country pay nothing near that.

This is a silly calculation

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.
What you doing here on SD mate? This is the wrong forum for you, you need to join Elon forum with all the rich people.

I don't think there will be a rush. Lot of economic uncertainty

Quote from TheSource777 :
Hybrids are literally the worst of both worlds because you pay for a mediocre version of two drivetrains. You don't get the safety benefits of an electric car (low center of gravity with large battery pack, front crumple zone, still gotta pay for gas maintenance).
Nonsense. I paid less than $25K including all taxes and fees back in 2018 for a new Honda Insight EX 3rd gen. I can fill up with 500 miles of range in less than 5 minutes at any of tens of thousands of gas stations... and it has top safety ratings.

My next car might be all electric, and I will do my research when it comes time to buy based on what's available on the market at the time... but hybrids are great stepping stones to all-electric.

Tesla is literally the lowest rated on initial quality out of every brand sold.
whine harder. if there are really as many issues why would it have highest customer satisfaction?

These do not get the
Milage they claim, and that claimed mpg is always getting smaller as batteries fade
and ice gets the mileage it claims? my accord sports 2018 gets city 23mpg..
if you're going to throw driving behavior/weather condition in, then battery is exactly as advertise on specific condition

plus battery have 100kmile/8yr warranty to be above 70% health.

Tesla really screwed their 2022 customers with what was in their control. Reinstated $7500 credit is not their fault but their freewheeling business decisions are kinda ridiculous.

Model 3/Y are the benchmark for EVs imo so no hate on their products.

Anyway glad they lowered the prices.

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.
Tesla knows there are lots of fanboys out there, so they don't really care about their customers because they already know they will accept any cr@p they dish out to them. All fanboys will take the abuse instead of saying no and move on to other brands.

I'm predicting that some standard features will be removed to compensate for the price reduction. USS was recently removed without an alternative even though they say it will happen. Fanboys will say ok, thanks Elon..worship

BTW, I hold a lot of TSLA stock and recent downturn makes me second guess my investment.

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.
Heh any BMW, AUDI or Mercedes in 45k range is better built and contented than model 3….

i am in agreement with you about home charging
however $0.34 is on the very high side of electricity usage home rates. maybe in California and select other areas. but rest of country is not paying that. here in Pennsylvania i am paying $0.14/kwh (well it's technically $0.138 but w/e)
