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)

that's in a complete different class, 1.5L engine and tiny...That's not really comparable is it?
My response wasn't meant to compare the Honda Insight to the Tesla.

But, given the price, one might compare the two on a value basis (cost/mile).

Thanks for the clarification. What's the process to add FSD may be a year or two after car delivery?
Would suggest just do monthly subscription for $200 for FSD if you want to try it. No point paying 15k up front when it's not transferable.

Not sure why there is $6000 and $15000 for advanced autopilot. Can the car drive itself if pay without these options?
Nope, Tesla will not drive itself, even if you pay 15000. Tesla call it FSD, but it is hit and miss. Almost all the features in Tesla are in Beta phase, driver is responsible for everything. Most of the times it is more stressful to use those features than driving yourself.

Quote from makimbell :
You continue to be wrong. This is a tax credit, and it will reduce your tax burden by $7500. What you withhold has no impact on this at all. Your income determines what you owe the IRS for the year. Some of it, you will pre-pay throughout the year from each paycheck. When you file your tax refund, you are simply resolving the final amount -- the IRS may owe you because you paid too much, and you may owe the IRS because you paid too little. Either way, the amount you pay will be the same, and the amount that this tax credit affects you will be the same. This tax credit will make it so that the final amount you pay the IRS will be $7500 less.

It is only non-refundable in the sense that it cannot cause you to have paid NEGATIVE taxes for the year. For example, if your total tax liability is $6000, you will not make a profit of $1500 by claiming this tax credit. You will end up paying the IRS $0.

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)
Can people not see the post I was quoting? We were talking about Supercharging for people who cant charge at home.

Go to plugshare, look up your zip code, click on a supercharger sign on the map. How much is it to charge at 6pm in your area?

It costs $0.44 cents to supercharge near me from 11am-9pm. And electricity is cheap in my area(12 cents per Kwh and no such thing as peak hours on my bill)

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.
You are right. I I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. I re read the tax code and I misunderstood the meaning of owed.

Quote from EliteDealHunter :
Because fans are willing to overlook all the issues for the novelty of having a car that goes fast in a straight line and there wasn't much EV competition. I've had 2 and combined both were in for service more than the other dozens of cars I've owned COMBINED. Both cars had to have service appointments scheduled the day I bought them because of issues that were found upon delivery. One completely failed on a road trip with less than 10,000 miles on it and stranded me for 2 days. If you think they're great that's fine… but from my experience they are terrible and people are willing to overlook a lot just because of the novelty right now.
I'm sorry you had issue, but again, which car manufactures don't have any issue? You can go on any car forum and every where there are people complaining with issues with their cars. Looking at customer satisfaction as a group is the best way to gauge how happy a person is with the purchase. They don't all have to be Tesla fans, but if they are satisfied, what's the problem?

No worries. I only wanted to clarify because it had been something that I wasn't sure about and recently researched. I wanted everyone to be getting the correct information because it's confusing enough already.

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.
why on earth you are comparing electricity rates in california with gas prices in Dallas !!!! Dallas area residents pay 12c KWH.

There are other benefits to buying EV. Way lower maintenance(due to fewer moving parts), car has way more performance than a Camry !!!! Plus its more fun to drive for sure.

Prices are just becoming more realistic again. I never look at a car as an investment, just see it as a depreciating asset. Some have gotten use to thinking a car should have equity these last couple years is all.

Currently if you want to add it to an existing car you can just purchase it with a couple of clicks either- in the car itself on screen, with the phone app, or via the website.



Quote from Abhi88 :
with 60 mpg whats the problem i fail to understand? all sedans are safer than SUVs, no idea why is EVs more safer?.

Teslas vehicles have the lowest chance of injury of any vehicles ever tested by the NHTSA. They are significantly safer than anything Honda (or anyone else) makes.

Now, modern cars are pretty safe compared to old cars... so it's a matter of degrees of course. But they are objectively safer.

what if i over-paid tax for 2023, will i get refund when filing tax or i lost out on $7500
What you over or under pay during the year has no effect on this tax credit.

The only thing that matters is the Line if your tax return that's says "Total Tax" this is just before you put in how much was already withheld and calculate your refund or what you owe. If Total tax is $7500 or more you can claim this entire credit. If it is less you can only claim this credit up to that amount.

You shouldn't buy an EV if you can't charge at home, IMO.
