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)

This thread is moving too quick but do not listen to the tax comments from livelifeup22 and loveday22. I feel like it's the same person. And while they might be well-intentioned, they have it wrong.

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.
Tesla has the worst customer service and tech support. It is next to impossible to talk to real person. It takes months to get service appointment and weeks to get your car back.

I am making above statement as a two tesla owner and based on personal experience.

My friend had an accident and Damaged his Tesla model X. it is not in a driving condition. Next available appointment is after two months and estimate time to repair, additional four months. This is ridiculous. Fortunately he has a spare car to use which most people don't have.

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.

That's what I wanted to do, having been screwed by tax credits in the past. Turns out even after researching and reading I am in incapable of understanding it correctly. Good thing there are people more knowledgeable on this forum.

Even if you hate Tesla's and Elon, this is good news for the potential buyer. The tide may be shifting a bit towards the consumer. EV prices are ridiculous and nobody asked for the Hummer EV….what a waste of the cobalt-mining Congolese child's blood, sweat and tears.

Lol this is what I tell everyone. Tesla doesn't care about current customers. Their only focus is growth. So if that means horrible quality and customer service- and screwing people that bought cars last week, so be it.

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.






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.
do not disagree. I am aware of the safety with EVs due to the front trunk, however thats not a parameter for buying +$15k car and get $200 cost difference per year on energy/gas consumption. No one has to trust me but i have done calculation with average $8k miles per year, it doesnt make any sense to spent extra $15k+ which cant be recovered for next 10 years atleast.

I changed my username last night and it took effect now looks like. But yes I am wrong and I apologize - please look at Knightshade comments. My apologies for anyone I confused, I was confused myself.

If you can wait then wait. Macroeconomics dictates that prices have more to fall.

A bit of a weirdo question - can I still claim the tax credit if I'm leasing a qualifying model? In another conversation for another brand I was once told the manufacturer needs to pass on the credit.

Any insights into that?
