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 quality of Telsa has gone down the hail, this past 2 years all the car has so many issue and so bad termination, I think is not worth it.

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?
They don't "need" to. The leasing company can keep it for themselves

Well I'm getting the hell out of Texas in a few years. Can't afford the high cost of living here due to the excessive property taxes and skyrocketing homeowners insurance rates.

Quote from Abhi88 :
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.
$200 a year? That can't be correct. Have you taken into consideration maintenance cost of an EV? ICE requires an oil change usually once every 6 months at a minimum which runs an average $50 these days * 2.. $100 just in oil changes..

Tesla business approach is akin to modern electronics companies like NVidia, Samsung and Apple, and apparently will follow the same retail burst cycle, just a lot more amplified due to the size of the expenditure. They should've cut the prices earlier in the US, now is already after the fact of falling from the cliff sales...
Not sure why exactly this is posted here, what is the deal of buying a quickly depreciating asset which just recently increased its speed of depreciation. It just doesn't make financial sense.
This . save this post and read it every time you feel like buying Tesla car at the current price

If you can wait then wait. Macroeconomics dictates that prices have more to fall.
actually don't think that's the case. Tesla doing one time big reduction is to get ahead of macro and recessionary environment. It's not good for anybody if Tesla continues to do a small price cut here and there. This puts a floor in at 45 after IRA for Model Y. They will sell every car they make and at the same time dropping hammer on other car manufactures, there's no point doing any further cut.

Not dealing with Tesla again. Before the previous Federal Tax Rebate ended, I ordered a M3 in October, already had depost since launch day. Every other day they would say delivery is tomorrow even on its way. Dec 31st, they go pick it up 200 miles away and I call the store. They say they have no cars, even in the showroom. The VIN number provided was scheduled for production but was not made.
They said they will refund my deposit but never happened. CC company chimed in when they disputed that car was ready before Dec 31st.
From my PoV, they are terrible and have been taking advantage of customers in pricing, quality and service and on top are dishonest.

I bought a 21 prius prime le for $24k out the door in the bay area January 2021. With all the incentives, it came out to $19.5k. I thought I timed the market perfectly.

But now I feel cheated because I am one of those people that took delivery of model Y at end of 2022. I did trade in my prius prime though at tesla for $25.5k. I wish there is something tesla would give back for the people that just bought their cars but that's wishful thinking. I guess the only way is to average out the loss by buying another tesla lol
Yeah, that's a bummer. At least it's not a Prius, though!

Speaking of bummers, not sure if you're in CA (like me), but just wait until you can't charge the car in the summer... CA supposedly wants everyone to have electric cars, but doesn't even have enough energy for people to run AC in the summer! Great planning and execution, as per usual. Though it might be on purpose.

But don't the batteries cost up to $20,000 to replace? So I guess it's better to sell the vehicle maybe after 6 years or so while still plenty of battery life left?

This is not true. Since the MSRP is under $55000 you no longer need to have the 7 seater option for the credit
Sorry I meant base model 5-seater + 7-seater qualify, but 5-seater MYP doesn't since it is > $55,000 (and there is no 7-seater MYP)

I have been driving ev for last 6 year and rarely charge at home.

The answer is.. it al depends
Yeah if you get free charging at work then that makes sense. Otherwise if you're constantly fast charging (which isn't good for the health of your battery), paying expensive rates then better to stick to ICE
