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 is false. There are multiple sources and anecdotes including the one above from EliteDealHunter that would prove otherwise. I am not talking about non-comparable civic or bolt. Tesla is more expensive to insure than comparable luxury cars.
ok.. go on carvana and find a same price msrp porsche and run a progressive quote vs tesla .. i guarantee theyre almost the same

I feel sorry for your mistake. If anyone out there is paying attention to the economy, car manufacturers across the board will start slashing prices this year as not many people can afford a $50k typical car loan at 5% even for prime borrowers.

Which Porsche? Let's compare apples with apples. If you compare Cayman and 3, which are polar opposites on the vehicular front, then it does not make sense.

7 year old styling. Musk has taken out radar on tons of them. Crappy build quality. Tons of inventory and the tax credit for used only works on >2 year old cars so if you change your mind the trade in value is going to be absolutely hosed (all cars purchased last 2 years will be hitting used car market, now below the new reduced prices and then qualifying for the used credit).
Audi eTron and Mustang MachE look 1000x better and have better service infrastructure. A Ford F150 Lightning will qualify for accelerated depreciation if you buy it for a business (plus the tax credit) and serves as a backup generator.
Also recently they downgraded the brake calipers on the Performance and then put a fake cap on the outside of it to disguise that they did.

Buyer beware. Oh, and the White model's plastic white bumper doesn't match the metal white. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

I would agree Tesla insurance is cheaper based on my experience. But both of you are wrong to even try to blanket statement it. Just say "Tesla is likely to be cheaper". But there's a huge factor which is your safety score in the app. If you stay at 99 I think it's hard for any other insurance company to beat, but if it gets down to say 85-90 it's not that cheap
So how much is your tesla insurance?

that's when IRA supposed to publish guideline for battery component, which would determines who/what qualifies for 3750 part of 7500 rebate. As of now, no guideline so these cars qualify for full 7500. That might/might not change after guideline is published.

Quote from bill_tong :
I thought under the new rules the credit was a direct dealer credit, which would apply immediately to the purchase price of the car and not appear as a tax credit that you need to claim back.
For 2023, the credit has to be claimed on your annual income tax filing, so currently there is roughly a one-year delay between when you purchase the eligible vehicle and when you receive the credit. Note also that the credit is nonrefundable, meaning buyers need to have a federal tax liability to get full or partial benefits. It's not a rebate - if you don't have 7500 in federal tax liability, your credit will be limited to whatever liability you DO have. This is the government's fault, not the manufacturers.

Beginning next year - 2024 - the credit IS a direct Point-of-Sale credit. Dealers can subtract $7500 from the purchase price right away without you needing to meet any tax liability standard, although you may expect to have to show that you met the income eligibility limits at the end of the year and may then be forced to pay back the credit if you made too much money to be eligible. Again, blame the government for this.

this is my calculation for 8k miles
$500 gas + $100 oil change(2 changes per year 5000 miles once)


for EV 4Kw/100 miles with $0.20 $350 per year. So $200-300 difference per year.
(Do consider, the EV range goes down in winters by almost 1/3rd)
$500 of gas to go 8000 miles? What kind of MPG are you getting? What was the MSRP of your car? That doesn't seem right

Lowest quality vehicles on the market. Zero reason to buy Tesla at this point. Elon Musk will have this company bankrupt or owned by Saudis within a year.
