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)

You have to keep the base price with added color & wheels below $55k to qualify. So either paint or wheels. Not both. I am in the same shoes.
JUST buy wheels off craigslist or after sales..are u willing to forgo 7500 because u wanted some extra rims over 1k price difference?

Quote from EfficientWalrus7040 :
Donating to charity is a write off. That reduces your taxable income. A tax credit is a dollar for dollar credit against your tax bill. If you owed $10,000 you'd now owe $2,500. If you owed $500 you'd be getting a rebate of $7,000.
This is partially incorrect. The EV credit is not a refundable credit so if you do not owe $7500 in federal income taxes you will NOT get the $7500 credit. The maximum that you get back is $7500 or your total tax liability, whichever is lower. There are some refundable credits like the EIC and part of the Child Tax Credit, but this EV credit is explicitly not in that category..

So this means:
1. $7500 cash back after we file our federal taxes (assuming you don't owe any taxes)?
Or
2. $7500 tax write off (similar to donating $7500 to charity)?
Choice 1

I took delivery of a Model Y LR on Dec 24th in Norfolk, Va. I spoke to the dealership today regarding a pricematch. They said no.
I urge everyone who took recent delivery to email [email protected] and explain their situation. If enough people complain they may do something. It's a $13K cash price difference for me.

This is the best news ever for me. If you are in the market for a use Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y then expect to see these prices. Drop by at least 10 to 15 thousand dollars for a used one.

WA state : Qualifying for Tax credit $7,500 do we need to go through any paperwork like application with WA State DMV or anything? Or if we meet the income threshold we should should be good when we file taxes next year?

Later don't want to be surprised saying not qualifd for the credit.

cars depreciate more than 20k over 6 years at this price bracket.. battery warranty is 8 year/100k standard industry now..
So if someone wants to sell their vehicle at the 8-year and one day mark, doesn't the perspective buyer have to take into consideration paying potentially up to $20,000 in several years to replace the batteries?

So if the $60,000 Tesla is reselling for $20,000 for argument's sake, assuming that depreciation For the example, The perspective buyer must know that they could be spending up to $40,000 for an 8-year-old vehicle.

Seems like resale value is not going to be that great for this vehicles as more and more people starr posting about getting stuck with a $20,000 battery replacement bill.

Maybe the the taxpayer will provide a rebate for that too :-)

Too many people getting baited early into a bad market. Go look at the car lots. They're getting packed with cars again and the interests rates are high, so it's going to get even worse, so the prices are going to drop significantly. This may be worth it if you are paying cash and need a car right now, but if not, easy pass.
agree. And is the tax credit a refundable credit or just reduced income? Too lazy to google

What is truly eye opening for me in this thread is number of people who doesn't know how tax credit work.
So that boils down to either you don't make enough to pay tax, or you are in some unique career that make profit without paying tax.

If you are the latter, then you obviously know how the tax system work and wouldn't even bother asking this question, if you are the former, isn't spending money on a 50k + car a bit too much for the income and that money better go elsewhere that can increase your income potential?
