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)

In case of Model y 5 seater vs 7 seater you might loose significant trunk space when using 3 rd row.
Check these videos you might get some idea:

I have never driven or been on a Tesla. Looking at the interior for the first time. The seats look thing and flimsy. This is giving me me second thoughts :/

Quote from Juganhut :
So many questions on the tax portion of this....if you don't know how to do your taxes then your not going to know when you need to plug in your car.

Simply put, it does not matter how much is withheld in federal taxes, its how much the IRS will take (what you owe) from you that matters. Many people let a little go out over each paycheck so they don't get surprised or not spend money they may owe later. It's safe. Typically more is taken out than needed. Others (like me) hold onto that money so we can make money (invest). So in this case, since I never committed any money, I always "owe".

Either way, if I owe 7,500, then with this I owe 0. If I owe 10k, I instead owe 2.5k. Of I owe 5K, I owe 0, and miss out on the other 2.5k.

It just takes away a MAX of 7.5K from what you owe IRS. So your not getting money, you just do t have to pay it. Seems like your given money, especially when you prepay your taxes.
You post needs to be pinned, minus the comment about not knowing how to do your taxes, which was a bit uncalled for tbh. Some of us know how to do our taxes, but are fed lies (even by the first two pages on this thread) that this deal is about getting $7500 cash back from your tax return, which is not true. Hence, the questions about which is true. The consensus now seems to be exactly what you posted. Thank you.

What is a tax credit? Would this credit add up your refund with your IRS refund during tax time?

So I just saw on their website that the California CRVP rebate is increasing to $7500 Feb. 28th for those that are low income. This in addition to the federal $7500 makes the RWD model 3 an amazing deal for those who qualify: $28,990. I believe you can take delivery before they increase the CVRP rebate; as long as you submit the application after the rebate increases you should get the increased amount. Have placed an order. Unfortunately, even though these tax rebates are subsidizing car purchases for the rich at the expense of tax payer dollars, if you don't take advantage you are also missing out (and paying for other people's EVs).

Lol conveniently ignored the insurance comparison I sent earlier I see Smilie

And yes, shockingly enough, I did own an e46, then an f30 and then a G20 3 series.

Not one of them gave me any kind of trouble. Those BMWs were ROCK solid all the way I owned then 8+ years.

You just want to troll, I am done responding anyways.

If I run a quote, you will say it is anecdotal. If I give you averages, it's random sites. It's clear you a troll so you can believe whatever you want to.

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 :-)
Maybe true, won't know until 8+ years out. However, plenty of Model S from as far back as 2012. How many crazy battery replacement stories have we seen? A few, but definitely not a huge wave. I recall a few duds like one cell or module going bad and a huge repair bill and I've seen some taxi services with ultra high mileage Tesla S needing new battery and motors. I haven't seen anything along the lines of regular drivers with huge bills at any rate higher than ICE cars.

They wrote detailed right factual information which I was happy to accept. You seem to have trouble composing basic sentences and never learned how to punctuate it seems. There is a vast difference between those people and you lol. 14 rep shows your class. Ok, I'm done talking to you lol, can't come down to your level.

Quote from IndigoMagic8266 :
Just wait 3 months, Elon burned his owner base and turned TESLA into MAGA, demand is dropping heavily and Elon is learning MAGA doesn't buy electric cars, rather roll some coal. So prices will continue to drop in the near future along with the stock price if he can't keep his mouth shut. Also as noted in some comments, the current vehicles use 100% cameras and no lidar or any sort of radar to actually measure distance. It's caused enough accidents that they are going to incorporate some type of radar to actually measure distance rather than relying 100% on cameras. Tesla has an accident issue that not may talk about, but there are a large number of lawsuits, but like Elon, they won't roll over and will fight the lawsuits to the end, they have more money than the estates of the deceased.
It's crazy how MAGA hates Tesla's yet they love Elon. Anyways, I hope Tesla is forced to install LiDAR/radar/whatever into their cars that don't have them as a result of the lawsuits.
