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.

Ugh, took delivery of mine in September. $2300 off my price and I had to wait an entire year for delivery. This may be a great way for them to get new customers, but it is really pissing off the old ones. A few friends even bought theirs at +$10k over the new price.
i know copium is kicking in high.. but were you planning to buy tesla at later date without the discount anyways?

Thanks. What are the $55k and $80k limits? Does the purchase price have to exceed the limits?

Only if it's under 55k
Wouldn't the performance model exceed $55k then so it would not qualify?

Save yourself 30k and get a Bolt. Better build quality, a fraction of the price, 90% of the features, just slower and 15% less range.
Much slower! Not just slower.

Would this be good to buy and then flip?
They're pretty heavy so it will be difficult, and you'll probably damage something. I wouldn't recommend it.

Reliability
"We expect the 2023 Bolt will be much less reliable than the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2020 and 2021 models". https://www.consumerreports.org/c...liability/

Max MSRP is 55k for sedans and 80k for SUVs.

Currently the 5-seat Y is classified as a sedan and the 7-seat Y as an SUV.

Note MSRP includes physical options from the factory (like wheels or paint) but NOT software or dealer-installed things (like FSD or homelink) and also does not include things like destination or other fees.... so adding the "does not count" stuff won't impact eligibility.

You really shouldn't be buying a $60-$80k vehicle if household AGI is $300k. That's less than $200k in actual cash flow after fed, state and local taxes.
Is this true? I think the avg new car price tag is like $50k now. $300k annual household income will put you in top 5%. Guess maybe only the top 10% are buying new cars. The rest of us can only afford used ones😅

If I add different colors (exterior and interior), rims, and tow hitch that costs extra, are they factored into the $55k limit? I know that Enhance auto pilot and full self driving is not factor into the limit price.

Quote from utcmk :
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..

one can simply covert your IRA to Roth to pick up more tax liability to hit the 7.5k... it's an easy way to get the full credit. But definitely not money saving lol. I think you need to make around 80k to get the full tax credit.

Federal tax credit applies to LEASING as well as purchase. Great option if you don't have the tax liability to use to rebate.
That's only if the dealer is willing to pass it on to you (i.e., apply it as a credit during the purchase); the lessee--i.e., you--is not allowed to claim it on their tax return since they are not the one who "purchased" the vehicle. The lessor--meaning, the dealer--OTOH can technically claim it since they are the ones who are "purchasing" the vehicle in order to then be able to lease it to the customer. Many if not most dealers are willing to pass along the credit to a leasing customer but they are not absolutely required to do so.

Not exactly the same analogy. If I buy an 8-year-old vehicle and the engine goes I might be out several thousand dollars. I'm not going to be out 20,000.
modern cars in last 8 years engine can be $8-12k plus labor and you may need a new transmission too

I'm looking at both. A fully loaded Bolt EUV is around 38k + tax. the similar spec model Y is 60k... but the model Y is bigger and has a bit more range. as well as some other perks...

So the difference is closer to 10-15k than 30k.

Built quality the Bolt is slightly better. both of these company are firmly on the 10 least reliable brand lol.

yes, the options you are adding that's staying with the car counts toward MSRP. So choose wisely.
