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)

Any prediction on price say in June or July? I need a new vehicle by then to replace my 16 yr old Toyota. It still runs great but it has high milage and if/when it does break down, it will really mess up our daily schedule that we don't have time for. Thanks!
If you generally hold your cars for long, these will need a new battery which can run into 20k replacement cost.
They generally last 1500 charge cycles.

A new Tesla battery and drive unit warranty covers two things:

Length of time or miles driven (eight years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles driven, depending on the model), whichever comes first
A guaranteed battery capacity of 70 percent of its starting capacity during the warranty period

When it says $7500 back if you have at least $7500 "tax due", does that take into account what you have withheld on your W2? For example, if have $8000 in fed income taxes, but have withheld $7000 from paychecks during the year, so really only $1000 still due the IRS, do they use the original $8000 due to see if you qualify for $7500 back, or the $1000 still due?

Are the salary limits hard cut-offs? Or, do they fade out and provide partial credits to households above those thresholds?

Yes… your tax liability for the whole year has to be at least $7500. Doesn't matter if you paid it via employer withholding throughout the year or if you pay it at the end of the year. As long as you have to pay Uncle Sam at least $7500 for the whole year then you can get the credit.

Omg 1.5k comments? They are refreshing both the model 3 and model y according to a few YouTubers. The model Y was over priced at 66k. 50-55k is the right price for it.

Expect to spend about 28000 to replace batteries in 7 yrs. Range decrease in cold weather. Biggest scam
Biggest scam is people like you spouting off non-sense like this. While no doubt there have been battery replacements, it's not like a cell phone where every one will die on queue. You do realize that cars from 2012 are still on the road right? Many which haven't seen ANY 'service' for nearly a decade--that's some serious cost savings.

Next time you read an internet headline maybe actually think about it for a second. The average new car stat came when used cars were selling above what people paid for them. That'll come down and also, majority of households, 70%, do buy used cars. That's all you can do when median household income is $70k. My household income is over $500k and I consider a $60k car expensive. Granted, I spend over $50k a year on vacations each year so it's matter of how much value I place on transportation vehicles. Many people apparently see it as defining their self-esteem.
Again mate, what are you doing here on SD? You should join Elon forum with the rich people.

$8,000 - $7,000 - $7,500 = - $6,500

You get $6,500 tax refund

Don't forget to factor in the 20k - 30k complete battery pack change out in a few years down the road.

If you live in places with cold winter (like I do), I would say these batteries wouldn't even last 5 years, let alone 10 years.

If you live in California, do you think the grid infrastructure can keep up with everybody plugging in their EVs ? People there barely have power on during peak hours (fark PG&E BTW).

Hard pass !

The future of car is hybrid vehicle & plug-in hybrid, not pure ICE cars & definitely not 100% EV cars.

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.
Does that means if e.g. my w-2 witholding is too high and I don't owe any additional payment due tax time (but income cap and tax liability met), I still wouldn't get it?
