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)

Line 24 on your 1040. The $7500 credit offsets that number 1:1 up to $7500.



Man you say a lot of easily proven false stuff.

Why is that?





Ah- you're a Toyota shareholder mad they missed the boat on EVs.

Gotcha
yea it makes sense now with the hybrid shilling

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?
No, that's not what he/she means. If your federal tax liability is >= $7,500, you will get the entire amount. Doesn't matter what your current witholdings are set at. If your fed tax liability is $7,500+, you will get the full amount. The Roth IRA conversion stuff is for people's who tax liability isn't quite high enough - there's ways around that for them to meet the threshold.

u need to owe the federal government 7.5k to get the full credit.

Let say you owe them 7.5k in 2023, but through out the year you have paid 8.5k. That means that when you apply the credit of 7.5k. They will refund you the 8.5k you have paid.

Where (website or links) can I find Model Long Range below $55k? Beyond 200 miles from where I live? I set my zip code and 200 mile range and all I found were $55,500 or above.

You cannot get one.
Tesla offered that as a 1-time credit for taking delivery of the Model-3 or Model-Y between Dec 15th and Dec 31st.

Most of the electricity in the US as you know it comes from gas and coal, so for this to ecologically make sense, you would need to have solar panels or have a nuclear/windmill and other electricity sources. On top of that, as usual, you need to drive your car a certain amount of miles to compensate for the battery.
Electric cars being promoted as ecological options in the US I'd say is a lie until most energy is "green". Lots of people probably buy this because it's a nice car, it probably saves them a little money on gas and if they have solar panels they can store part of the electricity produced.

If things were done properly, to get the tax credit, you'd need to prove your electricity source.

To very honest with you. I bought a 2020 Model Y LR MSRP was a little less then $51k. Only option I got was the Grey metallic paint. Plus no sales tax and $5000 cash back rebate on top. Even with the rebate factored in the car is still way over priced. Build quality is bad compared to German cars in the same price range. Alot of gaps and material quality is not up to par. Heat and AC went bad after a month. Car was in service for over 2 months before they could get the parts to repair my car. Even at $45k USD, which is what it costs in China it's still not worth it. This car should be in the low $40k to begin with. Also the range is false. The car can't get over 300 miles on a full charge based on how you have to use heat or AC when driving. One last most important thing is the car will loose 10% of range after 1 year no matter even if you don't use the supercharger and slow charge at home and only top up to 90% charge as advised by Tesla. FYI I am a early tesla stock investor so I do want the company to grow and prosper but it needs to fix all the issues with the car.
I've heard some horror stories as well, but I have to think this is the exception vs the rule with the number of cars I see around in the bay area and how fast they were picking up in the chicago metro before we moved.

I can imagine parts taking a while since it's not like they will stock parts with the intent on profiting on their sale like other manufacturers.

I wouldn't say the materials are inferior to the german cars, because this isn't gm build quality or american build quality but on par with good japanese quality imo. And I own cars in all these categories so it's been easy to compare.

Range is always about how you drive the car--just like a gasoline car. When I took the wife's m3 up to 127mph recently for about 5 minutes, it ate 7% of charge in that run. But that's no different than what my corvette does at the same speed.

I bought stock in the company as well once I see they're going to be around one way or another, and while they do have business challenges, almost every company has similar challenges because business models have changed where such issues are non-issues anymore for some reason.

no thanks
Overpriced is the only truth in your statement. And that too because similar or better EV cars are available for a lower cost.

if you are eligible for tax credit you would be able to claim $7500 with your 2023 Tax which will bring the price of Model Y LR to $45,490.
Does the $55k threshold count for Subtotal or Total?

If you're thinking about getting an EV, this is the time to pull the trigger. The model Y is amazing. Depending on where you live and how much electricity costs, you'll save a LOT on transportation, especially if you charge at home. Not to mention there's almost no maintenance, and insurance is pretty cheap through tesla (especially if you're a good/safe driver).
