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)

The worst of both worlds. You get horrible EV performance combined with a crappy combustion engine and all the added maintenance that comes with it. I'd rather JUST stick to ICE if I had the option between PHEV or ICE.
2nd this.

No. Tesla is not passing the $7500 tax credit for leasing. If they do then that will be an instant credit not that you apply in 2024 tax return. Very few manufacturers give you credit on lease. E.g Jeep 4xe plug in hybrid
Thanks. And not to sound like a total dunce, but you get it if you finance too, in full the first year (so 2024 tax return would include the 7500 even if only started making payments this year for five years)? Thanks again

We've been in a recession. Next comes the depression.
CPI already clearly shows taming inflation and has for months. As services driven inflation tames the fed will pause and , if necessary, reverse. It will get worse but I don't see even 2009 levels of recession.

In the state of Washington I think the law is 72 hours you can rerun the vehicle after purchase.

So, what happened to the deal in December? Can they return, rebuy, or anything?
I thought I missed it, now I'm lucky I missed it.

It's funny to think people like this were "environmentalist" and all about the cause until their political feathers get ruffled. But good for you, stand your ground and don't buy an EV or a mega corp running dirty ICE engines. Back to horses... Wait the animal rights...

Note: CEO to Ford gm and Walmart donated to the bad elephant people...I guess you won't be buying EV from them or shopping at big blue either.
What's funny to me is that you assumed that anyone saying they now refuse to buy from Tesla because of political views is a tree-hugger. There are some of us who had considered buying a Tesla because of gas prices. I now would not consider the Tesla because of (not only) Musk's views, but also because I keep reading about the quality control issues Tesla continues to have/hide. Furthermore, even if it was just as you say, why does it bother you so much that you start talking about "people like this"? Everyone doesn't have to think like you or explain to you as I chose to do.

Ive never looked into these tax credits, but now that the OP posted the details - If you quality for the tax credit (AGI filing), you cant afford this, or at least are not in a position financially that should purchase a $50k+ vehicle.

NOT a good deal
Tesla jacked up their prices on all models like 10K each

Model Y true price is about 43K.
Who is buying it right now is being ripped off. 2023 will be a very bad year for Tesla. All their models will drop off at least 10K from the current price.

If you buy it now you will regret

50K for a car ? That's not saving gas !

Model Y true price 40K
Model 3 = 30K

Buy it now if you like Tesla to rip you off.

There is no cooling off period in WA. Once you sign the contract the car is yours and you can't return it.

Question: If someone buys 2 Tesla's, do they qualify for 2x7500 tax credit?
Is it one tax credit per tax-return or one per vehicle?
Just curious.
