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)

Except best in class infotainment system and top notch speaker, one of biggest back seat legroom and one of fastest acceleration. But go on, keep hating. Instead of thread crap why not just move along. We get it. You like your loud obnoxious ice dinosaur car.
Top notch speaker ? LOL

Let's be honest. They are only cutting prices because the demand sucked. You guys know model Y is like $33k in China.

I just took delivery of my BMW M240i last Friday. Total price out the door is a little over $62k. I was always in the market for a Tesla model 3 long range/performance but they have been increasing price constantly in the last year. If they could just announce this price cut a week ago last Friday or earlier, I can just simply cancel my order even after my car was built(no deposit needed at the BMW dealer). Sigh. Just no luck with Tesla car.

You can. Just a bit PIA. There's one thing you won't get I forgot which one. I think in car karaoke? Could be wrong. But yeah you don't need it. It's just convenient.
If you use your phone's wifi hotspot for your data connection, the only thing you won't get are satellite imagery for the nav, and traffic info on the nav. Everything else (karaoke, streaming music, etc.) will still be the same.

Model Y is worth about 40K. Anything buying at this price need to have their brain check. Tesla raised their models over the years and now lowering them because they could not sell that's why their stock went down so much. They will drop much much much more.
And you are wrong. It's worth what market decides, and looks like 45k after IRA model Y is impossible to beat at this price range.

Wait, your friends were screaming because of the interior/exterior?!? lmao you have lame friends.
Well as long as you're being a tool, yeah one of them was. He's a huge video game fan and freaked out when I demo'd beach buggy racing 2, sonic and cuphead.

I get it though, your friends are super impressed by your corolla's buttons and vent knobs. Those are pretty kewl, ngl.

Don't jump for joy... don't order anything for another month and watch for other manufacturers drop their prices too.

Hugh win for the consumers when Tesla has so much excess capacity with 2 big price drops within 2 months.

Even with the discount ton available on the website. Just tells you the demand isn't there for this anymore. I will say more price cuts coming.
Elon isn't a smart ceo that's why the stock tanked so much. He raised models 3 and Y over the years because of greed. Look a normal working family WILL NOT buying a 50K tesla. This is for rich people

Who will buy 50K tesla when gas is cheap now ?

People gonna be pissed in a few months when the new 3 and Y come out to replace the stale 7 year old designs they are selling now. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Please clarify for me as I've read different answers
I usually get a tax return of around $2000. Do I get 2000+7500?
Or I'd need to owe the IRS 7500 to maximize the credit?
