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 you have a family and make under those qualifying income parameters, a car at this price does not make much sense. spending more than you should for your income limits.
Having 299k AGI isn't enough to buy a 50k vehicle??

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?
7500 is "tax credit" and non-refundable if you don't own IRS any money then you won't get 7500

Also, ask yourself why Tesla has basically revitalized the wrap and paint protection film industry… the local shop here says most of his business is Tesla… make sure to budget for that.

Top notch speaker ? LOL
Actually that is true with one specific caveat. IF you have sunshades to address reverberation and smearing from the glass roof, then the speaker placement, imaging, and overall response is truly excellent at its price point.

Quote from AmusedBird7589 :
Let's be honest. They are only cutting prices because the demand sucked. You guys know model Y is like $33k in China.
EXACTLY
There ISN'T DEMAND for electric cars right now

Gas price went down

A "normal" working family will NOT spend 50K to buy the electric car to "save" gas when the can get other new cars much much cheaper. If you have 50K to pour out good for you but for the rest of working americans I don't think they will fork out 50K just to "save" gas.

You need to have tax LIABILITY for the entire year of at least $7500. What you owe or get as a refund at the end of the year when you file your taxes has no bearing on the credit. As long as you have to pay at least $7500 in taxes across the entire year you will get the credit.

If I qualified for the tax credit, the model Y would be very appealing. Unfortunately no credit available for me. Also the chevy BOLT is available with tax credit and recently had a similar price drop. You can get it for ~17k if you can find one without a mark up (after tax credit).

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.
BMW > TELSA

Tesla is boring man. The car has NO soul.

go back to 2021 tax paper... look at line 24 see if its more than 7500$. atleast that much to maximize the credit. and this is regardless of your withheld that you set up with W4 form.

You realize both the 3 and Y are small cars, right?
I own a Tesla model 3, it's a sedan not a compact. The model Y is not small, what are you smoking

I think if income is above $100k, you can buy a $50k car if all your other liability is like what normal people have.
