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)

But for new purchasers, this year, we would just need to owe $7500+ at the end of the year to get the max credit, correct?
correct, if your income didnt change or increased from 2021 year, then that number is a very good estimate of how much you'll owe for 2023

Is this true? I think the avg new car price tag is like $50k now. $300k annual household income will put you in top 5%. Guess maybe only the top 10% are buying new cars. The rest of us can only afford used ones😅
Most Americans spend WAY to much on their automobiles (as they view it as a reflection of their self image). My personal rule of thumb is with zero debt you shouldn't spend more than 1/3 of your gross income on the total price of your car. So to afford that new $50K car (all in) you should be making at least $150K (which is like top 10%, so yes only 10% should be doing that).

That stat was during a time when used car prices were insane (they have been coming down). Many always buy used, while others either held onto their cars for a while or simply overspent their budgets during this crazy car pricing time.

What repairs do they have that a local repair shop can't do?
It's the body shop repairs that can take a long time, not the regular servicing (which can be done at any shop). I had to replace my windshield (only OEM glass is available, which I like) and it was fast.

For those don't know, and care about safety, which should be number 1 top priority when choosing car for your family. Model Y is rated the highest score ever with European NCAP. You can find a cheaper car, or a more 'luxurious' car whatever that means, but you won't find a safer car than Tesla. I encourage you take a look at Tesla Twitter to see a list of tests it performs. Oh. Not to mention the sicko husband drove his family 250 ft down the cliff and all 4 survived. Try that with any other car. Getting this type of safety at 45k is un unbelievable value.

Model Y in china is about 30K. You are being robbed by Tesla.😏

Model Y china price is $37,775 and there is no tax credits or rebates.

Also if you want to import it to the US you will have to pay 25% Tariffs and ocean freight and local transportation. Which will equal you about same price as here in US

The Model Y is many levels above a Bolt. The car GM said should not be parked near your home due to fire risk.
There was a recall on previous years version but was resolved. Yes Model Y and bolt is no comparison but you do get value for money . I got my EUV 2023 Premier Redline with Super Cruise and Sun and Sound etc for 25712 net after tax credit in NJ.

I am now looking to replace my other ICE car with Model Y and researching on tax credit on cars and seem to find no wording which says you can't get that in IRS notes..
For used cars there seems to be once in 3 years but seems like for new cars its per car as long as you meet tax liability and income limits..

Any information to contrary or suggestion is welcome.

Thanks

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.
Ah, I am about to sell my m235 when I get the delivery. If you have other cars for the family, m240 is a great choice.

Nothing to do with withholding, it's about total taxes owed from taxable income.
That is my thought. Taxes owed is what we should be concerned with, right? The taxes that have been withheld would/should result in a tax return to amount to the $7500? I'm single and below $150K. But still at $120K. That has to result in taxes owed of at least $19,000. So I'm good to go, aren't I?
Obviously, I don't do my own taxes!LMAO
