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)

Dumbest question may b but let me try - Do Tesla price match if they drop the prices in 30 days. Those who took in Mid December like me it's a big difference 15k. What options do we have in all seriousness.
Tesla cut prices in China and Europe too, and some of customers who bought at higher prices were furious and demanding refunds for the difference. I imagine that will happen in the US as well, with just as much success (none).

But, being that this is America, there will also certainly be class action lawsuits to make a few lawyers rich. If you're a lawyer, that's your opportunity.

If you care about safety of your kids (teenage driver) or your family, I really strongly suggest you drive a Tesla. I'm half joking and half not. I see so many accidents with fatalities that could've been prevented had it been a Tesla. Forget about all other features. Safety is top priority and Tesla is no question number 1 in that category. Make sure you watch some NTHSA or Euro NCAP crash test on YouTube to compare. You would be amazed.

Do you know:
- your Tesla will preemptive tighten seat belt if it senses crash that's inevitable. That is better to brace your body for impact which results in less severe injury
- your Tesla will preemptive deploy airbag if it sense crash is inevitable, again reduce impact and body injury.

Both of these features came with over the updates just last few months. Show me another manufactures can improve safety of your car through these updates. No one can do this.

This is America; you can sue about anything. Doesn't mean you'll win, but guaranteed there will be lawsuits from pissed off people, as always.

ice trade in is plummeting due to impending carvana bankruptcy.. tesla will give u fraction of what current market private buyers will pay


elon basically hit the reset button to equalize the car market right now.. other automakers with ev are now in a very bad position.. tesla 3 starting at 43k and mylr at 53k before incentives.... hard to beat
Thanks I may take the ICE car to carmax or sell it locally.

I also found this in regards to my first question about the outlets I have
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tvy2NL8uY0

How much on average does it cost to get the wall connector professionally installed by electrician if the Outlet is already there ?

Placed an order on M3P after the wife approved. Anyone have details on the wall charger? I did not purchase it part of my order and will either try to get it at delivery or afterwards. My Questions are

I have 2 x 240V (50A) NEMA 14-50R outlets in my garage already.
It was installed by electrician when my home was built.

Since I have the outlet what professional installation needs to be done for the wall charger?
Are there any better wall chargers that the Tesla one or do you recommend the Tesla wall charger looking for Level2 charging as minimum.

Lastly has anyone tried trade in their ICE car to Tesla?
Get a JuiceBox with nema 14-50 plug, no extra professional installation required besides hanging it on the wall. I mean you can buy the wall charger if you'd like but that requires an electrician to hardwire it directly to your breaker box and making no use of your existing 14-50 outlets. JuiceBox has a 40amp version of the charger, gets over 35 miles of charger per hour

I suggest getting the Mobile Connector which does not need installation and since you have NEMA 14-50 outlets you won't have issues for your daily commutes

Sales were up 32.4% year over year.

Everything in the top 5 sales were DOWN year over year.

No, it couldn't, since FSDb doesn't work in parking garages.

Though as we saw from the dude who intentionally drove his Tesla off the cliff, you'd probably survive even if it did Smilie

No, there won't. Lawyers only file suits there's at least SOME legal basis for. There's none here- and 0 money to be had for the lawyers.

Hell at legacy dealers some people pay thousands more for the same car the same day as someone else because they don't negotiate as well.
