Who Qualifies
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.
To qualify, you must:
Buy it for your own use, not for resale
Use it primarily in the U.S.
In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

The sale qualifies only if:
You buy the vehicle new
The seller reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.
Sellers are required to report your name and taxpayer identification number to the IRS for you to be eligible to claim the credit.
The new law requires the POS (Dealer or manufacturer) to report a bunch of information on the buyer to the IRS.
Such as:
Seller/Dealer name and taxpayer ID number
Buyer's name and taxpayer ID number
Maximum credit allowable under IRC 30D for new vehicles or IRC 25E for previously owned vehicles
Vehicle identification number (VIN), unless the vehicle is not assigned one
Battery capacity
Date of sale
Sale price
For new vehicles, verification that the buyer is the original user

Summary of February 28, 2023 updates:
……
In addition to the standard CVRP rebate, consumers with household income less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount of $5,500 (previously $2,500) for BEVs and PHEVs, and $3,000 (previously $2,500) for FCEVs. This amounts to:
……….$7,500 for battery-electric vehicles (previously $4,500)

B Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.

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.

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'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)

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.
Seat belt pre-tensioners are in all new cars, even shitty econoboxes have them. EDIT: Tesla uses the same pre-tensioners as everyone else. They are activated by an explosive charge via an impact sensor.
Source for the preemptive airbag deployment? That is completely unnecessary. Do you understand how an airbag works?
clean cars for the poor with junk removal $9500
tax credit 7500
cvrp 2000+additional $5500 for the poors
math it yourself
what's clean car for the poor?
Sales were up 32.4% year over year.
Everything in the top 5 sales were DOWN year over year.

In November of 2022 the "stale" Model Y became the best selling car... of any kind.. in Europe-

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
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.
I do wonder about backlash though. I'm not sure anything like this has happened before, where you could buy a popular car for over $20000 less* that it would have cost you a couple of weeks prior.
*including the tax credit that it is now eligible for.
Wonder if they are trying to get rid of all the models without radar before release models with new radar sensors.

Tesla was offering a $7500 knock-off in late December, so it's "only" the 13k price cut that is net cheaper here.... (and for those who don't qualify for the new tax credit, the price gap between getting the 7500 off and the 13k price cut is even smaller, about 5.5k)
But as I mention, gaps in the 5-10k range in price are common even the same day at legacy dealers. Back when I got my Lexus I paid about 10k under MSRP, but I'm sure some other sucker paid sticker price..... not to mention especially the last 1-2 years legacy dealers were commonly marking cars up 10-20k (or more!) higher than msrp

That's a dealer who added -100 percent- to the price of an F-150 EV for example.
At least with Tesla you know everybody paid the same price you did on the same day, even if it could change tomorrow.

Do you?
Because pre-triggering the bag has been found to be highly effective in improving performance. Here's a study from the NHTSA website
https://www-esv.nhtsa.dot.g
significantly before the collision arises remarkable
potential for the reduction of the injury risk of the
frontal car occupant
