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)

Quote from Tri1914 :
Do you know tesla model 3 get 133 mpg(e), which is 3.5x whatever youre getting.
50 Kwh on the model 3 get you 270 miles.
I get 550+ miles on a tank of gas (15 gallon).

50 Kwh in my area is roughly 17.5 dollars (35 cents a kw). but you need to 2X it to get the same range as my tank of gas. so that's 35 bucks.

My tank of gas costs me some where between 60 to 70 dollars..

So 2X... not sure where the 3.5X is coming from.

Also my car costs 20k, the model 3 is maybe 45k?

how long do you think it takes to drive 25k worth of gas in my car? it would take me 178k miles to cover the 25k difference in gas money. By that time it cost the Tesla another 11.5k of electric. Make sure the tesla get to 178k miles lol. And yes my car is also a little bigger than that model 3... the model 3 is tiny.

Probably from the majority of the county not paying your insane electricity rates.


Average nationally is about 1/3rd what you pay for power.

Folks with ToU plans are like 5-15 times cheaper than your rate to charge their EVs.

My ToU plan was 2.29 cents per kwh overnight for example.

it cost about $2.30 to drive 300 miles... so about $4.50 to go further than you go on $70.

Try your time to save 16k math on that.

Then also add in the cost of the maintenance your car needs the Tesla will not (oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, belt changes, significantly more frequent brake pad replacement, etc)

Just over 36k with the tax credit for the model you called out at the start of your post.

Of course it does a lot of other things yours can't (or does them better like performance) too.

A 1989 CRX would get better mileage than you do and cost far less than 20k but presumably there's a reason you don't drive one Smilie

Quick note that the income limit is based on modified AGI or MAGI. There is a difference between AGI and MAGI:

Good catch!

Unlike your AGI, your MAGI doesn't appear on your annual tax return.

Calculating MAGI
To calculate your MAGI, add certain adjustments back to the AGI total to determine whether you are able to take full advantage of tax perks. Some of the most common adjustments used to arrive back at your MAGI include:
Tuition-related costs or deductions
Losses from rental properties
Half of the self-employment tax you paid during the tax year
Student loan interest

Very tempting. Ill be in this market sometime early Summer this year, so hopefully the prices have dropped a little by then and the credit is still available.

Quote from FuschiaMagic996 :
Whats people opinions on buy vs lease given the lower and incentive?
Lease is better unless you plan on keeping the car for a long time. Economics here is that Tesla is pricing it correctly at effectively 5.5% interest rate and residual of $40K (pre- price reduction residual).

I was literally 2 hours away from completing the deal on an ID.4 this morning settling for a 2022 Pro S real wheel after my ordered 2023 didnt arrive before Dec 31 to get tax credit. I fail the MAGI test. Anyway I call VW dealer and tell him i am not going through because Tesla just lowered the price and after running the numbers it is clear that the lease is giving credit for the rebate as claimed by Tesla. Model Y Long Range 54k. 8000 down $505 a month for 36 months.

He calls me back says VW just announced they will give credit for rebate in a lease. He runs the numbers same down. $500 for 39 months for 2022 rear wheel Pro S and $627 a month for AWD 2023 Pro S. Both Tesla and VW gave credit for NJ rebate of $2k. Order Tesla and will pick up Monday!

p.s. I am an Actuary, ran the numbers and is as good as a buy if i could get a rebate with less committed.

cringe part is where some bozo who's not in tax bracket thinking he can afford a 50k car when he doesn't realize its sub 50k after credits and rebates.. LOL.. u take L that fast?
Bud you aren't even forming complete sentences. Also once again you need to have the federal tax liability to be able to take advantage of said credits. Also once again trying to say I cannot afford a 50k car when pretty much anyone could lol. That's like 500 a month.
