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)

performance 3 does- performance Y does not.

Any factory option counts toward the price cap. Taxes/fees/destination/software do not.




Maybe don't insult others intelligence when you just suggested you'd take out a 100 month car loan to be able to afford the car? LMAO





Tesla has changed what the "free" color is multiple times... it was black only originally... white and MSM cost extra... then MSM was free for a while too... now it's only white and black and MSM cost extra.

Likely one of the reasons they dropped the price on the 3P and YLR down to 52.9k and 53.9k was to leave room to add at least a couple extra paint colors and and stay under 55k
100 month car loans exist and once again 50k isn't a lot of money lol. You fools are looking really dumb thinking you are in some special club owning a basic model Y lol.

No, only order number.

It's funny you keep trying to say I own an ICE car. That came out of nowhere and you really have no way to know that. It makes you continually look dumb to try and position it. You are just full of yourself haha. Also I don't know how you got Tesla's are maintenance free. I drive by a packed service center every day. Oh and where are you getting this mystical free charging from? It's not from Tesla. They stopped that years ago.

This is a tax credit, not a tax deduction.

Deductions come off of your total income, to give you a lower adjusted gross income (IE: you made 100K, but $7,500 deduction makes it an AGI of $92,500).

A tax credit works directly to your tax obligation. IE, you were expecting $3000 back, now you're getting $10,500 back.
I thought if you owed $3000 in federal tax, a 7500 tax credit means you now owe 0, but you don't get the the difference of 4500 as a refund

You're taking out an imaginary car loan that lasts as long or longer than the average person even owns the car for and calling other people fools.

This HAS to be a parody account, right? Applause

Look at line 24 of your 1040.

You get that much back, to a max of $7500.

For the custom order, the estimated delivery timeline is Jan-mar. Are these estimates correct? Based on your experience. Please advise.

I know everyone is pissed that they just bought before a price drop.

I'm kinda pissed that their profit margin/price gouging is so high that they can drop the price this much to take advantage of tax incentives to boost sales.

As fun as an electric car would be, I'll ride my cheap gas suckers into the ground.

You are just full of yourself haha. Also you're to ignorant to see what other manufacture are offering, to blind by ice love and priced out with your low tax bracket. You might try to drive around your city and explore more. theres more to charging station aside from tesla. the world is big. since you're a smart man or woman, you know.. you did pull the grammar police card. use your intelligence and google it yourself and maybe you'll learn something new about who's offering free charging (*hint, its not just tesla)
