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)

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.
That's hilarious. Frivolous lawsuits are filed against companies all the time in hopes of a settlement to make it go away at least. Going to court is expensive, no one really wants that.

And,,bad negotiating at a legacy dealer is completely different from a manufacturer dropping the price of its products less than a month after running a major promotion that ends up costing people $15K more, as mentioned in this thread.

Thankfully this nonsense of yours has been debunked so often a quick google saves everyone lots of time

Just the top 5 hits all showing even a 100% coal grid powering EVs is cleaner than gasoline cars.

Because, again, central power plants are MUCH more efficient than distributing your power plants into individual gas engines that waste most of their fuel as heat instead of powering the car.

And of course nearly 80% of US power comes from cleaner sources than coal.

But Tesla quite notoriously never settles suits like that.

So no lawyer is dumb enough to waste their own money on this knowing it'll only cost them and get nothing in return since there's no legal basis for a suit. Not even the pretense of one.

Over the last 10 years I've taken dozens of test drives of most major brands. Averaged $50 each time. Then the scamdemic ruined everything! You must be new to Slickdeals.

Is lease or own better deal for Y? Is lease eligible for Federal credit?

Look at line 24 of your 1040.

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






FWIW Tesla is not build to order- when you order a specific config the system first tries to match you to something already in inventory (or already being shipped from the factory somewhere). If there's a match you'll get a pretty quick delivery date. If there's not your wait will be longer-- how much longer depends when the factory does the next batch that matches your order (since it's faster to do a batch of similar cars at a time than different ones each build)





Withholding is totally irrelevant to qualifying for the credit or not
so If I get a refund at the end of the year and line 24 says $22000 how do I gwt the $7500 credit?

We just went over this like 2 pages ago.

With a lease the lease company gets the tax credit. They may or may not pass it on to the lease holder- you'd need to check that first.

Also Tesla won't let you buy the car after the lease, so if you planned to that won't work for you.

Buying is usually better unless you have an otherwise really good reason to lease (like you get a business write off or something)

You list it on your 1040 in the schedule 3 line and it reduces that $22000 by $7500.

If you otherwise would get a refund anyway, this would increase your refund by another $7500.

no, back to your Honda
Jokes aside (since I had to look at price for other vehicles to see if this indeed is a good deal)

The 200 hp hybrid CR-V is 40k without options
The elite pilot is 52k without options
and gr corolla is 36k

so going with Honda or Toyota over Tesla only if you are rich

I learned a lot about cars by doing this. I know how different models handle and which cars are crap. Average Joe don't know squat. My buddy was a car salesman and he agrees.
