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)

Adjusted Gross Income Limitations
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
Is there a phase out or if your income is $1 over the limit you lose the full credit?

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

Why didn't they put Model Y Pro at 55k to take advantage of this program? seems like a missed opportunity.

Highly recommend if you're considering a Tesla (or any car for that matter) that you rent one for a week or two and make sure you like it. Personally did this with a Tesla in the past and I'm glad I did, because it just wasn't the car for me I decided.

Honestly I'm shocked folks make such a big purchase like a car with just a single test drive, or in the case of Tesla's that you might order online, no test drive at all! Make sure you really like the car, rent one for a couple weeks and see how it feels!
Most of my friends who have one swear by it... I'm sure some of them are telling the truth but I wonder if some really don't like the car, are in denial, and/or are pretending that it's the best thing since sliced bread. Perhaps it's the honeymoon phase, especially with owning a Tesla, where you only see the best and overlook all the faults... wait, what faults? lol

One of my friends keeps saying its the best EV there is out there... nothing else can compare. *shrug* the problem is that there really arent a ton of other options....so maybe that's true but maybe that just means that it's not the best time to buy either? not sure i like the idea of being a captive customer...

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.
burning a pound of coal emits 2.07 pounds of CO2.
19.6 pounds of CO2 produced from burning a gallon of gasoline
It seems coal stays on top for that aspect (as the car on top would need about 24 pounds of coal and the alternative around 1.5 gallons of gasoline.
As there are many other substances emitted from both the comparison would take time.
Anyways it's not from your sources I'll believe anything.
The brute data is more factual.

I guess in the eyes of the federal government, households earning more than 300K don't add to pollution and aren't incentivized to purchase an EV. 911 it is, baby.

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.
Holy sh!t that mileage is AWESOME!! My dumb minivan gets 320 miles w/ 20 gal and the SUV also gets 320 miles w/ 16 gal (but takes Premium sighhhh)

you have to be low income, buy from a dealer and I think max price is like $25000 so you are looking at used Leaf or Bolt
EVs are not for low income people or families.
