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)

Why does everyone keep subtracting 7500 from the price. A TAX CREDIT lowers your taxable income. So you'll save whatever percentage you're at on the federal tax table OF 7500. So If you're at 28% you'll get $2,100 and that assumes you already have more than the $13K standard deduction to
Nope. A deduction reduces your taxable income (as in the standard deduction you referenced). A credit is like a gift card you use against your tax liability.

This is incorrect.

What you are talking about is a tax deduction.

I agree, they are not apples to apples, and that the Y is a much better car, but you're also talking about spending 60k which most people cannot, and 17k which many can easily.
Its not 60k. 53k minus 7.5k Tax credit. Whats the point if the cheaper vehicle can burn down your home?

Rather than buying the vehicle, buy the stock. It's down 50% in 6 months. It was at $407 Nov 2021 and is sitting at $122 now.

No, no, and no. 7500 comes off your tax liability, not taxable income. It's not that complicated.

One thing I learn today, regardless how you feel about the deal, is that there should be a mandatory tax literacy class taught in school. It's scary some of the things I am reading here today…

Looking to get the MYP. i won't be able to get the $7,500 and i may not even qualify. Not really sure, but want the P. Should I wait until March?

Also anyone have a list of rebates for SoCalifornians? Also looking at the wall connector charger. Thoughts?

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.
Depends heavily on how much your electric bill is.

My EV costs the equivalent of $1.25/gal to drive. But it's unique to my situation.

I pay $0.15/kWh and the EV averages about 3.0 miles/kWh. So 0.15/3.0 = $0.05/mile.

For gasoline cars, assume $3.5/gal and average of 25mpg. So, 3.5/25 = $0.14/mile.

With the assumption above, my EV costs about 35.7% of my gasoline car. Given $3.5/gal, that's about $1.25/gal.

Take the same approach as above and plug in numbers for your situation.

Obviously if you're paying $0.45/kWh as in some areas, or if gas prices continue to drop, then EVs may not make much sense. Also, hybrids and PHEVs costs less to drive per mile so those are actually quite good to own from an economic sense.

Won't gas will be more cheaper with more Ev adoption. More Ev will make less demand for gas

This is going to sound dumb, but is there a way to increase my tax liability so that this tax credit would actually benefit me?
So, what you're saying is you want to pay the government more so you can feel like you are getting a discount?
If your tax liability is truly this low, you're already getting the real discount.
