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)

I got to drive in a Tesla Model Y a few years ago. Still talk about it to this day.

Quote from DaveyMikes :
Why does everyone keep subtracting 7500 from the price. I thought 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
Tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction in the amount you owe. This is not a deduction to AGI.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the repeated claims in this thread that Tesla's sales are dropping, there is no demand, nobody wants to buy them, etc.

Are these people being paid to post this B.S.? Y'all know that their year-over-year sales growth for Q4 2022 vs Q4 2021 was ~30%, right? On top of prices being ~25% higher in Q4 2022 than they were in Q4 2021?

Pretending the fact their production is finally getting closer to catching up with demand is somehow a bad thing is unbelievably stupid and disingenuous.
A lot of car companies are making record profits but the difference is Tesla did not meet the goal it projected for this year.

Growth is lower than expected. That's the bottom line. That and the fact the rest of the electric car industry has caught up with Tesla. The stock has plummeted. It's down over 20% in the last month, nearly 50% in the last 6 months, and 65% in the last year. Stock was at $384 a share last April, it's now at $122 a share.

Growth being lower than expected certainly impacts the stock price, but industry-wide economic factors are the key driver of that. GM is down 40% over the last year, Ford 50%, VW 39%, which all sound much worse than Tesla's 65% drop when you consider none of the rest of them were coming off an 1100% gain across 2020 and 2021.

Regardless, growth being lower than analysts' arbitrary predictions has no correlation at all to demand when the existing demand still has not been met, and growth comes entirely from the growing production capacity of their 2 new factories.

I do agree that it's a great time to buy the stock—as much as I'd like to buy a M3P now with the price drop, the shares are an even better deal.

Who has not received the VIN yet for a custom order? What time did you place the order? I placed the order 2 pm cst no VIN yet.
You get the VIN near the end of the buying process, basically when your vehicle is nearing delivery.

Radar was long gone. For close proximity, software is coming out soon in the next update. In 1-2 weeks.
Btw no car manufacturers will let you return once you walk out the door, this is not buying iPhone.
Sounds like you were long Tesla stock, sorry for you loss, I was short at just under 400. Maybe acknowledge what they did was wrong and unwise, then you can start recouping your losses, should take about decade, I locked in my gain when I covered my short position.

I hope everyone who ordered one do know Tesla has removed all ultrasonic (parking assist) sensor (USS). The radar which Tesla is planning to add it back is not related to parking at all and there is ONLY ONE radar which is most likely facing forward and is used by AP, EAP, or FSD while driving.

Without USS, instead, replacing with ALL-VISION-ONLY, at least so far, in the latest firmware update, there is NO WARNING, whatsoever, when you are parking your car in a tight spot.

I am hoping by removing USS, Tesla is planning to provide a 360-degree view (you can also say this is an ALL-VISION solution) soon. Otherwise, you are going to see a flood of complaints on TWTR showing all kinds of incidents/damages caused by NOT having USS for all new Tesla cars.

Well, I never thought slick deals would be the place I first get tipped off on buying a CAR. But here I am.

Admittedly I dragged my feet all day, even when there was local stock I could've reserved. Once I saw NPR reporting in it I figured if this was something I was going to do, I should do it before everyone catches wind and orders get pushed out a year or something else silly.

State of MA upped their refund to $3500 so long as the vehicle is under $55000 too, so that's a pretty nice overall discount. Now we wait to be assigned a VIN.
I am wondering if my son who is college student in MA can get this $3500?
Thanks for suggestions!

The income cap is real.
Most single people who can afford a $55K car make more than 150K. But not wealthy enough to ignore the $7.5K ev tax credit. So I am thinking Tesla will reduce the price even more in the future to attract this group of buyers. Just my two cents

You can say that about almost all of the tech stocks in the last year.
