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)

Quote from AlpineM3 :
I currently owe the IRS from last years filing about $9000. So if I buy a Tesla, can I apply the $7500 to my past due IRS balance?
I don't think so. IRS won't refund this tax credit. It will only deduct $7,500 from your tax liability when you file your taxes after Jan. 2024 for tax year 2023.

NEW 2023 MODEL 3s DO NOT HAVE ULTRASONIC SENSORS. Due to this, they no longer have the Summon, Smart Summon, or Parking Features of FSD.

My MVPA lists FSD as paid, and there were no acknowledgments or anything that informed you of this prior to purchase. Yes, these features are "coming soon" but that has been the case since October. I use summon almost daily, and to not have a very expensive feature, with no estimated time of arrival, I am furious.

What recourse do owners have that their cars do not match their MVPA? There must be a law that you can return something when it doesn't match the receipt.

Oh, hey, that's the exact same day I picked up mine... lol. For the most part, I've made peace with it. I was reading about how since last week, recent Tesla car buyers in China have been protesting because they're in the same position we are, as Tesla dropped prices on their cars in China. I've been thinking about it, and although it sucks that I missed out on saving ~$12,000, I was happy when I bought it at the price I paid, and I should be happy now.


Take care,
Tofu Vic
I took delivery in October. Car still has only 231 miles on. We didn't get the price cut, nor free miles, and the tax credit. Come to think we could have saved $20500 for the very same car made me sick to the stomach.

Thank You! I was waiting for Lexus RZ to come out and just pull the trigger on Model Y Metallic Silver in NJ. I think I am going to have to delete Slickdeal after this purchase as I can't do anymore impulse buying on small stupid stuffs.

Oh don't just yet. Whoever pulled the trigger will now discuss their delivery dates, preferred accessories, charger installations, local tax rebates. This thread will be kicking for months. Smilie

Got a Model Y last year, best car I ever had. I have the full self driving, it's really something else! Gets a bad wrap but it does work incredibly well 99.9 percent
The problem is the one time it doesn't work well and causes an accident

This sucks. I am in a similar boat. I bought a model Y in December with the 3750 credit and 10,000 supercharger miles. Is there any way to make Tesla price match or a way to return the vehicle?

Are you able to add the Enhanced Auto Pilot after taking delivery of the car?
Yes, directly from the car or app too. It's actually better to do it this way since you can use a credit card, earning cash back/miles/rewards etc.

No sales tax for NJ, plus 2000 charge up instant credit. My model Y Long Range ended up being 48k otd (after tax credits of course)
Is your expected delivery date a range of Jan-Mar? If it gets delayed more than March, will you lose the $250 deposit? Thx in advance
