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)

Wow, those people better take a look at 98% of corporate America jobs and see how many have even close to the benefits they are getting. They are just being brought back to the reality instead of living in a bubble.
Exactly… they can move to his competitors that pay less and never have those benefits in the first place

Most people at Twitter did quit, or were laid off.

Quote from buttonsguy :
Short version, if all other qualifiers are met, you simply need to owe 7500.00 to get credit. If you owe 4000 in taxes, you only get a 4000.00 credit. That being said I would claim as many dependents as possible to make sure I owed enough money to maximize the credit.

Remember, treasury is still writing code for the credit so many things can still change.
Quote from kupop2 :
No, not upfront yet. Plus the tax credit doesn't matter if you owe or get a refund at year end. It's a credit on taxes you owe. If you normally get a small refund you'll get your small refund+7500. Provided you actually have a tax liability of at least 7500 which you should if you work a regular w2 job and make a wage to buy a55k car
Quote from boxturtle :
The tax credit application at time of sale does not start until 2024, so you still have to wait until you file your taxes if you buy an ev this year. It does not matter if you owe taxes at the end of the year or not. What matters is what your tax form shows you owe.

This would make/break the deal for me, so I just wanted to clarify -

So for simplicity sake, if:
-I make 100k
-My W2 form shows 10k fed income withheld
-But I file my taxes at end of year, and RECEIVE a $1000 tax refund

Would I be eligible to receive the additional $7500 (so total +$8500)?


Just checking cause some articles I read last year made it seem like, you only can negate the amount if you owe, but if you receive a tax refund then you get nothing. Seemed like such a weird clause to me...

Yes, same here. If my total tax liability is 10K, do I get 7500 back if I already paid my tax and have no refund?

Still 3k people left. Look around, lay-off everywhere. That's the state of economy. Are you going to boycott every company that does layoff?

File Married, separate in 2023, assuming one of you will make under 150k, and put car in that person's name.
This is exactly what we're going to do. File separately because I work part-time so I fall under the $150k cap. It will be a pain, but worth it for $7.5k.

With all due respect. I'm a highly educated person with a PhD in physics and I personally know Twitter employees. I make informed judgment. I'm also tired hearing rhetorics like "you are only reading what the media want you to read" like we are all idiots. If we don't read media and use our own judgement then we will be only getting our information either from conspiracy or fantasy. If you look at folks who work with you, how many do you think are incompetent? In my case, 80%. Do you think they should all be gone and drive a Uber of deliver food instead? Who is going to consume to keep the economy going? Maybe we do let go a few now and then, but not 70%. This CEO handles his employees like tools, his action is damaging his own business and people who work for him. I won't ask any one to boycott Tesla, but I also want people to know my concern and that I'm not a maniac.

im looking to get the Model 3 Performance. You cannot add the enhanced auto pilot or Full Self Driving without exceeding the 55k cap to the $7500 credit eligibility. Can I add in enhanced auto pilot after I purchased and received my Tesla? Also, if I add enhanced auto pilot, does that add on get reported to IRS and if it does, does it affect the $7500 eligibility?

Quote from warlock110 :
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.
National average for power is 14 cents per kwh. So you're taking an extreme example, and one where you should have already invested in solar panels if you wanted to avoid the energy tax.

Secondly, don't assume you need to break even on a vehicle. Every vehicle loses money. Instead, consider you need a new car. You can get a new model 3 for around 30k now, and compared to my previous car, I save around $2000/year in fuel over the cost of charging the 3. That means if I kept it for 10 years, it's a $10,000 vehicle. Now consider what a 20 or 30k ICE would cost in fuel during that time, plus maintenance. The Tesla is very cheap, you just have to be more forward thinking than you are.

AFAIK software isn't counted towards it, but you can always add FSD later if you wanted.

Personally, I'd use AP all day long and then make lane changes myself and save the $15k.

You just have to be careful with stuff like trade in value and GAP when it comes to adding FSD post-purchase.

Sweet! Yes, I think i'll be adding on the Enhanced Auto Pilot feature. Pretty excited man, been waiting for 4 years to get a Tesla.
