Who Qualifies
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.
To qualify, you must:
Buy it for your own use, not for resale
Use it primarily in the U.S.
In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

The sale qualifies only if:
You buy the vehicle new
The seller reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.
Sellers are required to report your name and taxpayer identification number to the IRS for you to be eligible to claim the credit.
The new law requires the POS (Dealer or manufacturer) to report a bunch of information on the buyer to the IRS.
Such as:
Seller/Dealer name and taxpayer ID number
Buyer's name and taxpayer ID number
Maximum credit allowable under IRC 30D for new vehicles or IRC 25E for previously owned vehicles
Vehicle identification number (VIN), unless the vehicle is not assigned one
Battery capacity
Date of sale
Sale price
For new vehicles, verification that the buyer is the original user

Summary of February 28, 2023 updates:
……
In addition to the standard CVRP rebate, consumers with household income less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount of $5,500 (previously $2,500) for BEVs and PHEVs, and $3,000 (previously $2,500) for FCEVs. This amounts to:
……….$7,500 for battery-electric vehicles (previously $4,500)

B Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.

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,

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

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 originally bought it because I was enamored with the FSD, I had gotten a new job that was going to be a 40+ minute drive away with heavy traffic most of the way. I never did end up paying for FSD, even when it was half of what it costs now. I had a lot of problems with regular Autopilot and "shadow braking", which means the car would brake heavily automatically sometimes when it encountered an overhead bridge, light pole, truck, or other significant shadow on the road. I was really worried about getting rear ended a few times, so I stopped using it and only used Autopilot on long road trips and only in light traffic.
As others have mentioned, I don't think any of the Teslas come with a spare tire, so if you're not willing to wait hours for a service truck, you can get a spare but it does eat up trunk space. I did ended up having to call use their roadside assistance service once when I got a flat out in a rural area, I had to pay some out of pocket because I was too far from their regular service area. It took at least 2 hours for the repair truck to arrive, and they just gave me a temporary wheel/tire to use which was later swapped back thru their mobile repair service. The mobile repair service is pretty nice BTW.
Other service issues included having to replace the 4g network module that died after a software update (fixed under warranty) and having to clean/replace the cabin air filter because it started to smell like bad feet during humid summer days.
Also I recommend getting some type of paint protection for at least the front if you do a lot of long distance driving, the paint gets easily chipped, it probably doesn't help that there is no front air dam so lots more surface area for rocks to hit the front.
I really loved driving that car, I drove it all over Texas and used it to go camping in state parks, I would lay the rear seats down and sleep in the car with climate control, plugged into RV outlets at the park.
The only reason I sold it is because I wanted something bigger (Cybertruck I'm looking at you) and at the time I was able to sell it for more than what I paid, so it was a pretty easy decision (it was just an extra 3rd car anyway).
Hope this helps anyone looking to make a decision on their purchase!
Keeping in mind I don't believe this has the latest FSD hardware (ultrasonic & radar sensors) which will be added shortly supposedly. And remember there are plans to upgrade the Model Y with structural battery and mega casting.
The $7500 rebate isn't going away for a while (it might be cut in half in March but no reason it won't be a full $7500 in the near future again).
My advice is don't rush if you don't need a vehicle. This will likely cost closer to $50K, even after you fully get the $7500 rebate after all the fees and taxes.
"Reminder - Hi , schedule your Model Y delivery now at tesla.com/schedule/RN
If delivery is not scheduled by tomorrow, this vehicle will automatically be released to the next waiting customer. Your order will be placed on hold and is subject to cancellation."
For Tesla non performance models with Geico in MA the rates have been very sensible for me. My model Y was a small premium increase over a 10year old RAV4. This is as it should be, the majority $ of fully comprehensive insurance premiums is covering the average cost of the other car(s) in an accident (independent of what you drive) and all the medical bills of everyone involved which are huge compared to the cost of car repairs.
Edit. If you live in a state with a large percentage of uninsured drivers and lax or no yearly auto inspections your going to pay for that too in your premiums.

Base price doesn't include any fee, destination charge etc etc.

That splits the difference in 0-60 times between the two models and IMO a pretty good deal.

If I had known lifetime 4G and supercharging were going to go away, I would have bought another S/X in 2017, now I am just going to pray my 2015 S lasts forever
What's going to happen when that advice is wrong?
There is a reason you pay professionals.

Granted - that's only about $45 extra a month ($50 to $95) but, it does show that Teslas can be expensive to insure.
This is also with really good coverage.
