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)

Currently, I see FSD as the significant differentiator between Tesla and others, and they are pricing it at 15K, which most users are not getting and may not get (you can check stats). Adding 15K makes it at least 15K or more expensive than the competition. Also need to consider increased insurance costs (I tried to enter a new car into Geico to check, and it shows me a 2K increase/year - that is 10K for five years).

So overall, it may cost 20-25K more than others.

Without FSD, it is like a bland car with few options.

So if people like Lexus RX, they prefer to get EV/Hybrid in that series than Tesla at similar price points. Same with fans of other brands (F/GM/Nissan/VW/Volvo/Honda...).

I am thinking of canceling my 53K TYLR and losing $250.

You need to update registration after booked it.
Checkout question about NJ $2000 extra credit in the forum where I walked through all details.

I've added my NJ address to the registration but the 2k credit is not reflected just yet. But the order subtotal, excluding destination & order fee, is 53,990 so it should qualify for NJ credit.

How are you getting $45K for the model y? It looks like it will be $54630 after destination charges and order fee, and not to mention applicable state taxes.

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.
Exclude fee and destination and tax, the car is 45.5k after 7500 rebate.

FSD doesn't rely on radar or USS, everything is Tesla Vision that's camera based. It will have all the necessary hardware to run FSD. Structural pack is different. You can choose Austin made with 4680 battery but it has shorter range. I would recommend just getting the current version.

$7500 is the surest thing right now at the moment. Once battery guideline is published it's more likely than not you won't get full 3750 part of rebate.

My advice is to get the car if you need. Tesla lowered price by this much because it got screwed by IRS setting MY 5 seater as sedan. It's very possible Tesla just rework or add air suspension to MY to make it eligible later on as SUV, and then raise price back up over 55k level. It's all possible but at 45.5k Tesla has no competition at this price range.

So I can use some tax help here. The "IRS rule" says as long of your AGI is maximum of $300,000 for a household, $150,000 for an individual or $225,000 for a head of household, you should qualify for the rebate. Also it mentions that we can go back one year for the AGI. What i am confused about if we buy the car now, is it saying we can either use the AGI of 2022(tax filing still pending) or AGI of 2023 when we file taxes in 2024? Pls help confirm.

NJ doesn't charge sales tax on EV, so we save minimum $3-4k. One of few benefits of being in NJ.
oh wow wasn't aware of that! So you get $7500 Federal credit, $2000 NJ credit and no tax?! My sister is moving out of NJ end of this month - wish I had known this earlier....

If I lease Tesla Model Y LR, will $7500 credit be automatically be applied to the total cost upfront so that my monthly lease cost will be less?

Autopilot is good enough if you only care about highway driving. Right now autopilot and FSD are 2 different sets of software with FSD getting most of new updates. Next software release (in 1-2 weeks) autopilot will be upgraded to use same software as FSD so you are not going to miss out. It's pretty great.
Oh thanks for the info. Have an article or video I can watch? Or can you explain what benefits that'll give to regular Autopilot? Thanks again

Also electricity will get more expensive. Ask Ca tesla owners
This is what concerns me. They charged what they did for leaded gas many years ago. Then they charged you more, not to put the lead in there for unleaded. Undoubtedly they'd charge more if we went back to leaded. We're always going to be in a drought and being charged more for water, even if everyone had to build an ark! When everyone goes electric, it'll go through the roof, and gas will be down, relatively.

Yeah, Elon is horrible. He had the nerve to give the pink slips to scores of snowflakes who thought they were entitled to a competitive ongoing compensation without having to work. The nightmare of every investor.
Do you even know the people who got pink slips? Do you know what it used to take even to get a twitter interview? It's so easy to write a sentence to degrade their years of hard work. I have been in software engineering for 15+ years and have worked for the giants like Amazon, Apple, Netflix. I had friends who worked there. And they are one of the smartest people in the industry.
Layoffs don't work like what you think most of the times. And at Twitter these absolutely didn't. We as human beings are naturally biased and fallible. On top of that whims of an impulsive, narcissistic egocentric person were involved.

so if i lost 20k in stocks, but made 70k at my job, i only get taxed on 50k right?
Look at the line that says "taxable income" on your Fed1040. Using that number look, up your tax owed for the year in the tables that come with the 1040 instructions. If you owe $7500 or more you'll be able to take full advantage of the rebate.

Not exactly. You can do $200 monthly subscription for FSD without having to pay 15k up front. Also the free Autopilot will be upgraded to use same software / AI as FSD so you will continuously getting latest advancement in FSD, just got highway driving. But yes, FSD and Tesla software in general is the main differentiator vs completion. Just like iPhone vs Android.
Insurance is relatively similar to same price range of cars, do some cross shopping. If you are coming up from a 30k car then sure this will be more.

I did a bit more digging. Clarification from the IRS "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." So no, you can only negate what you owe up to $0. So if you're due for a refund, then you gain nothing. This really sucks.



From IRS website:
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.
