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 iceage2007 :
So..., buy EV or not to by EV?
Buy the EV if you are a homeowner with a garage and a 220v hookup, if you can afford the payment, and if your car insurance doesn't double or triple. You can do a lot more on GHG like insulating your home, giving up red meat, pushing local leaders to switch to safe nuclear (ready by 2030), etc... Buying a Tesla won't solve GW, but it's a good start. An expensive one if you're financing the entire car.

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.
Maybe Elon demands and expects even higher standard of what we think someone is good at their job? There's a reason why Tesla FSD only has 150 people where Mercedes has 5000+. It sucks they get laid off. But that comes as part of being highly paid in a competitive environment, and even so now that he has same expectation as those work in spacex and tesla.

so if i lost 20k in stocks, but made 70k at my job, i only get taxed on 50k right?
No the IRS screws you.
If you earn 21K in stocks, the 21K is taxed.
If you lose 21K, you can only deduct 3K every year for 7 years

Quote from qwerty9999 :
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.
Can't believe people still buying the FSD bullshit. It is a scam

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...
If you take your hypothetical and apply the credit, then you will receive a $8500 tax refund (including the $1k you mentioned).

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.
"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.
"
This sounds like if we purchase it now, claim it by april for our 2022 return if I'm reading it right.

It was a blanket layoff. Elon laid off half of twitter in 10 days. No way he could evaluate each employee in that time.

It's combination of job function and skill sets. And given that even after 2/3 of people were gone, Twitter still works the same, if not better now than before. Can you really say that wasn't the right move? Just think from an owner point of view. How would you run it if you own a business?

I read about 26 pages and that's all I could take. After reading about this law I considered a Model Y before I saw this thread but I have realized this;

Consumer Reports does not recommend this car. It is not a quality car. Nor or any of the EV startups. These companies can't possibly catch up to the quality and know-how of the big car manufacturers that have been doing it for decades and/or centuries.

The price decrease is SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE LAW. There will not be more drops in prices if you "hold the line.". This is a car, not a video card.

A huge advantage that Tesla has over any other EV maker is the Supercharger network. At this point, it's probably the only thing that will keep them competitive against large automakers in the next decade. I believe GM or Ford or Hyundai/Kia can make a better EV, but without the charging network to support it, you basically just have a local runabout car good for trips to work.

All of that being said, I have decided to stick with Hybrid. All of this EV hype being pushed by California(ns) is really premature. Charging networks really are lacking, EV vehicle quality is suspect, and EVs really do cost more than regular cars or hybrids, even with a $7500 rebate.

Maybe next time.
