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)

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.
Buddy, if your friends are the smartest in the industry with Amazon/Apple and Netflix on their portfolio they couldn't care less about the lay off. It's those who worked 4 hours per week who are concerned. Next time tweet less and you'll be fine.

I thought under the new rules the credit was a direct dealer credit, which would apply immediately to the purchase price of the car and not appear as a tax credit that you need to claim back.
that's 2024

Anyone know about EV tax credit rules for this situation -

If you buy 2x Teslas in same year, do you qualify for 7500x2 tax credit for that tax year?

You left out one important thing, the "Model Y was dropped to $52,990 from $65,990, a 19.7% reduction,"
People who took advantage of the end of December deal got most of the savings assuming supercharger miles are valuable to them.

$59,940 December 24th Price (vehicle price, destination fee, order fee)
$55,630 January 13th Price (vehicle price, destination fee, order fee)
$4,310 Difference between Dec and Jan prices
$1,500 Supercharger value ($.50 KW)
$2,810 Final difference before TTL

Lol that's what you take out of all these discussions? First mistake is you read consumer report and take that over what countless of happy and satisfied tesla owner telling you here. Super charger network is not some small advantage you are minimizing it to be. IT IS one of main competitive advantage of having tesla where you rarely have to worry about where and how to find chargers, or worry that when you get there 90% of charging station not working (electrifying America). Musk had foresight to build out charging network first and that plays as huge advantage over other. Not to mention on the technology side all the updates you will be receiving through. Just like iPhone. I don't understand what you mean by charging network in California is lacking. Lol, if anything California has one of most number of SC and highest adoption rate of EV.

Also your idea that EV quality is suspect is without merit. Just compare number of parts needed in a car between EV and ICE/hybrid and you will be amazed. That's the reason why non-EV cars need so much maintenance. And if you care about safety, just compare the crash test result between Tesla and whatever car you are driving. Model Y scores the highest test score ever in Euro NCAP. That to me is the most important thing above all else. Just look at that sicko husband drove whole family in Model Y down 250 ft cliff and everyone survived. Model Y's structure and b pillar still in tact after such big fall tells me all I need to know about the safety of the car.

But enjoy your hybrid. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a car that needs more maintenance and takes gas, and less safe. Hopefully next time you will consider EV.
All good points. I heard about the story of the doctor/father who drove his family off that cliff and finally looked it up. Eyewitness says he was driving super fast and then all of a sudden went off the cliff. Intentional or not, amazing that the kids were unharmed and the mother and father suffered non-life threatening injuries. 250ft sounds like "maybe it's not that bad" but when you look at the photos and video of the cliff, whoa, that's high. The rescuers said normally no one should've survived.

If the father is guilty, hope he gets the punishment he serves.

You're leaving out: January orders qualifies for $7,500 tax credit. So that's still a 10k+ difference.
