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)

So you spent $60k on a $30k car, insurance increased by $550 and you think it's not too bad? LMAO Is inflation not too bad as well in your opinion?
Nowadays, you can't even buy a RAV4, Explorer, CRV or whatever midsize suv for $30k with the crazy dealer markups. You are implying that a Model Y drives, rides and social status is worse than those suvs? worship

None of you SD'rs are getting the tax credit here as you all make more than 300k joint filing (married), so it shouldn't even be in consideration.
Plus you have to owe IRS 7500 next year to get that credit applied.

That would be a good one if not the statistics:

Fit and finish as well as general quality has been an issue with Tesla for a long time. They look all pretty on the outside but they have pretty significant quality issues that have improved somewhat in the past few years. From a mechanical perspective they're going to be somewhat more reliable due to lack of a combustion engine. I would say the Corolla is a much higher quality piece of equipment. The Japanese have refined that vehicle so well.

If you were to throw a $20,000 Tesla battery into that Corolla would it make you feel better about it knowing that you paid more?

You better hope for bigger tax credit, car is unlikely to be cheaper. There is no car close to this value at the moment.

I was debating between the Lexus rx350, Volvo xc90 and model Y, all were in the 65K range. Now with basically ~20K discount on the model Y. It's an easy decision for me

I was exactly in the same boat. Was considering a 2021 certified RX350, which I could have bought for around 45-46k. Over 12 years/100k miles, it would have cost me 30k in gas and maintenance, and assumed zero salvage value. A total lifetime cost of ~75k.


Model Y at 46k (after 7.5k federal + 2k NJ credit), over 12 years/100k miles will cost me 12-14k in charging and maintenance, for a lifetime cost of ~60k. Hard to ignore the cost saving.

Buddy, stop connecting car and social status and you'll be fine. Single filers with AGI $150K+ are not eligible to be in this thread.

Hope it is reliable, but in the worse case scenario we just cancel the booking and lose $250.

Citing an overpriced gas car compared to an overpriced Tesla doesn't change the fact that they're both overpriced.

How much does it cost for a normal maintenance and do you use more tires than a typical regular car?

That is about double the median household income. That is much higher than I would have expected.

This is DIRECTLY removed from your calculated taxes and has NOTHING to do with your withholdings or anything else. As long as you have 7500 or above in taxes, you will be able to take the entire amount back.
Oh snap, is true?! This is giving me hope again.

Reading so much conflicting comments and articles. My emotions are like a rollercoaster ride lol. Why is tax so damn complicated.

What kind of maintenance which would cost you $10k for a Lexus are you talking about? And what's that zero salvage value? 20 year old RX330 costs $10k now, look around.
