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)

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.
Yeah it's obvious he drove over the cliff on purpose. Luckily wife and kids (completely unharmed!) survive I'm sure they gave accurate account that made police arrest the husband so quickly. Would love to being able to see video from that onboard camera. Hope he stays and rots in jail.

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.
No sales tax and additional $2k NJ credit is a very tempting proposition in NJ I would agree. Are there no strings attached for the NJ credit? I'm wondering if there is someway to leverage this as my sister currently lives in NJ but she is moving out of state at the end of the month ...

How much does it cost for a normal maintenance and do you use more tires than a typical regular car?
Just need to change tires, windshield wiper and add fluid. No other maintenance needed.

That's the best. One of few things that NJ does right. And that's why it makes 0 sense to buy anything else but EV in NJ. Even hybrid you still need to pay tax. Only restriction is you can't sell car within 3 years for that 2k rebate. But once you move who's going to know?

I make about $100k/year and had set $15k maximum limit for purchasing a vehicle, until just before Covid I splurged and spent about $19k for a new Camry. Am I the only person on SD who believes it's pretty outrageous to think it's normal to spend $50-60 on a vehicle?

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

I said other than price and know they have cons. We have all heard about lower maintenance, better eMPG, better performance and mainly no longer a golf cart like car; but you cited no reason Tesla is not a better vehicle if priced much less. And I also do realize an EV is worth more due to running costs one. I am saying they are overpriced, far beyond that point. Always looking like the sticker price is more. It's simply to much more, over comparable.

So if ignorant then prove why a Tesla EV is not better overall; except for price?

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.

Well, we're taking about the salvage value in 2035, not today, are we? You think a 12 year old Lexus with 100k miles, and 19 mpg will have ANY value in 2035? Seriously?


30k includes 25k in gas (averaged at ~$5 per gallon), and 5k maintenance. Tbh, $5 per gallon average over 12 year horizon might well very be conservative.

Quote from Buckeyefan 1 :
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.
If anyone can afford a luxury car, going ev is a no brainer from a maintenance and time standpoint.

I was spending hours a year filling up at least once a week given how much i drive for work. Plus no wasted Time on oil changes.

Time is priceless, there is no SD on time.

obviously this is in addition to the environmental argument.. EVs last longer and electric motors are 3-4x more efficient than gas engines.

Irrelevant. Model 3 is boring compared to the real M3. Good car for A to B transportation but nothing like the BMW in terms of driving enjoyment.
