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)

anyone find a good auto loan finance rate?
I always recommend checking your local credit unions, they have can have great rates, worst case you open a free checking account.

DCU in MA historically has good rates.

You are a genius. I can sell my leftover steak and get $16 bucks yesterday, but today I can only sell it for $10. Please convince me it's the same.
How do you think the people that didn't get lifetime Internet and supercharger access felt when they bought after those perks expired?

So if someone bought a steak for $16 and ate it, then next month it's on sale for $10 did they lose $6?
If steaks were re-sellable after eating, and you were trying to sell yours for $14 but now others are on sale for $8, yes. I understand why someone would see it as a loss

Do you guys recommend full self driving? Also does the 15k put you above the tax credit threshold?
why are people on slick deals spending $15k for fsd to make themselves poor drivers and potentially become lazy and cause a 9 car role over like the one on bay bridge?

I'm in a local Tesla club and most people get 10k-20k max out of a set of tires. 30k would be amazing.
Depends what tires. If you put on eco / low rolling resistance high millage all seasons you will easily get >30k miles. I'm very happy with my the Pirelli P7 all season on my model 3. I'm past 30k miles on them and lots of life left.

If however you put on high performance summer tires then, yes , you'll be lucky to get 10k miles in any car.

IMO the factory tires from many manufacturers wear out fast, some kind of razor blade model relationship with the tire vendor. As I assume most people will then go buy the OEM tire type when they replace.

On the 18" wheels on M3, I got about 25k on my OEMs and I'm on 23k and counting with the Pilot Sport 3+. I expect to go at least 30k on these.

Yeah, I'm referring to summer tires that come on performance models.

Well that aspect is one thing, but the Tesla vehicles are pigs in terms of handling and weight. I'm waiting for a company to make an actual electric sports car before I go back to EV. Teslas are more like classic muscle cars with straight line speed and terrible handling. I'm hoping for an electric Miata or S2000 successor. The new hybrid Corvette E-ray is also intriguing.

Oh yeah, agreed, they'll be bald in <15k miles. I once made the mistake of putting summer performance tires on a 350Z, they lasted 8k miles.

IMO Just switch to all season at the first tire change.

I have 23,000 miles on the factory 19" tires on my 3, and still have plenty of life left. Will probably get at least 30k out of 'em.

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...
I wonder the same?

All seasons on the performance models basically waste what you paid for getting the performance model. Gotta max it out with the summer tires.

Sounds like more a general question for the Finance community. It generally boils down to if you can make your money work better for you than the APR of the loan.
