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)

"We were able to get data from all Tesla vehicles up until late 2017 and plotted the usable battery pack capacity versus the total energy used since the vehicle was new."

Note that trying to estimate battery longevity from the newest cars is difficult because there's simply no other data (from cars that have ran similar batteries 5 to 10 years) available.

Ie. The ev car and battery systems are too new to provide an accurate longevity guess for the 0 to 3 year old EVs. There is preliminary data and rough guesses for these newer cars, but certainly for older EV cars (Tesla, iMiev, Leaf) there's more accurate estimates of battery longevity.

Keep in mind that it's not JUST the lithium battery chemistry used that greatly affects longevity!

Temperature, discharge and charge rates and methods, manufacturing differences, etc can SIGNIFICANTLY affect longevity!

https://batteryuniversity.com/articles

The many chapters here provide more info.

At minimum https://batteryuniversity.com/art...-batteries

There is a reason Tesla altered its warranty length https://electrek.co/2020/02/02/te...150k-mile/
Ie. WE DON'T CARE to pay for a new $12-20k+ battery pack after 8~ years / 150k miles!
(Something many in commuter cities like Los Angeles can burn thru in under 5 years....)
Watch and learn. Tesla lost whopping 12% after 100k miles. Stop spewing FUD.

Plenty and nothing is safe as Tesla. Find us a safer car at this price range. We will wait.

delivery between Feb - Apr 2023 is too risky for $7500 tax credit. I would like to wait for 2023 New Model Y which will have ultrasonic sensor, radar, new 4680 battery and new structure late this year. This deal is more likely, Tesla tried the best to clear up its current stock.

Holy cow. Assumed much? Plenty of people move from expensive sports car, luxury car or whatever car they had before to Tesla, because it's safe and provides excellent value. You guys seem to butt hurt that people actually want to move to drive Tesla instead of whatever dinosaur ICE cars you are holding on. That ship has sailed. Deal with it, EV is the future whether you like it or not.
I've owned 2 Teslas and 5 EVs total. No disputing EVs are good. A lot of people think Tesla is the greatest car ever though because they haven't actually driven other good cars or just are excited because of the acceleration of an EV. Once that novelty wears off Tesla isn't that great of a car. Tons of quality issues and customer service literally doesn't exist… as in they have no customer service department.

I don't get the hype around these EVs. They never pencil out better on paper than gas engines do for me.
I'd enjoy an EV, but to say people are "saving" money buying and owning one, I haven't yet been able to prove that in my own number comparisons.

So… if someone has the money to spend on one, are they REALLY looking for a SD? If I had the money, I pay the price whatever it is, and wouldn't care.
That's just not true. Multiply your current income by 3 or 5 times you would still look at SD on occasions. It has nothing to do with being able to afford, it's about finding deals making the same $ goes further. Plenty of 'rich' people on SD.

Saving money on gas is just to feel right. Look at insurance cost and premium they pay for price compared to ICE vehicles gas usage. EV will likely be expensive in 5-7 years time.

How useful is the enhanced autopilot? Do most people get that with their tesla?
Not very useful in my opinion. The standard one works quite well in maintaining speed, distance, and staying in your lane. I only use it on long freeway stretches.

I've owned and/or driven all current EVs in this price range before settling on Tesla. Nothing is as technological advance as Tesla in terms of software and 'smartness' of the car. It's not even close. And scary thing is Tesla keeps updates coming and improving itself. That's what sets it apart from others.

Most services can be performed by mobile tech. Schedule in app and they came to my house. Easy-peasy beats having to go to dealer, wait 3 hours there for every little issue.

I will always look for a deal. but it seems ridiculous that people making over $300K are complaining that they cant get government assistance to buy a $55K car.

Best time to buy a Tesla at the end of the quarter.
That is typically true, and definitely so for a base Model 3 with the LFP battery. That is not necessarily the case for the NCA battery vehicles because the battery credit hasn't been ironed out yet.

Buddy, nobody here is against EV. It's just decent (and your 1995 honda accord which you traded in for Model 3 does not fit into that category) ICE vehicles still annihilate tesla in performance and quality, so what's the point of switching?

Now in a year or two real EV vehicles will hit the market and Elon Flask will have to convince the government to throw even more credits to make at least some sales.

The issue is that with Tesla you have lots of issues, with other brands you don't need to go to the dealer at all. Maybe a lot of people have good luck but for the two Teslas I owned I spent hours and hours going back and forth to the service center, being without my car, etc… on cars that were literally 1 month old. On my other cars I don't know anybody at the service center because I haven't been there enough to get to know people. With Tesla it seems like the owners are always like "oh yeah, Joe at the service center is always great!" because they go there once a month for an issue.

I was more so wondering do they typically come in earlier or later within the estimate window.

Historically Tesla rolls out freebies and discounts at the end of the quarter to pump up their sales numbers before the earnings report.
