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.

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.
My household makes $400k annually and I'm still always on the search for a SD, whether it's a kitchen knife or, in this case, a car.

I (NJ residence) already got $2000 deducted from final cost with under 55k model Y.
Charge website is just need an update to shows up model Y.
ShrewdSeed8006Is the federal tax credit different from state incentives? New Jersey has a up to $4000 tax incentive. Can I stack that on top of the federal tax credit?
Yes you are right. I was looking for 7 seater that is 56,990 so not eligible for NJ rebate

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.

In 2009, I didnt qualify for the $10000 first time home buyer credit because I made $85K. That was bs.
Median household income of tesla owner is $133k. And I bet even those don't complain. Those who complain can barely afford payment because they bought a tesla to look rich.

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.
you go ahead and do that.. most likely by then the refresh model will have different pricing and wont fully qualify for the full tax credit. all the current savings go kapoof...

Incorrect. you won't get the rebate. the car is no in their eligibility list.
You are 1/2 correct. It's not currently on the eligibility list because the price drop occurred yesterday. The list will be updated accordingly reflecting the latest MSRP's - no different than when the price increased above the cap.

I saw at least a couple of people in this thread complaining that the threshold($150k/$300K) is too low.

How many people really qualify to get the full tax credit?
I wonder if they are issuing the rebate without explaining to people the fact you may owe some or all of it back when you file 2023 taxes.
I read you need to make at least $110k as a married couple filing jointly and then not have any other deductions.
I think I'd get maybe $1.5k of the rebate but when I check Tesla website it shows the full $7.5k.
Unless digging deeper for the rules I'd bet a large number of people will owe most of it back but not realize it since they will zero out their taxes and get a very similar refund as previous years.
I'd love to get one of these but without that credit its like adding$7.5k to the depreciation the day I pick it up.

Quote from EliteDealHunter :
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.
Tesla is the Apple of car-making, and its business model can be reduced to a single adjective: proprietary.
I have no idea how Tesla owners fix those cars without breaking bank after the warranty period ends.

Same exact people say Tesla is a nice ride. Don't trust everything you see on the internet.

It's easy to determine. Just look at your tax liability from last year.

Also, you don't get the credit when you buy the car so there's nothing to "give back". The credit is applied to your 2023 taxes that you will file in 2024.

Quote from AlexK6706 :
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.

https://electrek.co/wp-content/up...esting.mp4
1995 accord? I came from BMW X3 and X5. There's nothing annihilates Tesla from those car. Holy wood panels inside! Big whoppy do. Ask anyone who have made the switch, how many would go back? Willing to bet it's very small moniority.

Wow competition is coming. They are always coming, and we've been waiting for how long? At this price range nothing will be competitive. Check how many Lyriq GM sold last quarter. 12! Wow! Yeah you keep waiting for competition we get to enjoy our Tesla.
