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)

I don't need to ask anyone as my colleagues drive Porsches and couldn't care less about tesla. The reality is Tesla is cheap and gets its ass beaten by a 6000 pound ICE Porsche SUV.

All this rant about tesla is a luxury sports car makes me laugh. Luxury sports cars don't get their asses beaten by SUV.
Luxury is relative, isn't it? Model 3 could be seen comparable to BMW 3s and S probably with BMW 5s. Some would say BMW is a luxury brand, but Kardashians would beg to differ.

Merriam-webster defines "sports car" as "a low small usually two-passenger automobile designed for high-speed driving.". It has nothing to do with money, but it does have everything to do with the size/weight/handling and the joy of driving. SUVs have nothing to do with any of that, regardless the straight line acceleration.

People who took advantage of the end of December deal got most of the savings assuming supercharger miles are valuable to them.

$59,940 December 24th Price (vehicle price, destination fee, order fee)
$55,630 January 13th Price (vehicle price, destination fee, order fee)
$4,310 Difference between Dec and Jan prices
$1,500 Supercharger value ($.50 KW)
$2,810 Final difference before TTL
You left out one very important detail - the $7500 tax credit at the end of 2023 for a January purchase (if you qualify).

Anyone who thinks Tesla is a luxury is an idiot. The only thing Tesla does well is its bettery. The entire car is basically an empty box on the battery. Mode Y in china is sold under 40K. American is being ripped off over here.

2023 will have a lot of new electric cars coming out from competior that Telsa will have to compete. Expect at least 10K price drop from here. You gotta be an idiot to buy a 50K car just to "save" gas because it's NOT saving.

And 12 years later even after Tesla released their patents back in 2016...
They still dominate the US EV market.
Why?
Could it be execution, supercharging network,1st mover in 'battery' supplies & brilliance.
If it was that easy to do, why is taking so long for others to build a rolling empty battery box?

Guess if you sit around long enough Haley's comment will fly by & hit the dinosaurs.

It is currently for the money at this price range the best car money can buy. It seems to hurt your little ego people want to buy Tesla. You want some hugs or something?
Why does the best vehicle money can buy need $7500 credit to get it off the lot?

Buddy, it's exactly being able to afford Porsche maintenance that differentiate them from broke tesla drivers.





Look at all this rant about best ever made luxury sports car tesla? LMAO
So being able to pay maintenance for Porsche is somehow better than maintenance free Tesla? Not sure what you are getting at? What's your fascination with Porsche.
Are you saying people buying Tesla are those who can't afford Porsche? That is just untrue. You let the badge of car and brand of material things determine what you think of others. Just sad. Good bye.

Model Y is just a Model 3 with a hatch. You really consider that a new design over the Model 3? 😂
I think no design change is to save on cost on manufacturing and to maintain resale value.

I don't know what soccer mom website you got that definition from but here's the definition which seems to be a bit more aligned with the sports car:

Quote :
A sports car is a car designed with an emphasis on dynamic performance, such as handling, acceleration, top speed, the thrill of driving and racing capability.

They dominate because it's their only product. Legacy car makers are still selling a shitload of ICE cars and don't have any incentive to try and push more EVs when they can sell ICE cars just fine.

If I am selling 1000 apple pies a year and you are selling 50 cupcakes a year I don't care if you give me your cupcake recipe… I'll stick to selling my apple pies.

You are still thinking in terms of traditional ice cars where thousands of little components needed to keep car running and need to be replaced due to wear and tear. EV gets rid most of those. Tesla has 4 year warranty. Even outside warranty they charge very reasonable rate for coming to your house to do out of warranty repair. Don't let others scare you.
Have you actually done any out of warranty repair? I guess reasonable rate is subjective. Logically, Tesla parts are proprietary so they monopolize the market. Checkout the Tesla forum where people are complaining the out of warranty repair cost.

I happened to purchase the Tesla at the end of the year, but I make peace with that. My experience with Tesla is anything but luxury. The delivery experience is crap where the sales advisor's attitude is I should be thankful to be able to buy the car. I was not provided the chance to inspect the car (my car was dropped off at 11:38PM after them rescheduled and push my 1PM delivery multiple times and was told I must drive off their lot by 11:59PM). After getting home, I inspected the car and found multiple defects. The car was sent back to the service center on 1/4 to get the windshield replaced and panels aligned. I have another appointment scheduled on 1/16 for dash pad upholstery replacement and trunk divider board replacement (I think they damaged it while fixing the trunk alignments). In addition, when I picked up the car from service center, I found many sharp tiny glass particles on the car (likely from the glass shop where they replaced my windshield), but was told that it's normal. The car was also dirty that I wonder if they even put any covers while servicing the car.

I'm praying that the car is really maintenance free as stated by many other owners so I don't have to deal with Tesla. As the EV competition heats up, I hope Tesla realize that customer do have a choice and if they continue like this, they are no different than the legacy car manufactures.

This is true. People that can afford Porsche are buying Porsche. Porsche to Tesla is a major downgrade. If you don't understand that then it explains why you think Tesla is the best car ever.
