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)

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.
Wut wat?
ICE Car makers sell a shit load gas autos (of trucks) & that isn't their only product too?
Losing market share to a bunch of geeks from silicon valley with a truck of their own in 2023 will be the path forward not holding onto dino tech.

I'm in a local Tesla club and most people get 10k-20k max out of a set of tires. 30k would be amazing.
30K is possible if (1) you rotate religiously, (2) do a lot of highway cruising without stop-and-go, and (3) have a lower weight rear wheel drive only.

Just left Tesla and they couldn't guarantee you would get the car prior the tax credit not being available anymore. And they were unsure if it was beginning or end of March

Quote from tqlla3k :
I think the monthly option is the better option for FSD, unless FSD becomes awesome and Tesla raises the price substantially.

FSD costs $15000. $15000 on a 5 year loan at 5% is $283/month and a total cost of $16984
-- you may have to pay extra taxes on the $15000 since its a part of the cars sales cost
-- you may have to pay extra property tax on the FSD since its a part of the cars value
-- If you trade in your car after 5 years, FSD will be worth around 20% of its current cost.

The monthly option is $199, it would take 7.11 years to break even on FSD, assuming the price stays $199. And you can quit when you want.
also factor in how much you'd make investing 15k during that time.

personally, FSD has no value to me until it can drive the car without anyone in it. At that point its value is in saving part of a second car. e.g; you drive to work, car drives home and wife can use it for the next 7 hours. Then it goes back to work and you can drive it home.

If you had a second car, you'd have the ability to go places at the same time and if one car breaks down, you can still use the other. So the value to me would be less than a used second car for the household.

The robotaxi stuff is pie in the sky stuff, when that happens, commodity hardware means there will be low margins. No one will make 200k a year off it. That's a joke.

The simple truth here is if Tesla was the best car ever and had no competition then Tesla wouldn't be dropping their prices by 20% in order to make sure their cars qualify for the credit. If all the other cars are so bad they wouldn't care about people buying them just to get the credit. Tesla itself is proving that it is scared of competition from other brands. No two ways about it.
I don't know if anyone saw the stock price chart recently because Tesla is now being treated like a car company (not a tech company). The self driving promise was half-assed and then they removed radar for Tesla Vision which isn't going smoothly.

Now radar is coming back for future models per their FCC filing. The real challenge starts between now and 2025 when every manufacturer will have luxury EVs.

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:
Haha. I'm actually a Soccer dad. I enjoy soccer and driving my 911 during weekends on the winding roads of Santa Cruz mountains.

I can ignore your soccer mom insult, but if you are saying that my 911 is not a true sports car, then you and I really have a serious issue.

Got 32K out of my M3P but I don't race every Dino @ each stop light LOL.
Easy starts, Easy stops. Speedy in between is fun too.

Your example acts like Tesla is good because they dominate their new market… it leaves out the overall car market that is dominated by ICE vehicles. You really think that when BMW, GM, etc. go all in on EVs Tesla is still going to dominate? They dominate now because the big players are making plenty of money without even trying to compete with Tesla.

Who's losing marketshare buddy? What market share did EV cars have before tesla? Confused

Ferdinand Porsche's first car was electric and he dumped it because it made no sense. Let's see what kind of market share (or price) Tesla will have when legit car makers join the party.

People who think that tesla is a luxury sports car never drove one.

I am trying to schedule pickup with Tesla and it shows 15, 16, 17 only. I am hoping that if I wait I can schedule during weekends. Also I applied for loan in credit union. I assume it will take few days to get it approved.
