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)

Yet one requires far more maintenance than the other for some reason.... Porsche's are definitely good for keeping your local stealership in business.

Even Porsche industry money couldn't change C&D's mind, why would anyone pay 5 figures more for one?

I drive Lexus gs350. Gf drives mercedes e350 series and just bought model 3 performance. I used to own Honda Accord for 10 years. Comparing driving fun with Tesla and Honda Accord. Just stfu bcoz you clueless. I agreed interior sucks in Tesla but if you love driving Tesla is the shit. At some point people with some disposable cash stop giving a fark about price . I mean we live in a country without personal responsibility including the govt unlimited expanding deficit that will eventually reset the whole dollar system. We ain't paying that 30 trillions plus hundreds of billions in interests back lol

We can compare all day buddy. Here goes a 5000 pound SUV. You can't win this game.
  • 7:33.95 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT
  • 7:35.579 Tesla Model S Plaid

And that's pure performance. If you start throw overall interior quality comparison into equation the things will only go down the drain.

Imagine what happens when Porsche will do to Tesla when it goes full steam EV. LMAO

So figure 12k miles a year average. At your example rate that's $600 if you only charge at home. ICE car with 30 mpg at $3/gallon gas is $1200. So just as you said, 50% savings. $600 savings per year. So even if you drive the car 10 years you've only saved $6000 in gas… not enough to justify the cost increase from a similarly equipped ICE car.
Only accounting for gas, not savings on the combustible parts, oil changes, that EV's don't require

Lows: Poor fit and finish, dated interior, bland steering and chassis feel.
So where is that luxury super car feel which has been advertised here by people who traded in their 1991 civic hatchback for a brand new luxury best ever made super car model 3?

I really feel sorry for you guys because you've never figured what proper ICE V8 is and will forever remember ICE cars based on driving experience of 1991 ford fiesta.

Okay… let's toss in say $2000 in maintenance for oil changes and brakes and such. Still only $8000 savings and that's assuming you actually keep the car for 10 years to realize the savings.

The only difference is the Tesla will actually get better with time via OTA updates for life.

When I first bought my S85D, the 0-60 advertised was 5.4s. Now it's high 3s. Didn't pay a dime more for that.

Porsche won't send you shit after that car drives off the lot.

Yeah, I'm sorta pissed about how that worked out for my Kia EV6. With the Model Y price drop, I could get that instead. Oh well, at least I don't need to wait.
KIA is piss poor

So if tesla doesn't require any kind of maintenance, how come it's least reliable vehicle ever made? EEK! Or is the implication that by doing 4 $100 oil changes over the course of 4 years should be a deal breaker?

Try harder.

Good ol' times: free upgrades and free supercharging. Try to pull that one now.

BTW, nobody stops you from using COBB which is pretty much same shit.

This was in reference to how the Tesla is so much better to drive. What you're referring to is my point… Lexus and Honda are solid so why spend more than an Accord to buy a Tesla?

I wont disagree on the interior, but for the features/price/performance, Porsche will never touch that combo and they won't/can't. Tesla is capturing business where it counts because they have re-defined the driving and buying experience from the ground up. I would even argue the service experience when you consider things like mobile service and unlimited OTA updates.

If you care so much about interiors, just save up and buy a Rolls Royce Ghost or Phantom dude, will blow away any Porsche interior.
