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 β€” which is described in filings as "76-77 GHz Automotive Radar" β€” 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)

click on actual price, then subtract $7500 from that number, to get an idea. Then add sales tax.

Price seems to vary quite a bit based on zip code. Once you go to the "deal", try changing the zip code to various other ones.

Anyone ordered the Model Y (LR) get an update on their ETA yet?


Ordered mine yesterday, and I just realized it says Jan-March. If it comes March after the EV tax updates, then I assume it could potentially decrease to half the amount. Hope it comes before then.

I think customizing a model 3 is Jan-Feb ETA for now.
Ordered last night when it was showing Jan - March.

As of this afternoon it was updated to 1/24 - 2/7

Regarding the $7,500 tax credit. Based on the following link, it appears that it gets subtracted at the point of sale. Its slightly different than what others have discussed here. Can someone clarify?

Have cash on hand, but my CU is offering 36 months at 4%. With options of increasing the rate by .25% for every 12 months added to the loan. Up to 5% for 84 months.

Any thoughts about taking the loan and putting the money in I Bonds or a HYSA and possibly refinancing if rates drop? Or just pay cash outright?

Why can't you choose Red color and White interior as well?? Doing so disqualified you from $7500 tax credit because it goes over $55000 threshold for 5-seater. You would have to throw in $4000 for 7-seater in order to get both red color and white interior options together and qualified for $7500


Either that or having to suck up and choose other color combinations.

reading you nut huggers about Tesla/EV and Porsche/ICE is hilarious.

Both can be good cars and have their uses and purposes. Tesla's are not really luxury cars. I see them more as nicer than Japanese dailys.

Honestly the Model 3 and Model Y are great cars. Reasonably priced daily drivers. Model 3 drives like a "sports" sedan. The supercharger network is unparalleled. BUT, yes build quality is mediocre at best. My MY came with some very obvious issues, some worse than others (one was a misaligned door that wouldn't close properly). My Model 3 came with worse issues. Massive panel gaps and issues. BUT, for the $37k I paid for the Model 3 & $55k for the Model Y, the comparable cars are also not great. A base 3 series interior is crap and slow. Most crossovers that compare to MY are more expensive or substantially slower.

Now the Model S and X kinda suck. When you are buying a $100k+ car, gas savings don't really matter lol. When you sit in a Model S/X and then sit in an equivalent car from the germans, you can tell the difference. At least the Lucid Air has a gorgeous interior and is really quiet. A brand new M5/7/S class, a X5M/X7 or RSQ8, are leagues and leagues ahead in terms of interior quality. You have much better paint quality and build quality as well.

ICE is better if you care about the sound, the visceral feeling; etc. It's the toy you want to drive on the weekend. I don't want a model s plaid as a weekend car. Any 911 would be my weekend car.

That's nice, not bad at all. You ordered last night and got an narrower ETA already? I ordered yesterday around noon, no update. Hope I get my new ETA soon.

I wonder if it is a location thing. I live in NC, where do you live?

I think all of these come from the Tesla Texas gigafactory with the updated 4680 batteries.
