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)

Has anyone done any research regarding knowing for sure that it's one $7500 per vehicle and not one per tax filer? Trying to confirm that two $7500 credits are possible if I buy two cars.
did you find the answer to this?

I am seeing its per vehicle, assuming you have enough of a tax liability.

For those who lives in California and claimed a CVRP on another vehicle and planning on selling it or using it as a trade-in before keeping it for 30 months, did you have to repay the $2,000 CVRP rebate?

Many people have asked on 7500 eligibility but more comments I read I'm getting mixed answers.

Please someone help me to understand
1. I can use 2022 or 2033 AGI to be eligible for 7500 refund, whichever is less. Is that right. I think IRS site says that clearly so should be the case

2. If I'm eligible, when I file returns in 2023 which option is correct?
A. If I have to pay 7500 to IRS then I'll pay nothing or
B. My total income tax liability is over 7500, so my return is adjusted - or + 7500 depends on whether I owe or IRS

It says non refundable that means I guess IRS is not giving us any money. So I guess option A had to be taken care to qualify full 7500 credit. Am I right?

Btw I bought MYLR 7 seater since my old car is over 12 years and I was in market looking for EV car. Sad it won't qualify for $2000 NJ incentive though
I see a lot of folks are getting "Amount you owe" (line 37 your 1040 assuming you didn't withhold enough) and your "total tax" obligation (line 24 of your 1040 - how much you owe IRS before any withholding) mixed up.
So let me try to clear things up here:
If your line 24 is equal or greater than $7500, then you are fully utilizing this EV credit of $7.5k--GREAT Smilie
If your line 24 is less than $7.5k, then you are NOT fully utilizing the $7.5k credit--NOT GREAT Frown DO NOT look at line 37 of your 1040 because your withholding is IRRELEVANT.
TLDR - you want your "total tax" obligation (line 24) to be at least $7500.
Hope this clears the confusions for everyone

Yes, Let me get a Tesla so I can burn to death when the car doors don't unlock. Or not unlock at all because its too cold out. And also have to replace lots of pieces that aren't covered because the quality is crap.
Don't buy a Tesla.
LOL people calling me a Toyota shills for pointing out facts they don't like (even though I drive a Subaru & Mazda and I hate Toyota with a passion due to their ugly cars & markup schemes at all dealership all over the country). It's fact that EVs don't function well in cold weather and long exposure to cold temp will permanently degrade batteries at a faster rate than temperate climate, it is just chemistry. So basically outside of California, it will be either too hot or too cold and it would shorten lifespan of EVs significantly.

About cost to replace batteries, a quick Google can show you the average battery replacement cost. Unless people are too stupid to Google, it's all over the internet how much Tesla is charging for battery replacement. Plenty of posted invoices online about the battery replacement cost + labor. Who are you trying to fool eh ?

If only Tesla went ahead with the quick battery swapping that they demoed a while back, that would make these EVs pretty desirable.

Hey it's your money, just blow it on these EVs and we will check again in a few years eh ? Sometimes in life, you gotta be slapped to learn a lesson or two eh ? There's a reason why Dave Ramsey & the subreddit personalfinance is so popular. People make dumb financial decisions to chase after the coolest and nicest things without considering long term operating costs and it results in debts they can't get out of.

Quote from DoobieBrother :
A study done in Europe indicated that EV's are the least reliable. We don't hear about it because we get official GOVT news. If the truth came out, no one would buy them. A study in California found only 1 in 4 would buy a EV again.

The real missing piece of this puzzle is how in the world can we go to 100% EV when the available required electricity is no where needed to be available to any area of the country. Power plants take 10+ years to develop and the required grid improvements will take that long or longer. As the ever increasing EV's are put on the road another type of energy crisis will naturally occur.

As EV's age battery's will age and fail to offer the range expected and motorists will be stranded on the highway with out a real way to charge on the road. When the gas engine runs out of fuel on the side of the road all you need is your thumb and a gas can.. Every time a EV runs out of juice it is not so easy to deal with.

If you only need 10-100 miles a day, a EV might in deed work for you today, but I fear the uncertain future of the grid to keep up and that spells trouble, socially and economically. Folks will revolt when they realize that it was all a ruse to get us all out of our cars. Yea not paying road taxes is a advantage but if or shall we say when the electricity gets more expensive than the same amount of energy gas gives you, there will be that issue politically. Europe EV charging stations are already more expensive than filling up the tank .

Also the biggest unintended consequence of the grid not being able to keep up is we use electricity for every thing else, so naturally everything else becomes more expensive for everyone. That will make the population very volatile. God help us..
Imagine if people were all like you 100 years ago we would still be riding horses.. cars are no good.. we have no proper roads! Giddy up!

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum. After tax credit, the Model Y will be cheaper. Although, the Highlander has a bit more extra features (some of which I don't really know if I will really need)

I have leased 6 BMW cars before buying my first Tesla Model 3 in 2018. And this past August, I bought 2022 Model Y AWD LR. The build quality was good enough for $55K car. But I bought these 2 Tesla cars because they are so fun to drive and the maintenance cost is so low. Tesla is also the safest car made in USA. https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/956/tesla-model-y-receives-top-safety-score-of-any-vehicle-ever-te... [notateslaapp.com]
That's fair, I just wanted something with solid build quality, not "good enough" quality

Highlander is a lot more roomier and can accommodate more people comfortably. Getting a Tesla is just for having a car with the oomph factor is they sold Model C for this price if would be a deal.
