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)

Quote from snowalker :
With all due respect. I'm a highly educated person with a PhD in physics and I personally know Twitter employees. I make informed judgment. I'm also tired hearing rhetorics like "you are only reading what the media want you to read" like we are all idiots. If we don't read media and use our own judgement then we will be only getting our information either from conspiracy or fantasy. If you look at folks who work with you, how many do you think are incompetent? In my case, 80%. Do you think they should all be gone and drive a Uber of deliver food instead? Who is going to consume to keep the economy going? Maybe we do let go a few now and then, but not 70%. This CEO handles his employees like tools, his action is damaging his own business and people who work for him. I won't ask any one to boycott Tesla, but I also want people to know my concern and that I'm not a maniac.

I'm surprised such a highly educated person never heard of the Peter Principal.

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
You are awesome 👍

Already have a Model X (and don't qualify for tax credit) but man this deal is actually slick now.

I actually wonder how long this can last. Tesla's not going to be able go keep up with incoming demand at this price point.

New York resident here. Are we still good for $500 state rebate on Model 3's?

Also, does anyone have a thought to share about depreciation on the Model 3 Performance? I'm hoping it holds value better than the base and LR but I can't find data on it.

My biggest problem is the cheap build of Tesla. The interiors are poor and not luxurious for 50k car compared to merc or bmw EVs.
I agree, but the merc and bmw EVs are no much higher priced and/or have a much worse range

Never owned a Tesla but thinking of buying one. Watched a lot of good reviews on YouTube.....came across this one below. Is this just a once off or does it happen more than folks are aware? It shows Tesla stopping for no apparent reason on fast lane on highway and causing a pileup.

You'd have to have the mom register it in the moms name, then transfer/sell/gift it to your wife later. The mom would get the credit and have to give you the cash.

Please stop posting false information. Insurance for EV is about the same as ICE cars

I've owned a Bolt and Leaf and was not much more than my Civic and Suburban.
