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)

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.
I have checked with more than 10 friends who switched to Tesla and have clean records. They echo the same. I drive a 2021 5 Series and a highlander & I pay around 800$ for 6 months for both the cars. When I got the insurance quote for Model S, they gave me 3.2K just for that car.

Insurance cost are based on the cars cost (value). The Model S cost more than the model 3
Depending on what year Model S you are looking at. Always submit the VIN for proper quote also is what my agent stated.

because model S is a 100k car! insurance is different for a 50k car.

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.

Teslas aren't magic, and can't stop an idiot from hitting the brakes and getting rear ended.

There is literally no reason to think this accident had anything to do with FSD, autopilot, or anything other than driver stupidity. Incompetent drivers have learned that when they cause an accident in a Tesla, the media is all to happy to help them sell the lie that it was somehow the car's fault. Out of all the accidents we've seen stupid headlines blame on Tesla, that has literally never been shown to be the case by any real evidence.

The others are either 50% lower form actual or are not needed at all.

Do you even know the people who got pink slips? Do you know what it used to take even to get a twitter interview? It's so easy to write a sentence to degrade their years of hard work. I have been in software engineering for 15+ years and have worked for the giants like Amazon, Apple, Netflix. I had friends who worked there. And they are one of the smartest people in the industry.
Layoffs don't work like what you think most of the times. And at Twitter these absolutely didn't. We as human beings are naturally biased and fallible. On top of that whims of an impulsive, narcissistic egocentric person were involved.

If they are the smartest people in the industry, they should have no problem at all getting another job. That is if they are willing to go to the office and actually work.

Otherwise, bundle up for the tech winter.

I mentioned this before in another post in this monster thread (is it close to breaking an SD record?), but I had "phantom braking" issues with my 2020 Model 3 and standard Autopilot. It didn't happen all the time, and it usually seemed to be triggered by shadows cast by overhead passes, light poles, or 18 wheelers. It would not come to a complete stop but it would brake hard enough I thought I would get rear ended. After a few instances of this happening, I started only using Autopilot in light traffic with no one behind me.

You don't need to change anything in ICE car during the course of warranty other than oil comparing to Tesla. That's $400 for a normal car, and $2000 for Porsche (unless DIY which brings it back to $400).

What tesla fanbois don't like to admit is that tesla's maintenance schedule is pretty much the same as any ICE car other than oil change.

I clearly do work on cars and usually get 200k plus miles. The manufacturer recommendations are good for some things, but not others. Any Ford owner who does not change the PTO fluid every 30k is a Fool. You probably believe in lifetime fluids and don't work on cars! This is real life experience not something you just pull from an owners manual that only cares about the first 100K miles of a car and doesn't want to disclose the actual maintenance needed to easily make it ti to 200k miles and beyond. Now tell me again who doesn't work on cars? Know your vehicle. know its weaknesses, and address them.

Quote from robby818 :
With the $7500 discount and free supercharger miles and also factoring in that Tesla increased the destination fee by $190 and is now charging $1000 for the grey paint option ( no charge option in December), we would have saved about $2,800 before taxes and fees, so roughly $3,000. We are not eligible for the tax rebate so that was never a consideration for us. I would be more upset if we were eligible for the tax rebate bec then we would have missed out on ~$11,000.

It is not the end of the world, it just takes some of the shine off a new car purchase that's all.
No matter how much you make, and no matter what you say, if you are on slick deals and got robbed for $3000, that hurts. That will bother you. Every time you get in that car you will be reminded that you overpaid. Wait until they lower the price again in March if the tax credit is cut in half.

$35K will be the price by 2024 OTD, POS.

Lol you are making things up as you go chief. My garage has it's own lift and for past two decades the only one that work on my cars is me. And I have yet to buy a brand new car.

I can make my own maintenance internals too:

-Tesla needs new battery every 60k
-Tesla needs new heat pump every 100k
-Tesla needs cooling system flush every 20k

You replace those if you are not a fool
