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)

Do not accept until you've inspected everything about the car (bad paint, misaligned panels, matching tires, missing trim pieces). They have the worst service experience if you need to bring the car in: no Uber credits, no loaner car, weeks out appointment). If anything is wrong that's major you're walking home after dropping off your car and not seeing it for a week to a month.
Take magnifying glass to check the corners and edges for correct paint work etc. even you can try the dead pixels or other invisible issues. They may feel annoyed but its your car at the end of the day.

It's hilarious (but unsurprising) that congress hyped up this EV tax credit, only to end up making it worse in more ways than they made it better. Yeah, Teslas are eligible again, which is good, but they made the price limits of the vehicles so low (55k for cars and 80k for SUVs and trucks) that barely any of the vehicles qualify.
Disagree. This $55,000 price ceiling has exposed these products as being overpriced, and they are now coming back down to reality. Tesla and other EV producers have already profited heavily off the backs of our taxes through direct subsidy anyways. Also, the goal is to make EV's affordable to the middle class, not subsidize the wealthy.

I think EV are over priced too. But are they overpriced if people are lining up to buy them?
I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Subsidies on the backs of tax payers are the fault of your representatives in public office. Vote them out if you're not happy with their decisions.
I'd love that. We've got some real Boneheads in office right now, that's for sure.

So why is it named FULL SELF DRIVING? Do words have no meaning anymore? Am I crazy?

FULL SELF DRIVING is not full-self driving if it requires driver intervention. That is my point. I don't care if you call it BETA, if you are charging $15k for it, then it is false advertising. False advertising is against the law.

I am not taking away the driver's responsibility here. I am also not going to ignore Tesla's responsibility to not name something that is clearly not full-self driving.

Also "likely" and "is" are not the same. There is not enough info to make a determination on the cause of this crash at the moment.
Adaptive Cruise Control requires full driver supervision.
Lane Keeping often fails, but it's not named Mostly Lane Keeping.
Automatic Seatbelts required people to buckle up the lap belt.
Automatic wipers/lights fail to autimatically wipe.
List goes on.

It's just a name. No system is infallible, it's onto the buyer to read the fine print. Personally, I would be fine with basic Autopilot.

Can someone explain if I go over $55,000, I do not qualify for the $7,500 tax credit?

Getting White + 20" wheel + White interior = $55,990.

1) Can I get the 19" wheels and then later change them to 20" ?
2) What do ya think about the white seats?

completely NOOB question here but I really like the collision avoidance system in Tesla (where it can stop and move on itself to avoid danger). I am looking to buy a car with this kind of technology (any brand, electric or gas).
I know other car makers have it too but I only see youtube videos of Tesla in real-world situations. How do I get more in depth info? Or if anyone here has these kinds of cars and have seen them in action can you give me feedback? thank you!

oh I agree. Just pointing out that the Model 3 of which Elon says is for the masses, and the government says the tax credit is to help average families buy a car, doesn't really do that.

It's a EV version of the Camry really.

Average couples make that much, per stats. Although minimum wage workers are catching them slowly.

Nissan propilot assist and Toyota safety sense and Hyundai highway drive assist, Ford bluecruise, gm supercruise, Honda driver assist. All literally do the same as Tesla Autopilot and does it more competently without phantom braking. Also come with ultrasonic sensors which Tesla removed to cut costs. Tesla's system gets the hype because YouTube creators want to rack up views but they actually have a pretty mediocre system. Look up any of the systems I've listed and you'll see Tesla's system is probably ranked 3rd or 4th when it comes to driver assists.

FSD is all hype and will probably lead to many deaths if not used correctly

If something is overpriced (unless it's a necessity like epi-pen), generally speaking it won't sell and will sit on the shelf.

Yet for the past two years, not only has every EV manufactured sold, but often with massive dealer markups and add-ons.

And, FWIW, Tesla prices are still higher than they were than in early 2021. I've had numerous people ask me if they should buy a Tesla now...and none of these people qualify for any tax incentives.

So what does "Beta" mean? People think Tesla is a software/tech company so that's why I threw out the software "Beta" analogy.

My understanding of "Beta" is a product/software that is close to production but still has kinks or bugs that need to be figured out through quality assurance.

Are we on the same page?

Tesla is CURRENTLY charging customers $15k for a "Beta" product that is nowhere near production ready while naming it FULL SELF DRIVING. I think that is false advertising.

Do we need to define false advertising as well? Do we need to define what FULL, SELF, and DRIVING as well?

It's marketing wank.
The term "Beta" does not and should not be construed to constitute a promise that it is "close" to being complete. Some things stay in beta for a very long time, usually correlating to how difficult the complete final execution is—and I can't think of much that's more difficult than Full Self Driving.

A better argument in that direction would be Elon's repeated wildly inaccurate predictions of when it WILL be complete, which I understand people being upset over. That said, those also don't rise to the level of false advertising and were the result of excitement and naïveté rather than an intentional effort to mislead people.
