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)

It said Tesla doesn't qualify.
That's in the past. Given new lower prices - Model 3 and Y qualify for the rebate once more.

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.

Tesla and EV producers are not profiting heavily on EVs. The EV market is not profitable. EV makers are struggling to turn a profit and on their cheapest models are losing money or breaking even at best. There are a number of factors for this, but the main ones are R&D costs, materials costs, and scales of production. The subsidies you speak of are necessary in order for EV companies to stay afloat while continuing to drive forward this emerging market.

And this price cap is not going to lower the prices for EVs as a whole. All it will do is severely limit not only the options available to people who want the credit, but leave them with only the bare bottom models with the fewest options. Look at ford. The Standard model Mach-E qualifies, but nobody wants that model because of lack of range and options. The most basic Premium model is also available, but only if you get the base model, which again, is standard range - very few people actually want that version of the Premium. In the end, the consumer is left with the choice of purchasing an EV that doesn't have the features they want but will still be more expensive than an ICE with superior features, just so that they can recoup some of that price premium via tax credit, or they can just buy the ICE that they want with more features.

Who gives a crap about leatherette when you have to recall due to rollaway issues(Ford) and engine fire (BMW) and that's recent

Point is all car manufacturers have issues at some point. You have to look at the big picture. If you want electric and performance, Tesla is a good choice considering the current price.

Does this mean I can not add 20" induction wheels on model Y, which will exceed the $55000 limit?
As a Tesla owner (M3SR+), the Y already has fairly poor ride...probably the worst of all the Teslas. Why do you want to make it worse by adding larger tires? And reduce range? And pay more...which is definitely not a SD move...you won't get that money back when you eventually get rid of the car. Plus tires will be pricier.

Without the larger wheels it's the ugliest car on sale. Seriously hideous

Quote from SharpArm7549 :
Comparing FSD to two products that were actually fake is pretty disingenuous. Nikola and Theranos never even took the first step towards being able to do the things they claimed. FSD is 90% functional, we just have absolutely no idea how long it will take to nail down that last 10%. It will happen, though.
What is disingenuous is promoting non-working things like robotaxis, falsely named FSD, and false timelines that get baked into Tesla's stock price. He is selling dreams that do not exist but charging for it. Yeah, it's a growth company and all that but a bunch of it hinges on his wild promises and missed projections.

So while he may not be a full-on Trevor Milton, he certainly is in the ballpark. Milton sold Nikola stocks to fund his lifestyle while lying about Nicola, Elon sold Tesla shares to fund his adventures while hyping up Tesla features/use cases that are not even close to completion or won't even know if it will ever be complete. Give it a bit more time and I think the similarities will be a bit more obvious.

Elon does not have the best interest of the shareholders or the earth/mars or whatever he keeps stammering on about. Tesla is at a point in its history where these types of behavior should not be tolerated because he is playing with other people's money.

LOL BMW "engine fire" that was first observed in 2019 and involved 2006-2013 built engine is "recent". What are you smoking? Tesla wouldn't even honor such long dated fixes.

Hell Tesla is denying replacement of the faux pleather interior for cars well inside the vehicles warranty....

Doubtful, given how little you seem to understand about them.

Stock price fluctuations are driven by what people want to buy them for and what people want to sell them for. The degree of correlation this has to the company's sales numbers or overall financials varies widely.

Can you clarify, are you saying that you think the official sales numbers are false? Are you saying that you think Teslas weren't more expensive in 2022 than they were in 2021?? Also, what payments? WTF are you talking about?
Buy high sell low?

Seriously for some people wheel is more important than the car. It's like paint on the house.

Same reason GM is down 40% and F is down 50% over the same time period (last year)?

Except… those stocks didn't go up 1100% over the previous 2 years before that like TSLA did. If you're not familiar with stocks, they tend to bounce back after an extreme move in either direction, so the pullback from that huge run up also played a big part.

Also, what do you mean "if"? These are real, easily verifiable numbers. There is no question that Tesla is doing "that good".
BitCoin is also up 1100% over previous 2 years and it's actual value is $0. Speculative investing has zero investment fundamentals.

As we have already discovered in this topic it's not about the car, it's about hype.

And what hype can you have with 18" tires for the public which measures net worth by a car? None.

They are still recalling them as they can't resolve them after so long

But that's not my point. My point is all car manufacturers have some issues. Just because Tesla has leatherette and gap issues, you can't discount them.
