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)

Not a Tesla hater or fan but as a principle, paying > 50K or even > 45K for a car is criminal IMO if you are serious about saving money. Plenty of great cars for < 40K - even electric ones. I would also check the insurance rates for the car you're looking at - in general, more expensive car means more expensive insurance as well. The Chevy Bolt and Bolt EUV (yes, I know about the recall - I just had my leased Bolt fixed for both of them. What's your point?) are great electric cars to look at if you want Electric but not a huge markup. That said, to each their own - I understand a car is more than just a tool/machine that takes you from one place to another for many folks. But it is the easiest way to save money in terms of a common big ticket item where most people end up overspending.
Some people don't need to save money anymore. In that case, a car is a good place to spend money on.

We went ahead and pulled the trigger. Model Y in blue with the tow hitch. Went ahead and financed with Tesla to streamline things, but will hit up one of the credit unions offering 2.75 to 2.99% once the dust settles. Now I'm on Amazon adding accessories to my cart (floor/cargo mats, center console organizer, Spigen matte glass screen protector (works wonders in my Model 3).
What credit union did you find at under 3%?
Mine is at 6% but am looking for better.

Yep, recent 20% price drop boosted tesla resale value by 30%. Teslanomics.
Proportionate to its current MSRP, Teslas do have (and always have had) the highest resale value. Modern EVs in general have great resale value because there are fewer moving parts to break down and need replacing.

Of course a price cut on a new car will cause used counterparts of the same model to drop in price similarly. That's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Teslas purchased before the price increases are probably the only mass-market cars in history to have their used value actually go up from the cost when they were purchased, because of the price raises, and now that prices have lowered back to near what they had initially been this reversed.

Neither that sudden appreciation nor this sudden depreciation is relevant to how well they hold their value in general. While it's certainly possible that they may lower prices again in the future, it won't be for quite a while—between this price cut and the tax credit, it's likely that they have more than enough demand for both Austin and Berlin to reach 100% production capacity, so I doubt we'll see prices drop until their next gigafactory starts ramping up at the earliest.

What do you consider as futuristic? The new BMW X7 with that crazy rear seat display...is probably the one I saw being the most.

Buddy, nobody drops the price by 20% when they can't satisfy demand.

What does clean and pretty have to do with a bad UI?!?! I don't mind a screen but SOME buttons makes things easier to use WHILE DRIVING!! Which is the main point of cars!!
Also are you 10 years old?? Reading your replies is hurting my brain!!

I'm going to have to at least partially agree with the critic here. I think Tesla's UI is very good, but there are things I would much rather have actual buttons for (AC is the one that comes to mind immediately) to make them easier and simpler to use while driving.

That said, adjusting mirrors is absolutely not one of them. That being in the touchscreen UI 100% makes sense.

why such hate for cars heavily discount that cost cheaper than ice cars that dealers won't budge 15k mark up?
I was wondering the same thing. I guess there are just a lot of Tesla haters just as much as there are fanboys. I'm neither, and just concluded for myself that the Model Y with these incentives is a better value in my current situation compared to the other ICE car I was considering.

Wouldn't buy this if it was the last yuppie car on earth for that price. The rise 40% in electric bills and the costs to fix this pos you are not saving a farking cent on gas. Also you are not saving our planet. In fact the making of a lithium ion battery puts worse chemicals in our air than fuel makes me sick that they think they are doing a favor. Good luck going from NY to FL in one of these. I have seen some scary videos. California ppl are cutting the charger cables. No one can afford this shit! U will see when you are 10th in line x2-3hrs per car. Smd

Let's save gas $ but spike the price of electric 40% in 1 year then. If you want to save money go buy a $16k brand new Ford eco

You are a bunch of YUPPIES!!!

The facts of their sales numbers show you're wrong. ~30% YoY growth last quarter with a ~30% YoY price increase, and between this price cut and Tesla no longer being excluded from the tax credit demand will be much MUCH higher than it already was.
