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)

if we get finance to purchase the car, do we still get 7500 providing we own 7500+ in taxes ? or does 7500 ev credit goes to the bank who owns the car ?
The bank doesn't own the car, you do. You get the credit. The bank has a security interest in the car in case you fail to pay them back.

whoever buys the car is the person getting the registration. what you're doing is cheating on taxes.. you're not married .. if u were married u can both be on name n benefit the tax credit.
Married filling separately is not cheating. Married filling jointly makes me out of 300k bracket so there is nothing wrong with married filing separately makes sense to me.

The reason I'm asking because I don't want to cheat IRS and don't want to find out while filling that I can not put car purchase under her tax returns last moment.

And yes I'm married, this is Slickdeals not Tinder to lie about that 😃

I'm not a Tesla lover or hater. Rear seat belt faster is not the going to prevent him from missing out of work. Just saying that wait times and parts shortages for issues relating to the drive ability of the vehicle can take weeks/months in some instances.
The much more likely problem is charging failure when away from home. It's now more likely that you won't be able to charge then that you will have an incident free journey. People don't understand that because they're used to gas stations everywhere. It's a giant wake-up call to pull up to an EA location and the two chargers aren't functioning. You're completely out of luck and looking for a motel. Look across the parking lot and see 8 Superchargers ready to go. There's no ev other than Tesla which you can rely on in the US. Even the EA and EVgo sites are not up-to-date and reliable enough to plan a journey to visit your family over the holidays. Plug Share helps and Rate Your Charge.

i see no reason for the person whos within bracket to buy and have it registered on their name.. its not like u can't drive the car if it isn't on your name... sounds like youre trying to weasel out of your way for something you're not qualified for.

married couple are 300k bracket... if you both are above.. then you arent qualified.. go read the irs requirement .

Bump if any one knows the answer
Elon is extremely against friends and family getting discount so his policy is everyone pays full price. Don't bother asking.

I took a test drive today, the auto brake really makes me sick, the road noise is very bad, interior is not that impressive and not as roomy as I image, I like the cameras and big screen, I feel I can get a better car with 55k cash

"the auto brake really makes me sick"

I have been driving around my Model 3 for four years. Auto brake has not engaged once.

[Edit. It just occurred to me that you are talking about one pedal driving. Umm.. You can turn that off so the car drives like a regular gas car. Many of us love the one pedal driving.]

"I feel I can get a better car with 55k cash"

53K - 7.5K tax credit. And for some states like Oregon, another 2.5K state tax credit. Total 43K for the Model Y. What new car can you get for 43K that is a better value? Genuinely curious.
