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 โ€” which is described in filings as "76-77 GHz Automotive Radar" โ€” 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)

I wonder if there's a strategy to order a color other than white to make sure you get the car before the tax credit might expire.

And why are any of the "stocks" worth what they are?

Could it be because that's what people are willing to pay for it?

Go on...we're all listening how you justify this glorious ponzi equity market we all buy into.
A company's stock could be overvalued or undervalued at any given time. That fact can be debated. But it has some relevance to underlying business. Apple for example makes money by selling products people want to buy. That creates value.

Sh*tcoins on the other hand are straight up large scale Ponzi schemes. Your profits depend entirely on finding another greater fool to pay even more for imaginary tokens than you did. The reason it hasn't completely collapsed yet is because the supply of fools is far greater than anybody imagined.

If your looking for an F150 lightnings, there's a NJ dealer with a few Lariats on the lot (75-96k). I jumped off the f150 waitlist after the last price increase.

What's the point in drag racing an SUV designed to off-road against 2 that are very much not?

Also why would you post a video without any Teslas in it when your entire purpose in life is whining about Teslas? Oh, it's because the Porsche winsโ€”and if it was racing a Model X, it wouldn't have.

Not really seeing any of those "honest reviews" you claim, mainly just people who haven't driven one and never will exaggerating things they've heard, repeating things that were true once years ago as current facts, and straight-up lying.

My girlfriend tried very hard to purchase an F-150 Lightning. But between Ford increasing prices and dealers getting very greedy with insane markups, we finally gave up. The last dealer we talked to who had one in stock, wanted $100K for a trim that did not even have the long range. When we complained about the massive markup, he said he might be able to knock down a grand or two. Beyond ridiculous.

She placed an order for a Tesla Model Y today.

Supposedly Walnut Creek delivers more Lightnings than any dealership in the country.

I probably should have (exited) already, they make you go thru dealer to be taken off list, it's all comical at this point. I will say... the idea of having so much powerwall on wheels was novel & neat. Ford is competely incompetent on this delivery & so I'm eyeballing a cvna Tahoe.

You're mostly right when it comes to shitcoins (i.e. cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin, or arguably Ethereum) but I hope you aren't counting Bitcoin in that category because I don't have the time to explain how wrong that is (and this thread is already derailed enough).

Ugh. The dealership model is an albatross around the necks of the legacy automotive industry.

I hope Ford and GM are able to ramp up their EV production faster in the future. More competition will be good for the industry, but they've put themselves in an extremely bad position by waiting so long to take this market segment seriously.

Have a Silverado EV reservation at the moment, but chances are it will be the same siht show. Agree on the powerwall but I decided on a cheapo generator instead. The cost to update my electrical panel for powerwall costs too much.

I would never spend $100k for an F-150. You can get a fully loaded three quarter ton for under $100k last time I checked around covid 2020. Diesel engine and all the creature comforts in the cab.
