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)

The amount of accidents being caused by full self driving capability- I would stay away even if they give it for free. Did you read about the complete stop on bay bridge?
The amount of accidents caused by FSD is zero.

No matter how much the media tries to spin it, all evidence points to this case being the same as every other time someone has tried to blame Tesla for them causing a crash—extreme negligence by the driver.

One of the very few benefits of living in NJ!

I am looking into EV chargers and see that there are several incentives at the state level. A NJ state incentive of $250 for purchasing an approved charger; and a utility incentive of up to $1,500 for installing the approved charger. The Tesla charger is not approved as it does not share charging data with the utility, so might have to go with the approved ones, like the Juicebox Enel X models (~$650).

There is also a 30% federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act towards the cost of hardware and installation, up to $1,000. Wonder if the state incentive of $250 and the federal tax credit of 30% can be combined for the Juicebox charger.
Yes can be combined. They are separate program. You just have to apply through PSEG EV program. I got JuiceBox from Costco. It's great so far but that PSEG EV program application was a bit of a PIA. Took a few weeks to get all sorted out. Good luck.

They are indeed putting 4680 in Austin-built model Ys. But those have lower range/less power due to the energy density of the 4680s.

Yes, the goal is to use 4680s in all Tesla models. But that could take a decade, and lots of refinement/optimizations.
Actually, the 4680 are supposed to be better. Tesla rebuilt the battery tech from the ground up with it, it would be kinda stupid for them to build a lower range battery. It's supposed to increase range significantly.

"Tesla promised that the 4680 cells would mean more power and increase range and longevity."

Does anyone have a list of things that current Model Y Performance has.

Like, recently they downgraded rear Brembo performance brakes on Y to small brakes with a big red cover.
Parking sensors, I understand those were removed.

What else? Is there a list?
i think parking sensors and seat lumbar support are the two big ones

That's fair, I just wanted something with solid build quality, not "good enough" quality
Let me say it in a way that can help you understand. The built quality passed for someone who once leased 6 BMWs in a row. I actually like Tesla seats much better. I feel less tired after a long distance drive. But what's most important to me is the performance and safety. My Tesla can pretty much do a circle around most BMWs. That instant torque from Tesla is so much better than BMW engine that has to rev for a couple seconds before it responds. Also Tesla's premium audio is so much better than the premium Harmon Kardon audio system that was in my 2019 BMW X3 Executive Package. Let's not even talk talk about the infotainment system. Tesla's bigger screen is so much better and responsive than BMW screen. Yeah...I don't miss my BMW. Maybe the service department because they gave good snacks and drinks. LMAO

Give it time. Today, in 2023, the 4680s provide less range than the equivalent 2170s.

I paid MSRP with a 3 month wait on my RAV4 Prime XSE PP. Quit spitting false info.
that's absolutely not the norm for the prime in any large city

in cali, it's either 2+ year wait for MSRP, and only 1 dealer in socal does it, their list isn't even open anymore

or $8,000-15,000 markup, they still sell quickly

NO DEALER will willingly sell at msrp with such high demand

you must live is a rural or extremely low demand area

The EV tax credit is still worth up to $7,500 and will be renewed to abide by the following guidelines in January of 2023 and will last for ten years through 2032. As many are noticing, due to inflation, there are currently few electric vehicles on the market which qualify for the credit due to the pricing restriction. Here are the key points of the Clean Vehicle Credit as part of the new bill set to go into effect in 2023:

The credit is now claimed upfront or at the point of sale, going towards the cost of the car; this means the credit will paid in advance and is fully refundable. Qualified EV dealers and salespersons are to address the value of the allowed credit for the vehicle(s) in question prior to the sale. This means the EV tax credit can be used in the form of cash or as a partial payment or down payment towards the vehicle.
If you claim the credit when buying the vehicle and were ineligible for it or your tax refund is subject to recapture, you may end up paying this credit back. In other words, advance payments of this credit are treated in the same manner as a tax refund would be treated.
