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)

I like Tesla's; but you can get TWO updated 2023 Toyota Corolla's *or* two 2023 Honda Civics for the same price. And no amount of Tesla 0-60 or no-gas savings beat a pair of aces. Yes two whole cars for your family to drive.

https://www.consumerreports.org/b...288866980/

If a good new Tesla was only a few thousand more ($29K?) then price (with fuel saving) would be equal to one of the pair. And I would jump all over it.

And I think Tesla has overcome a lot of unfair anti-competitive resistance; making them cost to much.
Instead of 2 Corollas, why not get 20 horses? You can have your whole family, extended family, friends, all saving money by riding your horses.

After 3 delays by Tesla, I canceled my 11/2021 order in October when they started to harass me to pick up the car after just one week notice. Told the cocky ass "rep" to go eat a "dck" and took a $250 write off. Was pissed but now it's peanut compared to what you guys lost. The last straw with Tesla for me was driving a friend's model 3 in seattle and it started dumping rain while i had to fiddled around dangerously on the freeway blind trying to located and press the farking wiper mode function on the screen.
Who cares dude

Did you see the $2k charge up incentive credit in your initial order agreement (I believe that is the first "thank you for your order" email)? I order mine but I do not see the $2k credit but my process has not gotten to the final payment part yet.
You will see as part of the final payment.

Haha funny you referred to a non-California state as a s******* state. That's hilarious.

Everyone here knows California is the s******* state. And that has nothing to do with politics. It's a s*** hole.

When people are leaving a state and drove, I can only draw one conclusion:. It's a s******* state

Anyone know if NC offers any further incentives to junk my ICE or buy EV. Can't seem to find anything but the federal credit. Wishing they had something like NJ does.

The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years. So this means this is not good for people get refund.

what does line 24 say on your 1040... if its higher than 7500.. you're gona maximized it.. and ffs.. read the pages.. stop being lazy or search bar
Or giving bad advice. You do NOT take line 24. Per form 8936, The starting point is line 18.

Row 20: Enter the amount from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 18 . . . . . . .
Row 21: Personal credits from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR (see instructions) . . . .
Row 22: Subtract line 21 from line 20. If zero or less, enter -0- and stop here. You cannot claim the personal use part of the credit

It has nothing to do with whether you get a refund or not

It's your total federal income tax that has to be over 7500 to get the full credit

I ordered one that was in inventory Friday morning around 830am. Two hours later all the inventory cars in NJ below 55k ( for NJ rebate) were gone. LR Model Y, midnight gray, black and white interior. 54600 NJ rebate of 2k, no sales tax for EV in NJ. Out of pocket $8250. Leased ( I don't qualify for credit due to MAGI limits). $505 a month. I pick it up 10 hours from now. Also the residual on the lease is 37k (though no option to buy). So it seems they lowered residual proportionately with discount.
Oh nice, so you selected from available inventory and that sped it up, makes sense.

I was in a rush and did the "Order Now", so I am assuming mine has to be built. Oh man, hope it doesn't take too long. I also ordered mine on Friday before noon. By time I checked the inventory later that afternoon, all the model Y < 55k were gone.
