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)

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.
That's only 20 horsepower though vs 300+ hp for 2 corollas

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.
Seems like inventory is added daily. I just refreshed the Tesla site and there's more 52k non long range available to buy. I just ordered my long distance model Y last night and I'm excited

What's the difference when other car manufactures come out with a better model the next year? Happens all the time and guess what? People still buy the earlier model due to the discount. I did this with my Pathfinder knowing a new redesigned model will come out next year. The price is why i bought it.

True but it's quite easy to have $7500 of tax liability.
A single filing person grossing 100k on a w2, no dependents, using standard deduction, even after maxing out pretax401k/hsa/healthcare deductions should still easily owe around 10k in federal taxes

Please explain how I get a $4000 rebate . Isn't NJ just $2000?

Also, does it come straight off the purchase price?
It is 4K if MRSP <=45K then 2k if it is between 45K and 55K.

:'-( Spare me, anyone paying 50-80k for a car is probably paying more than most in taxes. Sales tax alone on a 50k car is ~3500, then you have plate / registration fees every year. That 7500 is basically moving from federal to state coffers. 40% of the population pay no taxes at all. People buying EVs are not the tax burden you may think they are.
People spending 80k on a car don't need any tax credits. Period. It's a waste of money that could go towards something else.

Can you explain why it's $4k and not the listed $2k

Also how does the rebate apply, it comes off the cost of the car?

Last- is it just if you lay all up front, or even if you finance it?
it is automatically applied when i got to around the pay scree and customize how much exactly you want to put down. Suddenly the amount i had to put down decreased $2k (since my car was between 45 and 55k. I was leasing but should nbe no reason for it not to work that way for finance., Now that i have the lease paperwork it is a line in part that shows the reductions to price like deposit and trade-in value.

I have ordered Model Y 7 seater and delivery date is between Feb and April. If it delivered in April, will I still qualify for $7500 Fed incentive or the delivery need to be before March 2023?

This is indeed a great deal and I would have certainly bought one if we were under the 300k income limit. I am glad you all are so keen on buying it - dealerships have been ripping people off the past year and all the increased sales of Tesla 3/Y will help normalize prices from other companies sooner. F*** you honda/toyota/others.
