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)

Quote from Dystien :
It looks like california buyers may benefit by waiting until Feb 28. Right now we get $4,500 CVRP rebate + $7500 tax credit. After Feb 28, it may be $7,500 rebate plus $7,500 tax credit for a total of $15,000 discount.

Summary of February 28, 2023 updates:

Applications must be submitted within 90 calendar days of purchase or lease to be eligible for a rebate. Previously this was stated as 3 months.

In addition to the standard CVRP rebate, consumers with household income less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount of $5,500 (previously $2,500) for BEVs and PHEVs, and $3,000 (previously $2,500) for FCEVs. This amounts to:

$7,500 for fuel cell electric vehicles (previously $7,000)
$7,500 for battery-electric vehicles (previously $4,500)
$6,500 for plug-in hybrid vehicles (previously $3,500)
Need them to update and include Tesla in the CVRP eligiblity.

As per my understanding, If you don't get the delivery by March 31st, then you wouldn't qualify for $7500 tax credit.
But the IRS website doesnt show any such deadlines. The deadline only listed on Tesla website. So honestly, I dont know.

Exactly IRS doesn't mention March 31st. I hope I get it delivered by March 31st else I need to think if I need to keep it or cancel it

Quote from cheema :
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.
Relevance to underlying business LMAO I needed that laugh.

Society has to decide for itself what has value and what does not.

New inventory popping up. I am confident if you order within this month you'll easily get delivered by March.

It would be great if you provided *any* evidence of the MSRP actually being offered.
Current pricing is for Jerry's Toyota PMA (Primary Market Area which includes zip codes: 21234, 21236, 21237, 21206, 21220, 21128, 21239, 21286, 21214, 21221, 21212, 21218, 21057, 21087, 21162, 21082, 21027, 21092, 21139, 21251, 21284, 21131, 21204) residents only. For out of PMA residents please visit our showroom for pricing.

Says right on the page. It's MSRP pricing for locals in their area.

If I found that dealer with 5 seconds of searching, I bet I can find out close to you that does the same thing.

How confident are you about the 7-Passenger, because all of the one's I've seen popping up are 5s not 7s.

$4,500 is reserved for fuel cell cars not bevs like Tesla. We're hoping to just get $2000 back like previously. Can you source your information of the possible increase ?

Tesla removed themselves from the group. It is their job to get approved again, it isn't just a website update.

Thank you for your reply. Seven seaters are not in inventory list. If I don't qualify for $7500 I would like to go with 5 seater and the delivery date for 5 seater is before March. Whom should I contact to know this better.
You can change your configuration as long as you haven't been assign a VIN# yet. I changed my config multiple times after preordering. I didn't get my VIN until a couple days before picking up my vehicle.

Now they have been assigning VIN right away. I ordered on Friday, and was assigned it within hours, even though my delivery is scheduled for March.

Have you tried changing your configuration even though you've received your VIN? I wonder if it even lets you attempt to change it
