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 The_Doug :
The charging network is a pretty big kicker though. I think when the EV6 is $20k cheaper and you can get one right away, instead of several months out after it's built, that's easily true. When they're the same price, I'm not sure what advantages the EV6 has over a Model Y, which is why the Model Y price had to drop a lot.
which market do u live in that u can buy ev6 20k cheaper.. all the dealers in bay area cali are scalping 10-15k above msrp

Judging by the amount of sales and people lining up to test drive, it looks like a bunch of people are purchasing, and I have serious doubt there will be any/much regret. Certainly no more than any other car dealer in the same price range.
other when march kicks in n the tax window is out n all the japan/korean ice car buys are crying about paying 5-10k markup on gas cars that cost just as much as a base tesla 3.

Quote from TheKingofDeals :
Hmm thanks for mentioning Juno. I was planning on just paying cash.
What is the interest rate for financing that Tesla is charging? I wonder if I put $25K in the Juno (@5%) and finance the $25k from Tesla if might be more worthwhile rather than paying for it all up front ? Haven't taken an auto loan in sometime but figured there has to be other fees in there some where for them to profit.
its the same in the end.. if u can finance at 5% or lower. do it and throw the 47k into a 5% savings and you'll get more in the end due to compounding interested over the life term of the loan

People that compare Honda CRV/Civic and Corolla to Model Y should just get a bike. It's a cheaper transportation if that's all they are looking for
What else do you want to compare Tesla to, buddy? Porsche and Aston Martin? LMAO

I myself bought a seven seater on Sat night with delivery between Feb-Apr. Anyone with seven seater got any exact confirmed delivery date who bought earlier than me.
No date yet, I also ordered Model Y 7 seater

keyword might.. and then again i guess slickdealers are already first in line on their truck reservation and forgo any tax incentives.. trucks tax credit is 80k ceiling.. we dont know the battery guidance yet and dont expect cyber truck to be at 40k..

if you're rich... u wouldn't care if it has tax credit or not.

Even though it may appear that all the Model Y's that are < $55k are no longer in inventory, it may be a good idea to check once in a while. I happened to look in my area and found a new 2023 Model Y STANDARD RANGE on the inventory web page. I ordered one. If 270 miles per full charge, and 5s 0-60mph time, is good enough for you, then this may be a good option. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that they still add to the inventory and < $55k could still pop up.

inventory is updated daily due to outgoing deliveries that tesla has been doing.. the factory is cranking out in full force...


THIS PRICE REDUCTION IS VERY GOOOD FOR THE MARKET....
it forces all brands to either match tesla or have cars collecting dust while they pay floor rent interest

For those that don't follow Tesla closely, those 269mi Standard Range are Model Ys that are built in Austin. They have 4680 cell battery design, new single-cast front and rear sub-frames and should be a great car for anyone looking to save even more vs. a LR Model Y (those are built both in Fremont and Austin, and you can't tell where until you get a VIN).

Reluctant to throw kindling on this, but Musk has captured a very popular piece of a forum that has become functionally integrated into the public square. He's actively silencing those who criticize him on Twitter, further announcing his autocratic and dictatorial predilections to everyone who hadn't been so informed by his Covid-era behavior towards his Tesla employees. This goes far beyond "mere" political donations and base-covering.

Probably to the good, though, as it illustrates the risk we all run by tolerating the private ownership of public necessities. It doesn't matter what your political inclinations may be if your freedom to participate in politics is arbitrarily denied. We should all come to one another's defense to prevent that from happening.
I actually respect well thought out replies like this and wouldn't actual mock a post like this one. It has a level of civility to it that should be accepted. That said, I agree witht the latter but disagree with the premise (aka Twitter Files, Re-instated Journalist bans, keep ban in place for Alex Jones, bans kanye's twitter over swastika post, "Twitter is a private company and can do whatever it wants" (CNN take when it banned former president trump) , etc..).

There are EV tax rebates on used cars now. You can pick up a used Nissan or Chevy EV pretty cheap these days. They may still be more expensive than a used Buick (you didn't share details) but so are all EVs compared to their ICE counterparts.

The overall point of these tax-payer-funded subsidies is to turn the driving environment greener, not to make the world fairer, unfortunately. There are other government programs doing a somewhat better job targeting that.

Quote from ThriftyMice750 :
Quick qn. What would happen if Tesla delivers me the car after Mar 2023 ? Will I not get the tax credit then ? Since a lot of people will be ordering, I am assuming the delivery date could be pushed as well.
I have the same question, but I don't think anyone knows the answer yet at this point. The IRS has the best idea, but they aren't sharing. The reason for the ambiguous March timeframe is because the IRS themselves have announced guidance that created this TEMPORARY loophole. They said they will revisit the 2023 tax guidance on EV rebates sometime in March. They didn't even announce a day in March either. After that who knows, it might go poof altogether. I would expect it to NOT stay at $7,500. Do yourself a favor and assume it won't be there after that timeframe to save yourself hurt and bitterness. We probably won't get any warning, it'll just pop up one day in March.

If anyone has any more accurate up-to-date information please share!

The $7500 is savings is from the buyers Federal obligation, not yours/others.

Fairly simple - make a choice that's better for everyone's health, get rewarded by paying less tax.

The corollary is also in effect. Drive a fairly inefficient vehicle, you'll pay more in gas taxes to the government. Buy a very inefficient car, you'll pay a 'gas guzzler' tax.

The EV credits are just more of that same line of thinking as taxes that have been around for decades.
