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)

How much is insurance cost for model y per month?
Insurance cost depends on a number of factors (age, driving record, etc.). You should be asking insurance companies for quotes instead of SD.

Has anyone researched about applying for a new credit card for downpayment? Thinking of applying a credit card and possibly earn points towards the $4,500 downpayment. Any thoughts/suggestions?

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.
I legit have another mindset . I guess this is the divide in the country they talk about.

I love the fools who say "you don't need parking assist for such a small car". Karma will take care of those people. Wait until they hit a curb parking at walgreens etc. Or they don't allow their wife to drive it maybe? Either way, enjoy having the most scratched up Tesla. Tesla eliminating park assist was for cost savings pure and simple
The it doesn't need it takes are the dumbest. One of the worst things about my Tesla is that it does not have surround view cameras.

Quote from SamS :
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.
You just used social credit scores as selling point.

TBH, people that don't have a $7,500 tax liability shouldn't be buying a car around this price range.

Exactly. Parking sensors are a must. Removing them was dumb. It's not like a software update will fix missing hardware. Don't know how well Tesla Vision works in fog, snow or heavy rain.

Quote from KSilver2000 :
In California, starting next month, anyone under 400% of the federal poverty level ($130K for a family of 4) will also qualify for an increased rebate on new EV purchases: $7,500. So, total of $15,000.
That means more than half of the entire CA qualifies for $15,000 off a new EV. A new Chevy Bolt would cost just $15K.

Heck, if all of those folks are getting free money, I'm taking advantage of all my tax reductions in every way possible, too. CA is expensive because you have to pay for all the government subsidies being handed out.
Nobody is buy a tesla for a tax credit.
They were already going to buy a tesla and now they are getting free money. At the other tax payers expense . Messing around with taxes is not ethical.

Yeah it was a rhethorical question of sorts. Maybe a mini SUV but even those are going for $40K+

Only thing left to shop is used X or other used PHEV's

the 6 seater Y is around $51K w/ credits. I feel that $4k is worth it since it could come handy in a pinch with my 7 y.o kid+ 5 ft tall mom. and some resale value in the future.

Most of the cards listed are for gas, grocery and travel. What is more confusing is that they say eligible purchase which makes me wonder if Tesla downpayment is eligible or not. I am sure people would have concluded before me so just looking for the suggestion.

Why do people keep saying this? There is a difference between 'tax liability' and what you may 'owe' or get as a 'refund' as a result of filing your taxes. What non-refundable means is that you must have tax liability (simplest example is, you get a paycheck and pay federal income tax every pay period) of at least $7500. This means, if you're single with no kids, and super basic taxes, you need to make over $65K a year to have a tax liability of $7500, or in other words, have paid $7500 in federal payroll taxes. If you have met that criteria, you will get back $7500 that you already paid (your tax liability). If you earned under that, and only paid $5k in federal taxes, you will get $5K (only what you paid into the system). If you make very little and support a large family and have $0 tax liability (paid no taxes), you get $0 back. In complicated situations, where you're married, both high earners, save for retirement, itemize deductions, etc, you may need to make as much as $190k to have $7500 in tax liability.
People keep saying you can only get $7500 back if you owe $7500 in additional taxes after you prepare your taxes. This is incorrect. You simply have to have paid through payroll taxes $7500 or more in fed taxes. This is what non-refundable means - you can't get back more than you should have paid in.
