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)

should or will? my friend told me the girl who hit him has low insurance so now he has to try to sue her... and if she's a poor unemployed student with no assets? *shrug* either way it's a hassle, but waiting for your car to be fixed for 3-4 months shouldn't be the 'norm' here.

Growing pains of buying into new things I suppose... in my case, I'm gonna try to stay on our current cars for as long as possible before buying something.
sounds like a "i dont have enough insurance coverage problem to me"

he should switch insurance agent.. get good insurance that covers your needs and liability and not some cheapest insurance because u skimp for savings.. anyways this is a different talk. not gonna tell u how to live your life

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.
And half of the entire CA can still not afford a $15k bolt or ev.


You can buy now and apply for the upgraded rebate $7,500 after February 2023.

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?
Tesla doesn't take credit cards for down payments. Only the $250 order fee.

Since it's a 7 seater. Wouldn't it be eligible for the federal tax credit for a SUV as it's price is less than 80k?

Look like only Tesla purchased before March 2022 is eligible. One requirement is has to be in the eligibility list and Tesla is not. Tesla needs to apply to be on the list.https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/en...la-model-y
TESLA was excluded due the MSRP increase, now they do qualify, CVRP didn't update their website yet.

It would be if I took delivery of the car in 2023. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) only came into effect on 01/01/2023, and I took delivery on 12/29/2022, so I'm not eligible.

Take care,

Can someone confirm this? We can buy the car now and apply for rebate later?

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
If you need car assit to drive, you should be on the road.

Quote from EliteDealHunter :
Have charged using only the mobile connector at 32 amps for 4 years. No need to waste money on a hardwired EVSE when you can easily fully recharge the car overnight using the mobile connector. The difference between Tesla and other car company's mobile connector is that other company's build the unit with only the standard 120v plug, so the charging is level 1 at 3-4 miles per hour (around 1.4 kW). With Tesla you can swap the adapter to multiple other plug types, such as the 14-50 adapter that's now included, and charge at up to 240v/32 amps, 7.6 kW.

The new Teslas do not come with a mobile connector. So one would need to purchase a wall charger, or a mobile connector. If I recall correctly, the difference between both is probably ~$150, which is insignificant. The cost of installing a wall charger, or a Nema 14-50 outlet in most cases will be covered by state or utilities incentives.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank p_goodsales

Bought a Mid range Model 3 in December 2018. Been 4 years and happy with it car wise. Price wise I always feel I paid more but can't do anything about it. I think it was $47.5K after credit and it has enhanced autopilot. Range was 260 miles when I got it, now it's 230 or so. depreciation seems to be normal as per Tesla.

I have a 3 but would like the PHEV flexibility for road trips. I'll buy a CPO Used w/ warranty but most don't come close to $51K w/ new TSLA prices

I would try registration date as date of service, but I'm not 100% sure if purchase date matters too?
