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.

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)

Is it true that once the battery is dead, it will cost 10k to 20k to replace the battery???? There is a video on YouTube of a guy who refuses to pay 22k to replace the dead battery in his Tesla and he instead blows it up! If this is the case then the buyers of EV need to know in advance before buying.

I had placed an order for a MY last year. Cancelled it due to YT videos slating build quality. It was $70k. It's now $59, still too much. I priced a 3 at $39k after fed credit. I'm really tempted at that price.

Anyone have any pros/cons? I'd probably keep this for 2-3 years.

Are there any significant changes planned that I should hold out for?
someone posted a pic that tesla is testing new front and back design changes on a diff forum where the test car was covered on front and back...so who knows we might see new design changes soon.

Its not 60k. 53k minus 7.5k Tax credit. Whats the point if the cheaper vehicle can burn down your home?
my neighbor's Tesla burned their garage. I'll stick with the gas cars for now. Once they get over this EV phase, and realize it's not sustainable and move onto natural gas, I'll get one of those.

Any official update yet? Does any forums talk about people receiving car with new Hardware 4? I am sure Tesla charges customers once they take in their order to upgrade the hardware version

What exactly is counted towards base price of MSRP according to CVRP?
From scrolling through the comments, I'm gathering tow hitch and color are included. Are wheels included as well?

Big difference, Honda/Toyota are negotiated deals and Tesla is not. People would understand if they negotiated a bad deal. MSRP usually don't go down.
And that's better? How? You're wasting everyone's time to maximize you profit. I don't care what Elon musk does, but I know I freaking love the online shopping experience from any of the online stores, precisely because I don't have to spend time to negotiate a better deal just to get a fair deal.

I am all in for cutting off the middleman, especially if all they do is wasting everyone's time. success should be given to those who can bring benefit to the society, not those who create barriers

Are you and anyone else worried they're going to rush these through manufacture leading to even worse build quality issues? I'd be lying if I said it hasn't crossed my mind lots Frown
Nah. I mean Tesla is picked on by their not too great quality controls (honestly why does Tesla not have a factory in Japan? Japanese quality control is out of this world), but I don't think it would be any worse.

Tesla completed their gigafactory and ramped on production. Part of the reason why we're getting this hefty discount is probably due to supply significantly catching up to demand.

Still, I recommend checking the Tesla before you accept it. There are some vids that show what you should look out for. I feel like this should be done with ALL cars purchased from ANY manufacturer, so I am glad I watched some of the vids.

It has 'nothing' to do with the discount. It's absolutely insane how much misinformation is barfed out in the internet.

base msrp for cvrp is under 45k for sedan.. 60k for suv.

point of cvrp is to lower cost for efficiency.. not lower luxury cost. aka color choice
