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.

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)

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.
Toyota quality is crap. I have a '22 4Runner that I bought for overlanding, and that's it's only purpose. There's big panel gaps, mismatched paint between panels, and orange peel paint towards the bottom of the doors. The software they are using is from the '00s, and it gets horrible MPG, even without all the armor I added. The cybertruck can't come fast enough.

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
Orange County (SoCal), it was only $5k markup last summer at the dealer I found. I think most were $8k though. When I priced it, the EV6 was about $60k with markups and tax, but still qualified and I think the Model Y was about $80k.

YMMV of course but Toyota is known for its quality. Some of their models are much better than others, new models or not, along with where it's manufactured, etc. I've always ensured mine were made in Japan. My family has had several Toyotas over the past couple of decades, all great, but the Prius reigned king. Never touched anything except tires, brakes, and oil for 8 years and traded it in which only depreciated ~20%.

All that being said, you're spot on with the software, they're horrible with UI! My current (2nd) Prius is hilarious. I literally have a screen on this giant tablet that gives an engine status of running or off. Dozens of more examples and I can't fathom what they were thinking when they designed that garbage. Might be trading this one in for a Model Y if this deal goes through Smilie

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.
NOT exactly, it goes by the size of the battery. The Model Y gets 330 miles per charge, and has a 80kWh battery, which is a large battery. Tesla has very high costs on replacement parts, so you are probably looking at more than $20,000 to replace the battery. But one would never wait for the existing battery to go dead, as your mileage keeps dropping every year, so when you are getting 50 miles in range it becomes almost useless. It is estimated that the battery degrades abut 3-5% a year, (it is not linear but progressive) which is why the battery is only warranted for 8 years. For most owners the aging is the most important factor, not the total mileage. Since the battery is composed of modules, it is much less expensive to rebuild the battery and just replace or repair the modules, but this is labor intensive and neither Tesla or any dealership would offer this. If you are in a state where electric cars are very popular, like CA, there are private shops that specialize in rebuilding battery packs. What also is not told is that these batteries perform very poorly in the very cold, like in the northern states, and also very poorly in extremely hot states, like Arizona and Texas.I live in DC, which does not get extremely cold or hot. But the few times that it is in the 30's, I loose about 20%, and if I run the heater and defroster, at least 25%.. In the summer it is often in the upper 90's, and running the A/C on high you will also loose about 20%. Also if you drive fast, like over 60mph, you will loose another 10% and upwards. Then to make your battery last as long as possible, it is highly recommended that you do not charge your battery more than 80% or let it drop less than 20%.. So add all these restrictions together. The Model Y gets 330 miles new, subtracting 20% of the top and bottom and it is reduced to 198 miles. Subtract another 20% for deep summer or winter and you get 158 miles. Now subtract 5 years of degradation, lets be kind and say 15%) and we are now looking at a pretty sorrowful 135 miles. This is where I stand with my 10 year old Nissan Leaf, with only 30,000 miles on it, which came with a very small 24kWh battery, This winter on a day in the lower 30's, I charged it to 80% and got 50 estimated miles, but when I actually started to drive and turned the heat on, the estimated range immediately dropped to 19. Cannot really go much of anywhere with only 19 miles. Nissan estimates that their charge for replacing my 24KWh with a 40kWh is $10,000 for the battery and $1000 for installation. That will take my still working 24kWh battery and recycle it for money. I am looking for a private shop option.

It has 'nothing' to do with the discount. It's absolutely insane how much misinformation is barfed out in the internet.
Then enlighten us. Oh wait, you can't. There has been no facts straight from Tesla. Anything you say following this comment is equally as speculative. By saying it has "nothing" to do with the discount, is equally as speculative - because you don't know.

I said part of the reason is probably, I did not say "based on facts I've gathered".
