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.

Quote from MurraytheDemonSkull :
I received the following response from CVRP staff which stated Tesla has not applied yet.

"Hello,

Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.

Please note: Certain plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are only eligible for a rebate if they are purchased/leased on or after the vehicle eligibility date.

We cannot guarantee a vehicle will be approved by CARB and added to our eligible vehicle list. Therefore, if the rebate is an important factor in your decision to purchase/lease the vehicle, we recommend that you use your best judgment given the information provided on our website.

If you ordered a Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y on or before March 15th, 2022 the vehicle may still be eligible for the program. If you ordered your Tesla on or after March 16th, 2022, you are no longer eligible to apply for the program.

Tesla has been in contact with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and made this decision to remove themselves from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP). CARB will not be adjusting their MSRP cap to allow Tesla vehicles to qualify for the program. No exceptions can be made to this requirement. All concerns regarding the MSRP increase should be directed to Tesla.

I encourage you to visit www.driveclean.ca.gov where you can perform a search based on your vehicle type and zip code to see if there are any other incentives available to you at this time. Thank you for your investment in clean vehicle technology."

Its a game that Tesla is playing. I think once the Federal tax credit reduces to 3750 they will apply for this program.

It's non refundable.

I rather lose $250 then be stuck with a $850 payment over 60 months.

My own assessment of this deal...
- Interesting, Tesla's are cool, still, right, aren't they?
- Realize that my 20yo SUV, is getting me from A to B just fine and has actually appreciated in value the last few years 😁
- Talked self out of considering spending 50k on something I don't need = 50k saved, slickest deal ever!
Maybe the slickdeals are the friends we made along the way?

LOL - Substantial price cuts from Tesla goes to show how they've been hustling their fanboys all this time. Next up FORD and their substantially dealer marked up Mach-E, F-150 Lightning.
Yes, Telsa stock went from about $420 share to about $120.So they are discounting to bring in more $.

We're considering canceling too, not because this isn't a very slick deal or we don't like Tesla; only because we just paid off our model 3 last winter and are now finally reaping the benefits of owning a Tesla with no car payment and extremely little upkeep costs. We've been banking the savings and that's been nice, so despite this being a slick deal, not sure I want to give that up. Decisions, decisions.

It's not better and you can't get one without waiting anyway
All of my local dealers have multiple in stock. The only thing it doesn't have is a little more range and the stupid acceleration that just makes you burn through very expensive tires quickly. Everything else about the VW is better. It's built by a company that actually knows how to make cars. It also an attractive car for an SUV. The Y is the ugliest of the Tesla 4 and the quality is atrocious and you have to pay a premium just to get a color other than white. Also there is no stock on sub-55k model Ys to get the tax credit. You have to order them and that is a shit show.

Cheapest I've seen for a MYLR in my area is $38k.

Prices are slowly creeping down for a used Tesla Model 3 and model Y. I think it's finally a reflecting off of the new lower price plus the tax incentives.

I'm hoping that I can find one in the sub $35k range with low miles without FSD. I don't trust that.

After feasting on the tears of all those who got caught up in the FOMO last month and were tripping over themselves to overpay for a Tesla, I cannot believe all of the people lining up for the same beating.

Tesla needs to keep increasing deliveries every quarter and they missed the last few. Price cuts will continue and they will make sure they qualify for the federal tax incentives.

There will be more tears in March!

But he's paying about 5x the property tax that I do, which is way more than my income tax.

Not really here to debate the merits of random stuff. Just wanted to let you know that the 'apply in texas' idea wasn't plausible.
i seriously doubt hes paying property tax.. he's probably renting

Just try to understand, if i don't buy now, after March 2023, i won't get full $7500 tax credit but only half? Thanks.
I think the full 7500 tax credit will still be here. I don't think they will take that away from Tesla. Batteries are still built in America so why would they remove it.
