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.

I cancelled my order. Tesla is trying to push cars with defects on consumers. Also, if prices are slashed now, why not wait and see how they will price things in a couple of months. Here's my Twitter post about the defects

Yeah Tesla will fix it or replace the entire piece or panel for free. This is nothing new with Tesla issues with deliveries, but they really take care of you with quick and free repairs.

BMW gave me a hard time with a spider inside a brand new X5 headlight and then charged me for the headlight and labor.

IRA should do the trick.
IRA contributions have an income threshold much lower than the 300K Tesla threshold.

for 2022
married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)
AGI: $109,000 or less
- a full deduction up to the amount of your contribution limit ($6,000, $7,000 if you're age 50 or older)


AGI: more than $109,000 but less than $129,000
- a partial deduction.

married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)
AGI: $129,000 or more
- no deduction.

Yep. Sucks because I'm at $170k but I work full remote and I have to rent a super expensive apartment to not have my desk in my living room like a worker drone. It's amazing to me that my employer can just close their office space and I get no tax write offs for shouldering that cost for them.

This state has billions in excess revenue from tech workers and I don't see what California is doing with it. State income tax is 10%, my sales tax is 10%, then I have a bunch of CASDI and all that crap. The irony is the main need for a car here is because Public transport is legitimately dangerous due to mentally Ill population.
I totally hear you. The people that do make money here in CA just end up subsidizing the rich. I'm in SF, so all of this really hurts. I thought someone mention that we still qualify for $2k rebate if we are over the income limit?

Yea, I was thinking OR backdoor roth but they won't get the job done either; didn't remember income limits, long since eligible.

Question: if you work fully remote, what is stopping you from moving to a lower cost of living area?
Weather, fam & politics. also since we're in a Tesla thread, other supercharger networks pale by comparison

Yes IRA is ruled out for a combined income of 300K.
Any other ways apart from HSA, educator expenses, or maxing out 401K contributions?
Also, I guess no option to fix it for 2022 in case one is just over the limit of 300K.

You'll probably get a raise this year and then you won't have to think about it, W2ers all eventually just get used to getting bent over. laugh out loud

Thanks for megacaster info.

For color, I think the German factory received a new red and quicksilver. The red is supposedly a bunch of coats so it changes colors on shades and shadows. The quicksilver looks kinda cool. I think both are to make their way to the US, but idk about timeframe

I was discussing how the EV6 was $20k cheaper than a Model Y when I bought it last summer. Then you asked how it was $20k cheaper and I explained. Not baloney, you just asked a question and didn't know the context of the discussion.
hmm ev6 were going 10-15kmarkup.. iono how that could be cheaper by 20k vs msrp tesla
