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)

The 62k lyriq suv is cheaper than their gas suv. Comparing a 37k tesla to it is like comparing a 37k tesla to a 2012 model s. Not even close
Lol. A civic. You mean that piece of sh.. Vtec vroom vroom ricer car with a CVT transmission? The one that has like 4 horsepower?

I'll give them credit for increasing it to 6 horsepower for the 2023 model.

The problem is no way of knowing if your car comes with the sensors or not. I tried to ask the sales guy he has no clue.
How did you got hold of sale guy? I need to change my charger order. Thx

30 civic is fully loaded and costs cheaper to gas up on the road. The 37k tesla is crap on wheels and costs an average of 10 cents a mile to run on Superchargers. If you don't believe me I'll be more than happy to find pictures I took while supercharging a long range model 3.

Crap on wheels? Sounds like someone has never driven a tesla. Pretty sure it beats most sports ICE cars in performance without needing premium fuel to achieve 15mpg.

Question: if you work fully remote, what is stopping you from moving to a lower cost of living area?
Was born here. Makes no sense to move somewhere far away and then buy a tesla and spend a bunch of time driving to be around my social circle.

I plan on moving jobs at end of year to somewhere with an office so i can stop paying so much money for an extra bedroom for a home office that i have to pay for with my post tax dollars. I also think working remotely for my role specifically slows down velocity significantly because stakeholders are very hard to get a hold of compared to when I was in office. They typically are running their kids around and block off large chunks of their calendar when they previously would have been at the office

If I add a Bugatti to my avatar, I can run around claiming that I have one and it's a piece of crap as well?

Quote from MMPG :
Can anyone explain the $7,500 tax credit like I'm 5? Like the gov will give me a check of $7,500 when I file my tax for 2023 in 2024?
say, if after doing my tax, I owe the gov $10,000, I only need to pay them $2,500?
Or if they owe me $10,000, they pay me $17,500?
Can anyone who has a model Y give an honest opinion if it's actually worth it? Or is it just a hyped?
I was told if something is wrong with the car, I gotta wait weeks for parts order or for an available mechanic to work on it...
I'm in the fence between hybrid vs Tesla...

A tax credit is a way for the government to give you money back when you file your taxes. It's like if you owe the government money, they will take less from you, or if they owe you money, they will give you more.

The $7,500 tax credit is a special kind of tax credit that the government is offering for people who buy a certain kind of car called a Tesla. This means that if you buy a Tesla car in 2023, when you file your taxes in 2024, the government will give you $7,500 back.

So, let's say you owe the government $10,000, if you have the $7,500 tax credit, they will only ask you to pay $2,500. But if they owe you $10,000, they will pay you $17,500.

As for the Tesla Model Y, it's a newer car model that is electric and has some special features. Some people really like it and think it's worth it, but others have had some problems with it and have to wait a long time for parts or for mechanics to fix it.

If you're trying to decide between a Tesla Model Y and a hybrid car, it's important to think about what you need in a car and what you're looking for. It's also important to do your research and see what other people have experienced with these cars.
