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

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)

2-3 cents. Don't think any utility will charge you that low. 9 cents is the lowest I have seen. Don't bother buying Tesla if you are in Hawaii or Alaska

Youre very confused, kWH != 1 mile.

people need to stop confusing themselves about charging costs.. Does anyone say "my honda civic costs $17 cents per mile?" no, people say it costs them $xx per tank which is 400 miles.

Just do the same with model 3, it costs about $20 for 300 miles at a supercharger if you charge off peak times, and $10-$15 at home depending on your utility company.

Those are ridiculously cheap prices. Here in SoCal we pay 54c/Kw for 4pm-9pm and 0.27c/Kw all other times even midnight.

So for me comparing to 23mpg gas car Tesla runs like getting gas at $2.50/gallon.
Sounds like youve never owned an EV. Utility companies have EV plans that charge you less at night, do some research on their website

I'm paying $0.08 per kWh. If I was willing to deal with Time of Use to shift high loads to off peak, I could get down to $0.03 per kWh (in 2020), but I don't want to deal with that. I have electric heat (heat pump) and work from home, so I rather be able to run the heater without concern about peak chargers.

Rent is dirt cheap in rural areas because no one wants to live there. Im not a hermit though. Net pay after rent is probably a lot higher. I just checked and middle of nowhere CA you can get a $1200 apartment thats same size as mine, so i could make $50000 less per year and see the same amount of money hit my bank account after rent because rent is post-tax.

Also you seem to have no idea what youre talking about when lowering AGI
-Rollover 401k into a traditional IRA keeps its tax deferred status.
-You dont understand how gifting works at all, you cant write off gift to family members.
-You also dont understand how stocks work at all, a capital gains loss on stocks has nothing to do with your w-2 income. They are completely separate.
-Donating $20k isnt in the cards, the tech recession means I now have to keep lots of money in emergency fund in case companies decide to lay off tens of thousands of people. Unemployment is capped at far beneath the rent for a 1 bedroom with an office. Youre not allowed to exit a lease in california if you lose your job, so youre on the hook for all 12 months.
capital loss can offset by 3k.. gifting money and you pay tax for them lowering your agi. roll into ira/roth also lowers your magi.. but keep living that fancy lifestyle then complain about hcol n not getting tax credit.

I like Tesla's; but you can get TWO updated 2023 Toyota Corolla's *or* two 2023 Honda Civics for the same price. And no amount of Tesla 0-60 or no-gas savings beat a pair of aces. Yes two whole cars for your family to drive.

https://www.consumerreports.org/b...288866980/

If a good new Tesla was only a few thousand more ($29K?) then price (with fuel saving) would be equal to one of the pair. And I would jump all over it.

And I think Tesla has overcome a lot of unfair anti-competitive resistance; making them cost to much.
or 3 Kia Fortes?

You should compare to peers, Y to EV SUVs. The only thing that comes close is Audi Q4 or Ford MME and they're almost 50K. I believe Ford does get the tax credit, but no 3 rows so it's out for me

Right about capital loss can offset by 3k. The rest of the stuff also has limits. Only a trad. ira reduces MAGI (also has income limits)

I stand corrected. Duke raised the rate since I looked at it in 2021. It's now $0.055 in the middle of the night.

Youre technically right but juggling tax loss harvesting rules sucks and thats only really advisable if you want to keep money liquid, otherwise its better to just use that loss to offset other capital gains.

Gifting money is not a tax write off unless structured in some crazy trust or if you have an llc and hire your relative/child/whatever as an employee. Like do you realize how crazy it would be if you could "gift" money and write it off and the recipient didnt have to pay taxes on it? thats not how it works at all.

Also yes im aware how rollover ira works, 401k is 99.999% usually tax-deferred, youre not going to lower your agi with that, also trad ira has very income limits

Do you always follow some charging rules like around in town charge from 20 pc to 80 pc and long distance travel from 10 pc to 90 pc?
