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)

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
Brooklynite is not making this up.
I also have SCE and that is the price for the Time of Use plan for EV owners.
They had a ToU plan that cost around 10 cents a Kw from 10pm - 8am, but of course they got rid of it and forced everyone to the higher priced plan.

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
its only 7.5k credit.. u get overpay for working in sf bay area... deal with it. even with hcol.. you still come out ahead

Quote from gotoee37000 :
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?
Nope. But I have had it set to charge to 90% since the day I bought it. When I have a road trip planned, I bump it from 90% to 100% when I wake up in the morning. By the time we get up, breakfast, shower, etc, the car reached it (we aren't morning people).

Many times I also don't charge it after a drive simply because I end up driving so little. But if it gets to 50%, I plug it in. This is more hit or miss as I don't follow a rule, I just don't bother. Since Covid hit, I've put only 10k miles on it in over 2 years.

Its called osmosis. Everyone here is at the top of their game. The chances of you running into the countries top SME on any subject is 100000x higher than rural areas. Hard skills are good but they arent everything.

Also no its not only 7.5k, the extra $7,500 the tesla costs takes $13,000 of my salary due to the insane effective tax rate.

Well, more reason to go for solar i guess and buy an everflow battery which the government subsidizes. Socal is sunny as hell.

Of course I'm actually on the plan. It's called TOU-D-Prime for EV users to get fkd.

Rates are
22c and 62c in summer
24c and 57c in winter

That's is you own an EV. Imagine 62/kWh! Wow. Like getting gas at $6/gal for your Tesla.

Is this new during covid? Didnt realize socal had such high energy prices for EVs. 22 cents isnt too crazy though with how inflation has been going. Thats still 82kwh * .22, $18 for 330 miles of real world range in model 3 long range. Better than $50 in gas.

For the summer I would grab cheap solar panels and then i guess a cheap ecoflow battery i think that would allow you to charge directly from the ecoflow? not sure what efficiency loss is

I got my LeMR midrange 3 early 2019.
Electricity was 5cents off hours, 11cents peak. Roughly 1/7 the cost of gas per mile.

Now it's right 5x the price at 27/56. Still cheaper then gas, but not nearly as much of a difference. It used to be, "wow, huge savings!" Now it's..."cool. A little discount."

I get around 220, 230 wh/mile.

What is a common everyday wh/mile for a MY lr? I have it on order.

Quote from WIckedNews :
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.
This is so wrong. The government isnt going to give you money. If you owe the government $10,000, you would get the full $7500 credit. You don't get $7500 on top of the $10,000 that you owe.

Look at the Cadillac Lyriq, it's a much better car at the same price point.

I've driven the 3 as a loaner while my S was being serviced. What a horrible car! Road noise, constantly bottoms out on road bumps and loud cabin noise. I've heard same complaints about the Y. These cars are $60k! No $60k car should ever feel like this

I would never buy those cars after having 2 model S and my next ev will be the Lyriq
The lyriq is not the same price. It's $63,000 with the base model. That's $10,000 more. Do you even research?

Nothing wrong about this. You get $7,500 on top of what you are OWED.

Anyone know the going rate to get the chargers installed where you live?

I live near Raleigh NC, and I think it's like $1100-1500 for the Wall charger installation here.

I wonder how much a 240v installation is, to use the mobile instead and save some money.
