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)

Completely incorrect. The government will send you total of $17,500 in the original scenario if you have that much liability. Nobody is saying the credit is refundable.

Completely incorrect. The government will send you total of $17,500 in the original scenario, which was you are OWED $10,000 in overpaid taxes before the credit if you have that much liability. Nobody is saying the credit is refundable. With the credit you end up having overpaid $17,500 vs the original $10,000. The $10,000 says zilch about you tax liability, which may have been $40,000.
yes, but the term 'owe' and 'liability' are used interchangeably too casually here that I think it's important to make distinction in my example. You are both right, but to someone who might not be super familiar with tax code it does create confusion.

You can change it as long as VIN is not assigned. On the Tesla App, change the finance to loan (if you had cash) or vice versa and save to make sure it's not complete status and then click on Manage to open the browser and there will be an option to edit design. Once you are done with your changes, you can go back and set the correct finance option and make it complete status.
Thank you for your response. But even though I don't have VIN, I am not able to change finance options. Maybe because loan offer is confirmed? Once I change terms from 60 to 72 months, it still doesn't allow me to edit design.

How far in advance does Tesla contact you to schedule delivery? My estimated delivery is Jan 25-Feb 3. Is this typically accurate?

Is yours a custom built order?

In my case, I selected a Model Y from existing inventory on Jan13th and got a delivery appointment same day for Jan18th-20th window.

Lol. 37k tesla. This post is for a 53k model Y and the 37k tesla is worse than a civic.

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
This thread is about a $45.5k or less Model Y if state rebates are available. Buyers who already want to buy the Model Y at $66k last month, it becomes a no brainer to buy it at $45.5k. People who are not convinced yet to buy the Model Y at $45.5k will definitely not be interested in your recommendation and spend $62k on a Lyriq. Those buyers are already stretching their budget buying a $45k vehicle. The Model Y and Lyriq have a price difference of $17k or more (state rebates and savings from $17k of taxes). Using your Civic example, people are not going to buy an Accord if it costs $17k more than a Civic even though the Accord may be a better car.

Mine was an inventory Model 3 LR. I ordered on 1/13 and immediately got a Jan 25-Feb 3 estimate, but nothing new since.

and? only 1-pedal drive and charging network are pertained to EV exclusively. Rest still valid comparison to ICE car.
Excellent list, btw. The threadcrappers will say 'but my Civic/Miata/<insert teenager car> will win after 50 laps at Laguna Seca'

Sometime back used always buy CR Bestbuy options for appliance etc. I've almost never been happy with them. Stop listening to CR years ago.
Not that I advocate or like CR but I find this odd. The Model 3 and Y are essentially the same car built on same platform and same motors. Wonder why they singled out the Model 3.

What was the price difference between the LR and Performance. Looks like the performance is listed at Vehicle Price $53,990 with no options. When searching inventory last several days I only find the single motor RWD model 3 listed.

There is no limit
I have previously received in 2014 and 2020 . If my Model Y gets delivered before the March deadline, I will be in line to get the credit a 3rd time
