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)

Price at original was 67444 after the price reduction it was 61440. Also today I got an email that my CVRP rebate was approved. So waiting 9 months I saved 6000+7500+2000. Im just lucky thats all.

That's interesting. I am guessing your vehicle is a 7 seater model otherwise you won't be able to qualify for $7500 tax credit, right?

Correct, I did get the 7 seater configuration. Thats probably why it took so long as well.

Seems like not strong demand
I think demand is there, once the deal came out, at least 5 people I know got a model y and turns down a previously crazy marked up ev/plug in of another brand

In socal, almost all evs n plug ins are marked up $8k+

but supply is catching up significantly due to the Austin plant ramping up

I live in CA n got one from Austin

Anyone custom ordered MYLR 7 seater from North NJ and got delivery date yet ? Mine says between Feb and Apr.

And can you wait to update financial details until VIN is assigned or they need that to start building my order ?
I don't see any reason for them to hold off.. but curious due to demand they might prioritize people who have provided it already?

friends don't let friends read consumer reports, especially on ev. get real feedback from real owners, ask questions and concerns. that is far more constructive than some reporter spending a day in car they are reviewing.


Right, cause consumer reports gets their info from fake owners, not real ones.

You say ask questions and concerns, but when people tell the truth, they are labeled haters and anti-EV, big oil shills, etc.

Most of them require some membership. There are some that accept you with a small donation(fee) and small deposit into a savings account. Better question is if someone can recommend a Credit Union that allows anyone to join and has a good Auto loan rate.
Got 3.84 at AdelFi. Tower FCU is offering around 1.99% but I am highly suspicious of that low of a rate.

Nope, that's not what i said. I said CR spent limited amount of time in car they reviewed. You would be better off asking feedback from actual owners who had car for far longer. And also ask the owners who had similar requirements or switched from similar car before that would be a more valid feedback.

No where i would label people give honest feedback haters or shills, unless their sole purpose here is thread crapping or comparing to 100k Porsche or 30k civic. All constructive feedback or complaints should be welcome.

Aren't there income limits on the CVRP rebates now? I thought someone had to make under $135k and under $200k filing jointly.

While I am certainly not saying don't ask an actual owner, I am saying that their information is already biased, and they may try to justify their purchase whether or not they even mean to.

Consumer reports has no skin in the game and they are professional car reviewers. You certainly cannot discount their review and information as it is unbiased. It doesn't matter to them if you buy a Tesla or a Toyota.

Maybe you don't label people but the threads don't lie. Why do you think only the Tesla threads are like this, because of the anti-tesla people? Think again, the fanbois create this atmosphere in every thread.
