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)

Right, because they don't do this for a living.

Just because something doesn't "make sense" to you doesn't mean it isn't true.

I shouldn't trust what they say, but rather some random person pontificating on the internet. OK

I love how Tesla fanbois just dismiss something as "doesn't make sense"

I'm so confused about this tax credit. Line 24 of my taxes is over $7500. Is it just a reduction of that number? Basically I just want to know if I'm actually saving $7500.

I ordered model 3 performance. We are getting rid of our ICE sedan in its place. We have SUV for trips and when more room is needed.

One of the first steps in making a sustainable battery value chain is to understand where all materials in a battery cell come from, which is harder than one might think. A battery cell is mainly made up of a cathode, anode, separator, and electrolyte, and each of these parts is made of several different materials that need to be processed.

After test driving both, went for M3P. Showing Jan/Feb estimated delivery date.
I have large family, but 3 sedans suit us well. Got rid of a minivan 5 years ago, never missed it. Few times we needed to go somewhere with 6 or more people we took 2 cars.
My second choice was M3 RWD, almost bought it 3 months ago for what M3P costs today.

This is why the Tesla threads end up the way they do. Hmmm wonder why
that's funny, you are thread crapping but asking why every thread turns into crap...

For all you who ordered a new Model 3 or Model Y (sorry, can't say M3, as I used to own an E90 M3), make sure to budget for essential accessories/upgrades:

-window tint, ~$700 if you want to tint the roof. I would say this is a must for car with so much glass, but I have also heard the roof glass blocks a lot of heat/UV. And you can optionally tint your windshield, with legality unlikely. ~$400 for window tint, ~$300 for roof tint, ~$200 for windshield tint.
-all weather mats, $150-$300, I heard the carpet mats are crappy, so you'll want WeatherTech or OEM Tesla, or something better.
-console organizers, $30-$50, helps your console not be a drunk drawer in your car.
-wheel covers, $150-$200, if you're not to keen on the aero covers, no need if you upgraded to 20"/performance wheels.
-PPF, too expensive for me, but you're looking at $$$, thousands.

Amazon, Aliexpress has many good options.

how do you pay taxes every year? do you not know how much the gov takes?

https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes

Federal22.00%12.94%$10,331

The first line should be above $7500, if its not then dont buy a tesla. If it is above $7500 then buy a tesla. Also pay an accountant at the end of the year because you will mess this up otherwise.

I ordered Sunday, the 15th in early AM PST. A family member ordered Saturday morning, and their order # was 20K before mine. So Tesla sold a ton on Saturday and Sunday for sure. Friday, some people bought, but I'm guessing many were still looking at details before pulling trigger like me.

I checked mine now, and it was January to March, now it's January 26-February 23. I'm in NorCal.
