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)

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.
Look at your 1040, line 18, that is your total tax liability. The electric vehicle tax credit comes from schedule 3, which is on line 20.

-Window tint. I didn't bother on my 3. I bought one of those cheap sunroof shades from Amazon for $30 and it covers the roof and part of the back glass. I only use it in the heat of summer here in NC.
- All weather mats. A definite PLUS. I also got a trunk liner as well and a frunk liner too, for about $150 shipped on eBay.
- Console organizer. I just 3D printed one for my wife's incoming Y, but I have the JOWUA organizer in my 3
-PPF. Agreed, too expensive. My 3 has nearly 24,000 miles on it and just a few rock chips up front is all. I touched the up with the official Tesla touch up paint and it looks as good as new unless you're right up on it.
PPF only if you plan on keeping your car for several years. If not, skip it. Just had my entire SUV done and it cost a pretty penny.

I've tried to read through the threads as much as I could. I have a few questions:
1. To guarantee the tax rebate, would it be preferable to order one of the vehicles from the inventory if it matches my needs?
2. If I order from inventory, how soon would I get the car? Would it be immediate?
3. If I have already ordered and want to switch to one in inventory, can I do that without losing my $250 deposit?
if they have the same model nearby you will see "Accelerated Delivery" option in your account page in *desktop* browser.

DD Data Point:

Placed a Model Y order very late 1/15 Sunday evening but did not download the APP and complete the registration until 1/16 Monday. It's a white-on-white with no other options. I am in Virginia and my delivery date was just updated to 2/10-3/17. Here's hoping that it gets delivered earlier in that range.
5 or 7 seater?

I have the grey one on order. There is an available one right now, but it won't let me change it. Only the initial 3 options are available to do accelerated delivery, which are all above 55K. Once I click "View All Inventory", it makes me reserve another one with $250 deposit.

So for any of you Bay Area folks, there is a gray base Model Y LR available right now.

1. If you can find the inventory that matches tax rebate criteria, then absolutely. If you are looking for Model Y (5 seater), there are no inventory vehicles under 55K. Thats why everyone custom orders these. The custom order default delivery date is Jan to March 2023.
2. You will likely get the inventory vehicles with in few days
3. Yes, as long as VIN not assigned to your order, if you can find inventory vehicle that matches your criteria and federal rebate criteria, then you can switch and the deposit applies towards the purchase of inventory vehicle

It is the first car I regret buying. For $55k price it doesn't have all basic luxury car features. Looks like for many people it is a first luxury car and they don't know what to look for. The car is crazy uncomfortable to use. I think they removed the 15 days returned policy because majority of the cars were returned. My whole family complains, nobody likes that car. My goodness what is wrong with Tesla engineers. I was never driving Tesla before and my test drive was in the city.

First good about that car:
* Looks nice and spacious.
* Climate control from phone.
* Accelerates fast.


Issues I have:
* Horribly noisy on freeway.
* No phone support at all, no Carplay or Google. The design is like 15 old one and no way to mirror the phone screen.
* You come , the car is unlocked but can't open the trunk with button.
* Impossible to park, no park assistant sensors, no bird view. So, so bad. Very hard to describe the frustration.
* Release charge worked from 10th time.
* It was charging before the higher rate time but didn't continue after that time.
* Rear view camera is crap, no cross traffic alert.
* Stuck on connecting Bluetooth on my phone. I've never seen that with any Bluetooth devices.
* Very hard to control the car because you need to look at that stupid central screen all the time instead of keeping the eyes on the road. The unit is not tilting.
* The steering wheel feels strange.
* The turning radius is very bad.
* It doesn't turn on headlights when wipers are on. This is the most basic feature for all cars.

I need a large car for 6 ppl, should I buy this or Honda pilot, how is the 2 seats in 3rd row, 60k vs 45k after tax. No tax rebate for me
Not sure pricing on Honda Pilots. We got our 2016 at the very beginning of 2017 (new, previous year model.)

We got the touring, 2wd. It has lots of room. 6 people is pretty easy. 7 if several are small. With luggage space to boot!

Not sure how it compares to the Y, but I imagine the Pilot will be more roomy for most of the specs, the Y seems to have really good headroom though, especially second row.

The test drive is 45 mins and no car salesman is in the car with you to bug you. I would suggest anyone who is smart to test drive a vehicle before purchasing it, possibly even test drive other vehicles.

That being said, i understand that teslas test drive is the easiest one to setup and if you want to test drive other EVs you have to deal with shithead salesmen, so most here will likely test drive the model Y, love it, and just buy it.

Only thing i can suggest is test driving model Y with only the 19" wheels, do not get bigger wheels, all cars with big wheels and thin tires are a compromise.
