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)

Why would you set foot in a dealer before you had everything ironed out?

I haven't gone to a dealer without having everything in place in years. Every dealer has an "internet department". Email them all, the ones who want to play ball respond. It is 2023 not 1983

As far as ADMs, if you are willing to order, like most are doing here for the Tesla, there isn't a car you can't get at MSRP, except maybe a Z06. Cast a wider net.

Even with the financials dialed in with the "internet department" ahead of time, I've sat for hours in dealerships before they hand over the keys. First you meet with the sales person, who has to talk to 25 other people between sitting down with you. When you think you're home free, they want you to sit through a timeshare presentation with an F&I dimwit, who invariably refuses to accept "no" as an answer the first few times. Maybe my experience is an outlier.

Assuming the color adds $1000, the standard range MY is $50990.

This is not the long-range Tesla Model Y. I think its older model with 265 miles range

Quote from THEOHIOSTATE :
The fully load dual motor awd lyriq is actually $65k. The 62k is only single motor rwd. When you compare the awd model y to the awd lyriq, the price is more than $10,000. You're also eligible for an EV credit up to $7500, which knocks down the price even more. It's a no brainer.
I agree with you! I was also researching the Lyriq and Blazer SS when looking at EV. Have you noticed not a single YouTube video showing handling performance or track 0-60 timings? All the videos show a walk around the car while its parked, bragging about all its advancements. I am thinking the real world performance and range will struggle. GM just has a way to blow it with anything EV related. Meanwhile Tesla has been making nothing by EV for 10+ years now.

Again, it's not comparable to civic. The only similarity between them is that both are cars.
Buddy, even despite people started posting honest reviews after picking up this junk you keep staying on track? Civic rating - 10/10. Tesla rating - 5/10.

Get back down to earth and realize that your status symbol which you will be paying for the next 10 years is just a piece of junk.

Is the Tesla site the best place to look for a used MY? Lowest price I see is $49.6K. Well above $30K.
Problem is most dealers bought the EV last year when market was high. Now the price cuts and these guys will have to loose money to get rid of the used models. I was looking at several Model 3 locally all in the mid 40K range and now you can get a new for this price after rebate. They are going to have to take a hit on the price and will not like it in the end.

It is standard range model (279 miles range, 135mph top speed, 5.0sec 0-60 mph) and not the long range. I think these models have the 4680 battery cells.

Question: Where (which line#) do we put this Federal Tax credit in income tax form 1040?

I normally go for the "standard deduction" and put the standard deduction amount in line #12.

My question is if this tax credit comes as a SEPARATE DECUTION APART from standard deduction? (I do not go for the itemized deductions as I always found that my standard deduction is better than the itemized deductions!)

Got it. Someone else commented they are selling used for under $30K, which I'd like to see. I imagine there are many people upside down now and can't sell, too. Really interested to see how this all plays out. Someone is gonna not be happy.

Well wife was inclined to go for this against my best efforts on convincing her of a minivan for the family. Let's hope it works out well. Hopefully one of the credit unions will provide a loan at those rates in time.

Change the narrative now huh!?

" The amount orders Tesla received is crazy now." Was this public information in December. Lol.

Your behind must have good public relations with Tesla. It sure receives and produces tons of information.
Lol I am in a Tesla model y Reddit I have seen many reporting placed order dates and VIN issuance etc. The crazy part is the amount people who are posting there. Nothing in it for me to prop up Tesla. Tesla is a good car but has its issues with production quality , rear lights fogging etc.
