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)

Well...if mod doesn't have vested interest in this thread maybe Mr. Musk monitors it to make sure that nobody posts anything accurate?

I can't believe people can seriously consider a car without carplay/android auto in 2023. Not even to mention the rest of the issues coming with this econobox priced like lincoln aviator.
Maybe it's Goldman Sachs monitoring Wink

Lincoln aviator=Ford I did look at their PHEV/EVs. Reliability is an issue. Do they have 3 row version too?

^this.

Looks like mod is deleting accurate comments about tesla to get that cashback coming. LMAO

Musk is a smart due:

No carplay
No android auto
No towing
No parking sensors
Faux leather which makes you sweat/freeze depending on climate
No roadtrips

And yet he found a way for the masses to still bite on it. Kudos!
He stopped calling it vinyl (faux) leather and started calling it vegan. And it worked!!!

I don't think you can order it online and I don't think $2K difference is worth X miles of range.

I have a standard range M 3. It was a $5k difference when I bought at $35k-fed credits. Lowest price ever, close to even regular sedan prices at the time.

Unfortunately that is not case with this Y purchase vs other PHEV/ EV SUVs. Prove me wrong w/ comps?
Right, you cannot create custom order but sometimes there is ready to order inventory becoming available.

https://www.tesla.com/my/order/7S...0a49ee48c0

$2K is not huge but on the other hand why pay more if there is no real word difference in terms of skipping a charger or two on a long trip with a LR.

Question:

1. I read the rule from Treasury Department is going to change in March, like 1st of March or End of March???
2. I figure I have to take delivery of the car for it to qualify right?
3. Anyone know the delivery estimate if I order today???

Assuming the color adds $1000, the standard range MY is $50990.
and if you order a model Y (any model Y), go to the finance and click view.
you will see
Model Y is 39990
LR AW is 13000 add on
destination fee is 1390

so no, the price of standard model Y, even if color cost 1000, is 41000, plus destination fee of 1400 would land you somewhere around 42500

and btw, that's exactly how much it was going to be for the standard version, until elon said the 245 mile is too low to be useful and cancel the standard version.

1) No date has been published as of yet, but the plan is for it to be sometime in March.

2) Correct. The date that you take delivery of the car is the one that matters.

3) It's too difficult to predict due to customizations, location, and other factors.


I hope this helps,

It's HUUGGE difference for longer trips, with fam/kids in tow. What is the # miles/time $2k is buying over X years

Agree no difference in day use, but also will affect resale one day. I intend to market my 3 as range unlockable one day... but not sure if it's software locked on Y?

I would jump buy at $42,500 but that's not what I'm seeing in inventory. It changes $/Range completely. I was able to order SR 3 off menu in 2019, but if your price is right I would jump now.

Anyone else try to custom order SR Model Y is 39990? I believe he's missing X,000 add on part that SR still has a lower amount.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank TofuVic

This is a kind request to treat this thread as a deal thread that is filled with facts and helpful information.

Your opinions are important, but please don't let them detract from the deal portion of the conversation. If you dislike Tesla - and you have every right to be! - and you'd like to help others by convincing them to not buy a Tesla, please state compelling reasons. For products in which I'm interested, I definitely want to know both the pros and the cons, but insulting other people and giving no details about why you hate a product doesn't help anyone.

I personally post cons of products on a regular basis, and sometimes I understand it looks like thread-crapping. But after stating why a product may be a bad purchase, if people are still interested in buying it, I will still try to help them get a good deal on the product. Their money is theirs to spend; I may dislike the product or company, but as a member of a deal community, my primary goal is to help people save money on products they want to purchase.

Thank you and take care,
Tofu Vic
