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)

Good site for some info on SSD

https://electrek.co/shop/best-tes...sb-drives/

So does the M3 already come with SSD and everyone is just a new up with larger HD i.e. upgrading for space?

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.
There is no custom ordering yet for MY SR RWD or MY SR AWD.

How to enable the parking assistant? I wasted so many hours trying to understand it but my current understanding that after Tesla removed the parking sensors there is no way to have a bird view or know the distance to the obstacle during parking.

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 don't think the range is software locked on Y

For those who have been watching more closely than I have since the pricing drop -- does Tesla ever post base level Model Ys without add-ons (wheel upgrades, tow hitch, etc.) inventory for immediate delivery or do they always add those on to pad profit?

Debating getting one if I can get it by next month while waiting on my Rivian R1S to be available, but not interested in pushing out to March or April to wait for delivery on a custom order for the base level (yeah, I know - first world problems) and don't want or need any of the add-ons.

In the early days of the discount there were base Model Ys available in the existing inventory. I doubt basic configuration will appear in the existing inventory soon, as people started to custom order the base configuration, so the supply will fulfill to new orders and not replenish inventory.

you mean non AWD standard range
at least as of today. the standard range is just RWD (that get cancelled)

there was never a AWD standard range, likely never will before there is a standard range AWD model 3.

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,

I have seen several people who purchased around 14-15th say that their update shows mid/late Feb through early/mid March. I am assuming if you order now, it would prob be late Feb-late March (or even later)

I ordered on the 13th and my Jan-March got updated to Jan30-Feb27

Ordered a MYLR blue Order date: 1/18 7pm Location : SoCal EDD: April 2nd-may 14th. 😭😭😭

Doesn't look good for me for the tax credit. At this point they should update their website to reflect the longer lead times. What are the odds of this coming sooner?

Ordered on the 15th, says delivery Jan 30 through Feb. 12. Ordered the more expensive red tho so that could be why.

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???
You might get it next week or you might get it in March. They might even tell you it's going to be March and then a day later they say come pick it up.

<puts on tesla short hat> actually no one is ordering these things. they are lying to you. its already built and sitting in a factory

truthfully they are recalibrating their delivery estimates all the time, and probably going to scale up the factories output and hire on more employees if demand rises, but this is the best car deal in literally about 5 years, especially the model Y price drops, so it will be a bit bumpy as they scale.

So... tried to take the delivery of a Model Y LR White with 20" wheels today and it was such a disappointment.

My VIN was allocated since last Friday and it was in stock. At the time I was about to take a delivery, I found multiple quality issues (thanks for the delivery checklist here [macheforum.com]). The scuffs on the front and the scratch on the door trim could've been fixed in-house. But the misalighment on the trunk was so blatant that the delivery guy said the car would need to go to body shop for 3 weeks to fix it. So no Tesla for me today Frown

I would try to change it to a different model or color and see if it changes. Your odds are pretty low
