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.

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)

$0.28/kWh - is that at home or Tesla Supercharger?

Here in NJ, you can find Supercharger at $0.17/kWh - which is what we pay when charging at home.
Home. Supercharger from what I've read/seen online for California, peak price is around $0.54/kWh.

Electrify America is $0.43/kWh without membership; but $0.31/kWh with membership, though you'll need a CCS adapter to use with a Tesla.

Charging an EV is not cheap in California unfortunately; which is why I'm considering the 2023 Prius as an alternative, but like I said, I'm comparing a somewhat luxury to a econobox (Prius LE aka base model)

If electricity is that expensive, why not just consider going solar? You'd break even in probably 4-5 years, and never have to worry about the cost for charging your car.

Tower is 2.24 as they require you to use true car for the vehicle purchase. Also this is for 36 months
What about payment, do you need to create a banking account with them? Some places requires you to open an account, deposit the money there so they can take it out every month

Practically a requirement imo. Now it's our gas bills that are through the roof.

California just passed new rules for solar making solar less financial beneficial. So if you are in CA, you have to get your solar plans in by April 13 2023 to be grandfathered into the more favorable rules

For people getting VINs assigned, did you have all your tasks done in the app?
I'm wondering if that influences the delivery dates

I agree. Tons of people bought cars over MSRP last year.

Wait until they see their resale value when the markets normalize.
Today, more people rush out buying new Tesla because of the price drop (back to normal price). What if the prices drop further in a few months? I don't need a car now, but if new Model Y LR can be had for below $40k, I will get one. Just dream on......

Thank you for sharing! I also own GX460, I do believe MY&GX460 will be the perfect combination for a happy life ! Smilie

Based on what i read, mine didn't have it… like if i'm close to trash bin, my Lexus beeps and shows front or back where it's close to hit something… I tried that with MY going close to trash bin and it didn't do anything, so I'm guessing it doesn't have that feature… for backing up, it's no big deal cuz ur side and rear camera shows up on the monitor but if ur front bumper is about to hit something, there's no warning.

Initial cost of investment and varies depending on how much electricity one uses. If not charging a car, our electricity bill is usually about $50-$60. Gas on the other hand is getting crazy… no way to win on utilities in California lol.

Solar installations have plummeted as people are finding out the return on investment is dismal and likely won't ever pay for the equipment and maintenance. Spending $30,000 on up is nonsense. I did my research with friends and neighbors here in California and everyone said never again. Some required a new roof for the install of panels, one person had leaks, and seems always something needs attention. I'm sure there are situations where it may work, but talk to actual homeowners (not the ones that a company gives you) and do the math.
