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)

Was able to get an electrician to install Nema 14-50 outlet for mobile connector not installing wall charger. My electrical box won't support and its expensive to upgrade. I would if planned to stay at current location for long term. Local credit union is best option.
How much did this cost? How far from breaker? And where do u live?

Quote from norcal007 :
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.
A few things:
  1. Solar should not cost $30,000 upfront unless you're getting a massive system (Like 12KW massive)...not to mention the 26% tax credit
  2. Your research with friends and neighbors is certainly a series of unfortunate outliers. If they needed an entirely new roof for install panels they were either taken for a ride by a skeezy solar contractor (those do exist unfortunately), or their roof was generally in bad shape and had to be replaced anyways.
  3. The beauty of solar panels is they rarely need any attention. Yes, once in a blue moon, or if you have an awful solar installer, you may have a panel that gets disconnected, but solar panels are crazy reliable. The most you have to do is hose them down once a year if you get a lot of dust.
  4. ROI is totally dependent on where you live, I'll give you that. I'm in SoCal where we have some of the highest electricity rates in the nation (and most available sunlight). It's getting to the point where, if you can afford solar, you'd be foolish not to get it.

Buy a Tesla Model 3 at $46K + tax, less $7,500 tax credit at the time of filing... or wait for a 2023 Toyota Prius LE AWD for around $30K + tax.

Electricity in California is probably $0.28/kWh, but then you're comparing a somewhat luxury car vs. econobox.
Tesla is nothing lux, but the price point, look at the buid quality, interior feel and material.

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......
with this massive price drop, tesla basically corrected its own price and reset it back to market value

I bought one when this deal showed up because all the hybrid/plugins i were looking at were all marked up significantly and then the price drop happened and in my area (socal) the model y actually undercut several of the options I was looking at (due to dealer markup)

if tesla drops again, it'll be even better for all EV/plugin buyers because it will force everyone else to lower prices

I doubt another price drop like this will happen. It may drop $3,750 after march if the treasure dept gets it together and writes up rules for the EV credit like they said

Other than that, dropping any more than $3,750 would set tesla's cars below market value for the category, which doesn't make sense and it would start competing with hybrids and even some non hybrids with similar feature sets

Tesla interior build quality may be inferior, I agree. But the prius is good for getting grocery and fits grandma drivers. The performance of a tesla is superior in every way.

JohnD1987 is referring to NEM 3.0. Because of this exact reason, I am currently researching and plan to submit an Interconnection Application by 04/13/2023 to have solar panels installed, which will allow me to be grandfathered into NEM 2.0.

For more information, check out this article: What is NEM 3.0 and How Will it Impact California Solar Owners? [solar.com]

Excerpt:
Quote :
The biggest change between NEM 2.0 and NEM 3.0 is the value of export rates — or the value of excess electricity produced by solar systems. Under NEM 3.0, residential solar export rates will be based on an "Avoided Cost Calculator" instead of retail rates (what customers pay for electricity).
I hope this helps,

Question is, wait for those or get the Tesla?
def wait for those. especially a lyriq cadillac that will have a 1-2 year waiting list.. by time you get it, it will be like 70k marked up... big brain anti tesla slander going around without even thinking for a second if u can actually get ev from other auto maker within 1-2 months without paying up the butt markup or 1-2 years wait list... but its your money to spend

those $100k mercedes eqs is godlike.. everyone on sd is a millionaire so why buy trash qc tesla.. LOL

Anyone knows how IRS defines order date vs purchase date? It looks like there is a gray zone for Tesla orders that are placed before 1/1/23 but to be delivered after the Inflation Reduction Act kicked in.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/taxpros/fs-2022-42.pdf

Q8: If I purchase a new clean vehicle in 2022 that was made by a manufacturer that had already reached the manufacturer sales cap but it is not delivered until 2023, does the manufacturer sales cap still apply? (added December 29, 2022)

A8: Yes, the sales cap of 200,000 vehicles applies to vehicles sold before January 1, 2023. If you purchased a vehicle that is subject to the sales cap, it is not eligible for the credit regardless of when you place it in service.

I 100% agree with what you said.

Unless the world agree with that EVs should be priced more than ICE cars, Model Y should be at $40k range (to my standard).

If cars market goes back to pre-pandemic level, we should not pay MSRP or above. People (including me) always find car deals for a few thousands dollar below MSRP.

Like I said, just dream on. But never say never, it may come true when more EV models flooding the market in the next couple years.
