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)

My estimate delivery date is Jan 25 - Feb 8,
#1, do I need to start apply the loan with my local credit union now or wait till the VIN assigned? (credit union rate is way better than tesla's)
#2, I didn't buy the mobile charger when i placed the order, do I need to buy one now or just pick it up from the service center on the delivery day, this is not something on the "short supply" category, right?

thanks for any comments..

Just an FYI to Sunny's comment.

You can install the wall connector just fine with a 50amp circuit. A lot of folks do as the charging difference between 50 and 60 is negligible when charging overnight.

Out of curiosity - those who are ordering, are you getting the Enhanced Autopilot or FSD?

I'm not interested in FSD, but the Enhanced Autopilot seems like a popular option.

You can't apply without a vin.

I placed a separate order for the mobile charger after I got est time and vin. Don't want to go home without one in case they don't have stock at the store.

do monthly subscription first $200/month to try out see if it fits in your driving situation. EAP/FSD only useful if you do a lot of local traffic stop and go, for highway the basic autopilot will merge with EAP/FSD so they will be more or less the same. You can cancel monthly subscription anytime.

You're right, it is not 36k. It is actually 34k in NJ after 7.5k federal tax credit, and 4k state rebate at point of sale. Plus no sales tax.

Then do it now!

Basically, under current NEM2.0, you can use utility company as capacity unlimited battery to save electricity from your solar and use it later. Under new NEM3.0, you unused electricity from solar would be accepted at (for example with PG&E) 8 cents,when you use later, you have to pay full retail price starts from 33 cents.

NJers really have it good (for once). My state offers a relatively measly EV rebate and the AGI phase outs are low. Argh.

I am sorry, I am a total newbie when it comes to circuitry.

Can you explain what the difference is, is it cheaper to get the 50amp installed, or is that standard or something?

When I was skimming through some articles, it seemed the mobile connector and NEMA 14-50 was a viable slightly slower alternative to the wall connector. Outside of that, I've no idea what I'm doing lol

Thanks in advance

Woke up in the middle of night, actually early morning and found this post and here's my update:

Maryland

MYLR - 5 seat - 19" wheel -Blue exterior and Black interior - No Tow or FSD

Order Date: 1/13/2023 - 3:20 AM EST

Received email with VIN - 1/13/2023 - 8:40 AM EST

Delivery date assigned - 1/16/2023 or 1/17/2023

Didn't have auto loan in place, so rescheduled delivery for 1/19/2023.

Just picked it up today… no major issue with the vehicle… there seems to be hairline scratches on the trunk if u look closely, so may take it to Service center for fix.

VIN starts with 7SA and from what i could find from the VIN decode, it's a Austin built 2023 model.
I am guessting its Hardware 3.0 ?? Not sure what Tesla wants us to pay for going to Hardware 4.0 later on.
