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)

thanks, so assuming 300 miles on the model y per full charge, my savings versus gas is about $26 per 300 miles (my gas vehicle gives 25mpg and gas is about $4 per gallon)
for me, the gas savings are $900 per year vs my economy car, $1500-2000 per year vs my V6 car

either way it sure does pay back if you have decent rates

tho throwing an efficient hybrid into the mix, there might be little to no savings at the current gas prices

Currently on waitlist at 3 dealerships that sells at MSRP - I'm in no rush honestly on a new car, but been wanting to replace the 2021 VW ID.4 Pro.



Yes, it would be my first time driving and/or owning a Tesla; I can see that those materials are no wear luxury, but I guess the other consideration item is probably audio and the autopilot feature, even though Toyota has it's TSS3.0; still think it's lacking if and when compared to Tesla autopilot features.
Maybe toyota dealerships are different but most dealerships have $2000-3000 packages they will attach to the car before you can walk out with it. You have to understand these guys know the writings on the wall and direct to consumer sales are rising and the need for dealerships is fading. They are hungry for every penny they can get their hands on because they dont know where they will be in 5 years.

Do you get an App notification or email if the estimate delivery is updated, or just have to check?
No notification or emails for me. Just have to check the app and it should be there. You can also text back the "Welcome to the Tesla Family" number, and they are somewhat responsive. I asked some questions and they did answer through there.

I ordered mine Jan 14 and jumped the hoops. I was approved for the loan, but didn't realize I was supposed to accept the terms until today. So does that mean my order didn't move forward till I accepted the terms of the loan? I have received any date accept that generic date everyone gets Feb-mar 31.
I may not even go with Tesla's loan if I can get a better one. Why would they hold the order?

Thanks!

Yes, if you're buying Tesla for just a week or two.

If not, look at the lifetime savings. Use whatever assumptions you wish, and extrapolate over 8-10 years to see how much you'd save. I compared MY against a certified 2021 Lexus, both in the same price point. The fuel saving over 12 years was in 18-20k range.
only catch is the cost of electricity has been going up, about 7% increase every 6 months i've noticed

The highlander definitely does not qualify for the 7500

I don't think you can tell the difference between SR and LR by just looking at the car. On the window sticker with vin # it should be listed or if it is fully charged then battery icon should tell you how much range is left.
Actually you can. Just look on the back right side of the bumper. There should be an emblem that says "Dual Motors" if it's long range. A standard range vehicle will not have the emblem.

I never got such text, text I received asked me to provide Registration and delivery information(texting that number gets no response back)
Will you be able to share number(dm if necessary) for Welcome to Tesla family?

Dual Motor stands for AWD, there is a motor in front & a motor in rear.

Does the white interior gets marked up easily and is it easy to clean?

That's not a catch. That is a data point. You build your model using whatever assumption you want. Gas prices increasing x% YoY, electricity cost increasing z% YoY in absolute value. Whatever suits you, then you extrapolate to the life of car and compare the numbers. Pretty easy really.


Over the last 10 years, electricity price has increased about 30%, while gas has increased 42%.
