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)

Not understanding you. I have complete confidence in Toyota and have 2, along with a Honda Odyssey.
Toyota doesn't forecast they're going to sell very many Prius, slightly more than last year. It's not a very difficult concept to get.

And to your recently quoted Bay area point, amzn & msft are WA companies; tech layoffs result of unabated easy money expansion (large portion H1-B) & pie in sky multiples; Commercial RE occupancy is down largely due to WFH & tech indice is doing superb in Jan; CA is poised to overtake Germany as fourth largest economy. The sky isn't really falling the way you think it is,except maybe for Prius prospects beyond 40k/yr deliveries.

New Prius is $27,450 LE with 57 city / 56 highway mpg. Prius has more room than the 3 with no planning a road trip around a charger map. They will sell a lot of them.
The Prius has less room than the Y. How much is the full electric Prius. It's better looking than the previous Prius and slightly smaller. But they will sell a lot of them.

There is no set date yet. Below information is from IRS website.

Q4. Do the new critical mineral and battery components requirements apply? (added December 29, 2022)

A4. Not yet. The critical mineral and battery component requirements under § 30D(e) will apply for vehicles placed in service after proposed guidance on these requirements is issued. The publication of these FAQs is not the issuance of proposed guidance with respect to the critical mineral and battery component requirements under § 30D(e) and does not trigger the applicability of those requirements. The Treasury Department and the IRS will explicitly identify when they have issued proposed guidance with respect to the critical mineral and battery component requirements under § 30D(e). However, vehicles ordered or purchased prior to but placed in service after Treasury and the IRS issue this proposed guidance will be subject to the critical mineral and battery component requirements. This proposed guidance is expected to be issued in March 2023.

What? SF commercial RE vacancy is 28% and expected to hit 38% later this year. Friend just shut down one of his 2 restaurants/wine bar in SF. Apple will announce layoffs soon. My son in law is a engineer with them and in the know. There has been 70,000 layoffs in tech the past 2 months and more to come. Lots of negative ripple effect. How can you not see that? Never said the sky was falling, but we are in a recession that's going to get worse. Look at the GDP and report back. It was 2% in 2022. Under Trump it was 5.75% in 2021. Btw, I hope Tesla sells a lot of cars as it's great for our economy, but they are certainly not a good fit for most people.

Navy Federal is 4.54% (up to 36 mo), 4.74% (37-60 mo), and 5.04% (61-72 mo). If you qualify for PenFed you should be eligible for NavyFCU too.
Thanks. I'll look into it. Sadly, I was looking into the difference a 1% makes. Surprisingly, it ain't much! I understand a dollar is a dollar, but I was hoping for a larger difference. I'm still looking and will check into this. I bet the difference in .3 % is $10 ish. But that's times 72. $720, so I guess it matters. Thanks again.

LMAOLMAO Yeah, good point. But I think it's slowly going to spread to those other 49 states. Just my opinion. That unemployment rate, has to go up, significantly relatively speaking.

No one said it's March 1st. We just know updated regs will come out in March. That means that all we know is that it is after 2/28. That doesn't mean 3/1.

There are many saying it's March 1st. We do know it's after 2/28, that's my point.

Right. So if you want to be 100% sure, get it before 3/1. Plenty of folks are likely to get it on 3/1 and after, we just can't be 100% sure.

Yeah, that's the way it looks. Hopefully there'll be more clarification in coming weeks. I did already order, but It just seems like a wait and see. I took all the steps, except!! I applied for the loan days after putting my order in and paying the fee. My loan application was accepted, but I didn't know they wanted me to get on the app and accept the terms. I just accepted terms yesterday. I put the order in around Jan 14th I think. I'm wondering if my order paused and went to the end of the line till I accepted loan terms? So I don't know. I"m just waiting to see what happens. If it's after (whatever) the cutoff, I'm out. Along with many others I'm guessing.
