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)

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.
Fair enough....it could be one of the initial signs, yeah

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.
between a 30k marked up corolla civic vs 37k tesla.. tesla is the better deal
those new priuses wont be had for at msrp for sure...


IRA is working as intended as it has a huge ripple effect on the dealers...

Plaid 7:35 Nürburgring lap disagrees w/ your blanket Tesla assertion. And 7:44 to 8:10 (3P) isn't exactly boring, esp at price point.

HaHa are you kidding? 7:35 is a horrible time.

I won't even list all of the Porsche and Mercedes that beat that time...by a lot but...

C6, C7, and C8 corvettes all have a faster time.

Try again. That is where the Plaid is embarrassed LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

Damn your parents f***ed up if you think a 2 door is the same number as 4 doors. Do you even know how to tie your shoes?

Custom Ordered on 1/13. Picked mine up today. Didn't really find any issue's. A bunch of people picked up today at the same time. They all seem to be happy. Nobody identified any major issues. Asked the rep about gap problems, he said the cars out of Austin have much less number of pieces so there isn't really any gap problem these days

Overall very happy with my purchase. Basically 46.5K for a LR model Y. Car is driving fantastic. Suspension is a bit rough over pot holes but I can live with that.

No specific dates end date is mentioned. Assumption (by Tesla dealers and other expert in online community) is it will be available till Mar 31. Again all speculations!!!

That's what I was thinking! That time is nothing to write about. C7 owner here, and have seen some model 3's with performance move. But not on curves. It's all over when turning.

Lucky you! It seems like Tesla doesn't update. How did they let you know, your car is arriving? How long before it arrived? I'm in Calif and ordered I think on the 14th, but didn't complete loan app till yesterday!
