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)

Tesla doesn't save money on gas. Electricity bill, high insurance cost, and future repair cost. For ppl who can't do math Just invest the money and it will pay for gas. Tesla used to be cool, now there's toooo many on the road and have owner reputation that used to be held by Prius and bmw 3 series owner. It's now just an over priced Camry of EVs pretending to be luxury. Owners think they are better/smarter than others. Elon will kick u again w new model and radar soon.

Electricity bill is cheap considering you get 4c for mile. Yes for high insurance cost. The warranty is for 8 years. Tesla comparison is to BMW and Mercedes cars not Toyota Camry even Toyota Camry hybrid is expensive these days. The 7.5k and cost reduction offsets the high price tag hence most people are buying it. The driving experience is much better than the gas cars.

For those who worry about insurance costs, I use Costco connect (AM FAM) and they are charging me roughly 500$ for six months for a MY 2023 NEW versus my 2022 RAV4 Hybrid NEW around 400$ for six months, so the cost isn't that much more...

BTW, the Tesla Insurance sucks hard, get off of it asap. safety score penalty for driving past 10 PM ???? WOW TESLA LMAO

Repair cost on the car (assuming not covered by warranty) is all driver dependent, if you suck at driving, any car can be costly! Be weary of tire rash!laugh out loud

Tesla (and GM) had long since passed the 200k manufacturer limit, so aren't eligible for the prior credit.

Thank you. I guess many others were too embarrassed to provide a response. I thought there had to be more to the story. I mean if it can drive itself, why can't it avoid a curb? Looking forward to the CyberTruck as well. Model Ys are becoming as common as Honda Accords, which indicates it has been successful, but I believe many buy it as a status symbol which it no longer is.
No it's actually too embarrassing for you

No car is driving by itself today

There are plenty of bad drivers, people can't park without sensors lol

You make 60 but are buying a 55k overpriced depreciating asset. Brilliant idea. How American of you.
You don't know this person or their financial situation, yet you feel it necessary to try and put them down? Or was that a dig at all Americans?

I guess you were trying to brag, but it really shows you are insecure.

Spoken like a true non-owner (I'm guessing). Here is my experience as a owner that does normal commutes to work 30min per day one way plus 2-3 longer road trips per year

1. Gas savings is real...plenty of reports out there that corroborate this
2. The car is extremely fun to drive, I can't drive a gas car anymore since I feel like it lags like hell.. I'm talking about regular ice cars not like a sports car or anything
3. Option to subsidize gas costs further if you have solar
4. Fsd and autopilot generally work well but it's hit or miss. Having it though is a game changer especially if you drive in a lot of traffic etc.
5. One pedal driving is another game changer but not specific to tesla, just any ev
6. Minimal cost on maintenance, so far in over 2.5 yrs of my ownership all I have done is replace the cabin filter and windshield fluid
7. Even if 100% of your electric comes from fossil fuels in general driving a ev is more environmental friendly since they are about 80-90% efficient compared to gas cars at about 40%
8. The most underrated thing in a tesla is the audio, it is phenomenal


Now to the negatives
1. Build quality is def something that can be improved in general but some of the later builds are much much improved
2. I wouldn't call the tesla a luxury car In a traditional sense, it's more of a tech car. It's just a different class
3. Lacks some basic functions like back up sensor and even garage opener is an add on
4. Service can be a PITA depending on where you live but it's getting better
5. I really don't mind the styling, yes it's getting a bit stale but that's subjective and doesn't bother me at all

Agree. he is not paying 55k upfront. He may not have other commitments and can afford 55k to pay back in the next 5-7 years.

Hybrid does not equal full electric. Now you have two systems aging rather than 1. I'd rather just have a gas vehicle. Most of us recognize that full electric need essentially no maintenance and that is pure savings.

Interest rates are a lot higher now though so it's a real consideration for people who are lower income. Going to eat up a lot of money per year paying that loan. Raining money for the banks.
This is a good point to be made. I assume many hope to buy now and refi later. The housing market has slowed but it hasn't stopped.

I thought these cars had a summon feature? Is that not driving by itself? Maybe you embarrassed yourself?

Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve Model 3 while you are standing outside the vehicle. Summon moves Model 3 forward and reverse up to 12 meters in, or out of, a parking space.

To move Model 3 a longer distance while steering around objects, you can use Smart Summon (if equipped) and your mobile phone. Smart Summon allows your vehicle to find you (or you can send your vehicle to a chosen location). See Smart Summon.

I am supporting battery cars only 😀... My reply was to say Hybrid itself costs 33k
