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)

Don't do it often, but occasionally drain below 10% and then let charge 100%, including that extra hour where it is at 99%. Below 10% to 99% recalibrates and then that top off rebalances the cells in the pack. I don't do this purposefully, it just happens naturally on some of my road trips.
How often would you recommend it? Like everyone 5000 miles?

$ 3.19 is today's price of regular unleaded gas in my area. I live in MA. I pay 25.77c/KW (supplier Rate) and a delivery Rate of 16.095c/KW. Most people who are a using Electricity rates for gas cost savings comparisons are not including the delivery rates. Gas cost savings are frequently cited as the reason to transition to EV. There are several other reasons to transition to EV, GAS cost savings is no longer one of them.
Ok makes sense but again you are in the higher tier of electric cost. I was in CT until a few months ago and rates were 22c including delivery, however I heard that they are doubling the rate as of jan 1 which is indeed a significant increase. I don't think we can however make these blanket statements that gas savings isn't significant. I still feel that it is for a lot of Americans, again its going to be ymmv per state.

All people here are budget thinkers, but HOW MANY OF YOU can afford a tesla?
May be, 0.1% can afford a tesla, ordered one and looking for valuable information here. The rest 99.9% are discussing garbage (or Joey would say "Moo Point").

I've done it every 6-9 months, but again, that has just happened to be when the road trips fall into place.

Does anybody know if the chargers (mobile or wall) are shipped to your house separately or do you pick that up when you pick up the car?
I placed an order for the MY last Thursday and included the Tesla wall charger. The charger shipped UPS and will arrive to my home by this Wednesday. No update on my delivery date for the car yet.

My 2013 still gets 94% of the original capacity with 250 miles on a full charge vs. the original 265. I'm not concerned about the batteries nor the replacement cost for something 10 years old and still going strong.

That is encouraging to hear. I don't drive a lot, so years or longevity of battery usability matters more to me than miles driven. If after 12 years the battery life is shortened to 120-150 miles, I could still use it for my daily commute, driving around the city, or weekend errands. Works for me.

so if they had raised the price, is tesla now entitled to the difference? no one forced anyone to buy the car at those prices. it sucks, deal with it and move on rather than be so entitled. besides, those that sold/traded their old cars would have gotten significantly more for it than what it would be worth now.
Everyone can have their own opinion. The last time I checked, this is a deal forum where the community is trying to maximize their deal to the extend possible. For those folks who bought the Tesla during Q4, there's a potential to obtain additional benefits if the petition goes through and Tesla responded, even though it may be a long shot.

Did I say anything about if those folks who bought the Tesla entitled the differences? My intention is ask if Tesla can show good will. If trying to help SD community to maximize their deal is entitled, then, sure, hell yeah! But this also bet the other question, if you are not helping, then you can STFU or stop being a troll. What you said is true, if Tesla raised their price, are you telling the SD community members to pay back the differences? If that's the case, what are you doing here?

You'll get a text msg and an email to book it online. They'll give you a couple dates and bunch of time slots. I tried to push back mine by 3 days but was told if I don't pick up on one of the two days, my VIN will be given to next in the line. Idiotic at best.

umm...ok...that was a rhetorical question about paying back tesla. the "deal" was done when you signed the paper. everyone gets it that it sucks to lose 13k but that is the reality. what about those who were about to sell/trade their used teslas that all of a sudden its now worth much less. did they not lose money same as you did? why shouldn't they be entitled to the same compensation? where do you draw the line? at least those that traded/sold their used cars last year made a killing that in some cases will more than make up for the price drop. heck i wish my current car is worth what it was few months ago but again that is the reality.
