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)

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.
thanks, how much time do you get to line up your loan? and how long can you delay it?

Many people are saying they have additional booking done, so can we book it now but deny to go ahead by losing $250 booking fee? If so till when we can hold the booking before denying delivery?

in my case, none at all, not even by a day. guess it depends on location (i'm in NJ), and how much inventory they are moving v/s how much capacity they have.

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.
so lets get this straight.. when people bought their car back in 19/20/early 21 for cheap n resold use for more than what they paid for.. should tesla be entitled to the profit that u got from the appreciation?

no?

so if u signed back in december n now theres a discount.. thats on u right?

This is what's so hilarious about the whole price cut ordeal. In my opinion, these cars were way overpriced to begin with. I didnt see the value in them for the asking price and sat out. Even now, I believe the 3 and Y are still a $6-7k overpriced before any credits. Only now after the price cuts are they coming back down to what they are realistically worth. The same goes for many ICE vehicles on the market...overpriced at MSRP and definitely so after these market adjustments that dealers are applying.

Those that bought at the original price before the cuts, even if a day before- that's totally on you. You felt the price was acceptable at the time of purchase. You felt comfortable that for what the car offers, the features, and name, it checked the boxes..so quit whining. You win some, lose some.
2-3 year ago.. the same ice cars cost 5k less than now.. i dont see people getting mad.. n then dealers add on another 5k.. n here we are in the age of 30k+ civic and corollas

Discounts for cash? LOL this isn't 1950 man, financing is king and has been for a very long time. You pay the price you see online. Cash sales are 2nd class citizens at this point. You get worse deals at dealerships when trying to pay cash since they cant make any money off the loan.
I have been able to recently purchase 2 cars both in cash deals and was able to get them for a good discount below asking price. Maybe it would've gone that way regardless of financing or not. Just not too familiar with Tesla's car sales practices.

Cool, because we also buy our cars with cash (check actually), not financing.

I think it's hilarious some of you telling people that they need to suck up for a $13k hit for a price change in 1 month. These are the same people who whine because Amazon no longer has a price guarantee and complain over $1 change in price.

Tesla doesn't do that but they previously matched 3rd party financing parity with lump sum check, maybe still do? Saved me $800, GLTA!

Yeah I usually don't mention anything about the method of payment until the price of the car is agreed upon. And then I just tell them okay and write the check and no need to go through the whole financial advisor ordeal just wasting time.
