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)

Congrats. 99% of people end up loving their teslas. A lot of my friends buy one and then their spouse takes over the first tesla and then they have to buy ANOTHER tesla. laugh out loud

its sad that so many miserable people on the internet try to convince everyone that theyre somehow a bad person for buying a car of all things.
It's just jealousy. They can't afford it and so they bash it

After a week of owning my 2023 MYLR, I would like to come back to this forum and appreciate the OP for posting this deal. I couldn't believe that I would get my 1st EV car by reading through Slickdeals.
I've been looking at PHEV or EV for almost a year now, and never once I considered buying a Tesla because their price range seems too high. All other options are with less range, and with the markup price from dealers. When I saw this post on Slickdeals last Thursday night, I knew that this is a good deal.
1/13 @ 0050. Placed the order for an inventory MYLR black/black with no other add on, and uploaded registration documents.
1/13 @ 0923. Received email to schedule delivery.
1/15 @0900. Brand new car delivered to my driveway.
Not only me but the entire family has been in love with the new car. I really couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank Slickdeals. 😊
Come back here in 6 months and give us your opinion.

From a well informed customer's perspective I would like to point out that for some pros outweighs the cons and for others it's the opposite. For me the cons are ,
8yr battery support and then you are on your own
The inside of a base model looks nothing like a premium car. For 50k+ any car better look nice inside out with features MHO
Most of my friends who have been using this car or has bought it in past year or so, more than half has some issues and Tesla service is a nightmare.
Any feature worth having requires premium plan
6000 more to get what other cars are giving by default as per new government mandate taking in effect in near term
15000 for saying FSD, fully self drivable, just stop saying that. It has fancy parking, summoning, lane changing and ramp off functions, they are not FSD.

To me all these cons doesn't cut it simple because I believe in next 3-5 years we will have better cars for cheap and worth the money we pay.

Still to each it's own.. this is just my opinion for future car buyers to keep in mind and research a bit more before going gaga!!

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?
Don't be discouraged. GM cut check for ~$6K back to people who bought a Bolt just before a price cut.

Well I'm glad you feel that way and would be willing to just throw 4-5 figures out the window, but many would not. While what Tesla did is completely legal, it is not ethical and does not build good faith.

If you don't believe me, just look at what GM did with the people who bought a 2022 Bolt just before the price cut, They REFUNDED them about $6K and they didn't even have to ask.

Good Luck with Tesla

GM offers Chevy Bolt EV owners $6,000 if they promise not to sue over battery fire recall fiasco

Is this the same thing? GM basically knew the battery was crap and let people park a bomb inside their families garage and offered paltry $6000?

Terrible road noise in the Tesla I rented at Hertz. Doors felt cheap when closed. Far from luxury.

Looks like there is mounting pressure for Tesla to make this right.

"Insider reported on Saturday that one Tesla buyer yet to take delivery of his car said the company reduced the cost of his order by about $12,000 after he complained about missing out on price cuts. "

I believe this is standard practice. Those who ordered before the price cut and had delivery after the price cut had their orders adjusted to the new price.

When I add payment method to a bank account on Tesla app, does it simply add the bank or it also pays the final amount at the same time? I just want to add the bank account and keep it ready and not pay anything for now. Please advise. Thanks

It just adds the bank account and doesn't pay.
