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)

Be careful.

The $7,500 tax credit eligibility is based on the MSRP (minus Destination fee, minus software upgrades, etc.), not the actual negotiated price.
I didn't know this. Thanks for the heads up.

I ordered a White Model Y, with 0 added options. Ordered Jan 13. No Vin yet but delivery states Jan 30 - Feb 27. I'm in Los Angeles. Anyone want to take over my order for $250?

We are looking to get the model 3 instead.
Call Tesla and they will transfer your Model Y order to Model 3.

I cant wait to see this bar graph for 2023 [see attachment]

Theres a very good chance tesla has already sold more model 3 and model y in january than kia/hyundai/ford/vw will sell in the entire year combined. tesla shorts probably wishing they closed their position

100% wrong, charge as much or as little as you need.
Yeah, just wasting time . I have had mine for almost 5 years and I just charge whenever I can/need. No real degradation so far.

Model 3 still same price; guess the demand for Model Y is too great.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank SDSummerDay

500 dollar increase probably give you matrix lights and next gen sensors.
Which is well worth it I suppose

anyways, bought Y on 13th, get vin a few days later and is ready to pick up this week. seems like Tesla had no issues building cars despite the increase in demand

doesnt matter the fact that people have been driving huge ass cars and dont need sensor to drive.. just admit that you're a shitty driver and hate tesla to nitpick about everything... go ahead n enjoy your 30k civic/corolla with parking sensor LOL
that escalated real fast... i genuinely thought this is a discussion on modem car design and their challenges for drivers calls for some sort of parking assist. never did i say tesla's park assist is insufficient in anyway.

for what's wroth, i have a model Y. so vent elsewhere.

I see it as same build but price increase. Maybe I misread but what do you mean by increasing giving matrix lights and sensors?

This is a true story, today at the Costco parking lot. 3 white model y with normal wheels parked next to each other and 3 owners showed up almost the same time after shopping. All three scratched their heads trying to figure out which one is theirs. This is in California. Lol

According to IRS website:

" A vehicle's eligibility for the new clean vehicle credit is generally based on the criteria that apply as of the date a vehicle is placed in service, meaning the date the taxpayer takes delivery of the vehicle. "

do you think, the folks who ordered 5 seater MY LR AWD configuration with an MSRP under $55K at the time of ordering and have not received the car yet, will be eligible for $7500 tax credit since the MSRP for that configuration at the time of delivery will be above the IRS threshold of $55K?
