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

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)

I know this amount varies for everyone and based on coverage, age, and many different factors, but what is the insurance cost on a Model 3 in California?

Looks like Tesla is considering $250 online booking fees as a deposit. In my case I ordered MYLR blue exterior + white interior. Total was 54,990 before order fee and destination fees.
But if 250 is considered as deposit then my cars value goes up by 250 to $55,240.

Am I still eligible for the $7500 rebate?

No, they don't consider it a deposit. It's an order fee that they charge just to order the car. Just the same way as the destination fee is not part of the car price, neither is the order fee.

I agree with all of your point except Cost Savings. I dont own a Tesla or Any EV for that matter. But you dont need to own one to do some math based on facts. Here are some hard numbers on gas cost savings.

A Hybrid (Honda accord, Toyota corolla Hybrid or equivalent) averages around 48 MPG. Regular Gas in my State is $3.19. 2022 Model Y LR is rated as 0.28 KW/Mile. The cost of electricity for me 41.8 cents/KW. At that rate Model Y would give me an equivalent of 27.21 MPG (3.19/(0.28*41.8). The 10k that Model Y is priced more than an equivalent Hybrid will save me a monthly Interest of $42 @ 5% APR.

In order to realize any cost savings compared to a Hybrid for anyone (including the interest savings), the Electricity Rate must be less than 9 cents/KW (24 cents without interest savings). I understand there are a few states that might have Electricity prices lower that 9 cents, But it is not universally true. Most EV customers are paying in in more in electricity costs, than a comparable gas hybrid. There so many other good reasons, people choose buy EV right?. I agree with most of the points you make, but with today's electricity prices, Gas Cost savings is just not true anymore.
ouch 41c/kwh is very high. here in fl its 12c/kwh while average cost in the us is 16c so your calculation is quite outside the norms. also, similar sized hybrid suv like 2023 cr-v is average 40mpg which further reduces the cost for the y.

just go here and plug in the numbers to see. mylr is 3.57 mi/kwh. for my locality, ev comes out to 90mpg compared to 40mpg hybrid.

I got my charger delivered 2 days after ordering… although I ordered 2 chargers and only the one that was ordered separately has shipped. The one I ordered along with the car has not shipped.

Did you consider the electricity delivery cost too? it usually the same cost of the electricity itself, for your case, 12c/kw for the electricity means about 24c/kw at true cost..

the delivery fee is usually a fixed cost regardless of usage and then you are charged a variable cost of kwh, at least everywhere i've lived

Long Range and Performance Model Ys use 2170s.

Only Standard Ranges (269mi) built in Austin have 4680s. You have to find those in available inventory, can't custom build.
