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)

"In late December, Treasury said it would delay the rollout of these strict new requirements until March. But under Manchin's bill, the requirements would retroactively take effect on Jan. 1."

I don't know what Manchin's problem is but he is pushing hard for ev tax credit to go away asap specially the $3750 related to battery requirement. No company can meet those requirements.

My loan approval took 6 days, got it yesterday. Membership was also about 6 days. Got that last week. I hadn't thought to apply for both on the same day.

That said, the paperwork I need to send back to Tower for the loan means I'm likely going to pay cash and then refi from them. For many, Tesla provides the vin when the car is ready for pickup and gives you three days. No way od be able to get the form notarized, TFCU process it, and a check overnighted in that timeframe.
I hope you are right. I submitted my membership app 1/22 evening and did not know you can do the loan app separately without membership so I submitted that last night.
My Tesla provided VIN but my estimated M3P delivery is Feb 10 -17 so hoping either Tower or GCU can get there stuff together in time to fund the loan to Tesla.
Are you saying its better to pay cash and refinance with once a CU if it does not get funded in time? I believe others are financing with Tesla and then attempting refi. Did not know you can refi when there is no loan on the car.

Tower was pretty efficient for me so far although I did have to call in and speak to them. They were extremely pleasant and helped move things along. I applied for both last week, and my check should be dispersed today.
For everyone else, above when is say I will likely end up using Tower for a refi vs. the purchase, this is because of Tesla waiting on giving me the vin. If I would get the vin before I had to schedule pickup (like many folks do), I am confident I could get things done in time to use Tower directly.

This happened yesterday Jan 25, excerpt from WP article, let's hope this bill does not pass
"Manchin doubles down on EV tax credits in climate law, despite trade tensions with Europe
Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) unveiled a bill today to halt tax credits for electric vehicles that don't satisfy the battery sourcing requirements in the Inflation Reduction Act.
The measure could increase tensions in Europe, where leaders already worry that America's climate law will unfairly disadvantage their clean-energy industries, and in Washington, where the Biden administration is still racing to implement the landmark law.
The legislation, dubbed the American Vehicle Security Act, would direct the Treasury Department to stop issuing tax credits for EVs that don't comply with the climate law's battery sourcing provisions."

Cash out refis all depend on the lender. I've used PenFed before to take a 1.49% loan on my paid off Toyota and used that to pay off my 6.8% student loans. Similarly, I used DCU to take a 1.74% loan on my Model S (that had no loan on it already) to buy my solar array and carry me until the fed and local incentives got paid out.

Worst case scenario is that if Tower doesn't offer a cash out option, I'll just get a loan from another lender to then refi at Tower. I prefer not to use Tesla's process since I rather finance the whole thing and leave my cash invested. The money I'll use for the Model Y was going to be for Treasury Bill purchases, but it's fine if that is delayed a month.

Tesla would get loads of cancellations if the cars not delivered in time for these restrictions.

$250 x 10,000 = $2,500,000 of free money for Tesla. Peace

Rates have nothing to do with what I said. I said I took out auto loan refis without an existing loan on the car because the rate I could get was advantageous for what I would use the funds for. The current rate environment is just as valid for that. If you can get a Tower loan at 2.24% (they have it advertised right now), that is potentially a better venue for a person than paying cash.
