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.
Interesting stuff! Joe loves being in the lime light. Thanks for the info.

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.
DAMN! Speed doesn't appear to be a priority at Tower. I just avoid them after all the comments. Years ago, I went with PenFed. I could not believe how fast and efficient they are. Total shock. Unfortunately, their rates are not competitive this time around. But almost 2 weeks and still don't have a check? I'm looking elsewhere for sure.

Quote from CycloneFW :
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.
What kind of PenFed loan is 1.49%?
What is DCU and what kind of 1.74% loan?

Thanks

Ordered day after the price reduction. Just had VIN assigned this morning and I've been prompted to setup a delivery date. Unfortunately when I go to make an appointment it says there are no delivery appointments available.

Seems there are a lot of folks in the DFW that jumped on the bandwagon!
Out of curiosity, in the 11th digit of the vin, is it A (Austin) or F (Fremont)? And what did you order

Thanks for the info. I checked it out and it appears the rates aren't any better than Tesla?
6 year, a little lower. 7 year, a little higher. Unless I'm missing something. It happens

4.99% is what I got, .50 off for being their premium member, and .25 off for buying EV.
