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)

4.99% is what I got, .50 off for being their premium member, and .25 off for buying EV.
Is that .75 off before or after the 4.99? Cost for being premium member? Any penalty for paying off the loan the next month?

Quote from Knightshade :
Fed rebate is based on MSRP, not any discounts at point of sale.

I'm currently seeing all of 337 total 3/Y in the entire country in inventory priced above 55k right now here:
https://ev-cpo.com/
(you can filter on US only, new only, and the 55k price limit to get these same results)

337 cars is....about 2 hours of factory production worldwide for Tesla at the 2022 run rate (2023 will be ~50% higher). Hardly a glut of inventory.


They're not going to just make all options free for new orders (which they'd need to do to meet the MSRP requirement for your plan) in hope of moving a tiny # of inventory cars already built with those options.

Instead they're likely ONLY building sub 55k configured inventory cars between now and March (plus 7 seat Ys, which have an 80k price cap), knowing they will go quickly.
To simplify, if there is a $56k Tesla and you get the location to throw in the paint color for free making it $55k, you still aren't eligible for the tax credit. It's the MSRP that matters.

No drawbacks. Three of my friends bought used ones and they are all happy. Since Tesla is all about quality control, I would be extra careful and test drive to check - rattling noise, shock absorbers, door/trunk-frunk gaps and the range it shows after a full charge.

Good luck with your purchase.

Waiting game i guessjust hoping i get the full 7500 credit
OK i know no one knows this for 100% sure but what is the general consensus of what "by March" means? The day before March? Mid March? Sometimes in March? End of March? I cannot believe that that the #1 most important information is the actual date when the current 7500 tax credit expires and not one place has a legitimate exact date or what it even means. I have placed a reservation for MYLR on 1/19 EDD says Jan-March as of today.

I am not blaming Tesla for this since they have discounted their vehicles already and they're taking advantage of this hoopla to sell their cars. I get it. It is not fraudulent either but ,at the very least, dishonest.

About what? To keep parroting on their website that the 7,500 credit on qualified cars and buyers if taking "deliveries until March." Since no one bothers to read the fine print, some people see it as that as long as it's during month of March, they will qualify.

That is likely to be incorrect and so many have by then already put their 250 nonrefundable deposits. Another problem is If you have delivery dates shown on the site / app by tesla to be during the month of Feb and your delivery is delayed until March, even by 1 day, that could be a 7500 mistake or at the very least 3750 depending on what the gov decide.

So take a screenshots of your current delivery date if they are in Feb so if you don't take delivery if the car gets delayed, you could maybe a case with the credit card and get the refund back.

I know that Tesla is just copying and pasting what every mindless news sites site wrote but if they practice in good faith, they should maybe put an asterisk on their site next to March* 2023. It likely means until end of February.

Sorry for the rant.

Dont be sorry completely understand your frustration, and we are all trying to take advantage of the rebate. Well let see right it could be end of march or it could be extended who knows at this point im just happy that i completed all the tasks within the tesla app. I go in every morning hoping i would get a VIN number assigned at the very least.

If i dont get the 7500 ill be okay but it will hurt, i look at it this way i am already in the green with 500 since they increased the price.

I ordered the tesla wall connector for $350 and i noticed they changed the price to 450 now so thats another 100 i saved.

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!
I had the same experience with Plano pickup. Despite checking for more than 16 hours, one finally appeared for this Saturday. Even though it rained yesterday, many people picked up their cars in rain.

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."

that's why it is best to take the delivery before March, so there is no ambiguities.
that said, if 7500 rebate is the only reason one would want this car, then you can always reject the car if it past the deadline. Yes you will lose 250 USD, but that's nothing in the grand scheme of things, and i am sure you could file charge back on your credit card for reasons such as product not delivered on time or something.
