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)

Thanks. East Coast. From what I have read, if you opt for the white interior then it's from Fremont.

Ahhhh! Ok so the "Account no" is the reservation number from Tesla and not my loan # on Tower?
Wish they would have worded it correctly, confused me. Thanks for the feedback!

What are the advantages of getting a car from Fremont?

My brother lives in texas but he did order a car with white interior. So will he likely get a Fremont car?

What's up with Tower? I'm still confused why we have to send a specific power of attorney to get the loan with Tower. Other lenders don't do that. Anyone else concerned that power of attorney is needed for the auto loan?
Penfed or dcu never asked for such documents. Is there any template or sample document for "specific power of attorney".. Thanks

The matrix light can be identified from the bottom inside the light assembly. Matrix light has black bottom, ours is silver, which is the regular version. Radar sensor can be identified by little circle dots around the bumper, ours has none (not to confuse with the large circle opening for towing). The Ryzen chip can be identified from the car info from the console screen, it has information about the car software and hardware specs.
Has any model Y got radar yet?

What's the advantage of the matrix light and Ryzen chip?


If the car do not have these features when picking it up, can you turn the car down and remain on the list for the next available car?

Right now, a while. My loan application is approved and pending membership approval. I applied for membership on the same day at the same time but it's currently taking over a week if that gives you any indication. Status still simply shows "Referred".
I got the car ready for pickup 2 weeks back and I scheduled for pick up in 5 days hoping to get loan approved from towerfcu in my daughter's name and she got it approved in 4 days but they wouldnt send me check without having an account with them. I had to pay cash and pick up the car. They said I can still get the check from towerfcu as far as I get all documentation done in 90 days. I applied for membership by paying $35 to charity. I will contact them one my acct is created and hoping they would send me check. The APR approved was 2.99

To be honest, I rather go with TX as I hear they have better quality. Those lights don't make too big of a difference to me.

1/13, just got the VIN today! MYLR, white/white, Fremont. 2/6 pickup. So excited and nervous at the same time. Really hope there won't be any glaring issues that force me to turn it down.
Congrats! Approx what time did you order on 1/13? I ordered 1/13 ~2200 ET (MYLR white exterior / black interior, complete base model) but still no VIN. Estimate delivery 1/26-2/23.

I file my taxes jointly with my spouse. If the model y title has just my name, will we still get the credit of $7500?
Yes, just make sure you don't make over $300k combined.

Yes, people say if it's white interior then it will be from Fremont. And for me at least they were right. The main benefit Fremont offers seems to be the Matrix lights.

Thanks. I placed my order a bit before 1pm ET 1/13. The initial estimated delivery time provided was 2/4-3/4.

Because you live in a different State. Standard operation.
