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 have a hard time to park my tiny car garage. Tesla is design for backing parking not head on park. Also a hard time in downtown street parallel parking. Not much different for old time car 2000 Honda civic.
Ohh okay, but from the rumors from threads i have heard they will implement an birds eye view for the tesla since they already have cameras on the sides back and front. Lets see if thats possible i dont see why not since they already have the hardware and software to do so ...

That article is correct. I listened to the Q4 presser. But don't undercut the 2024 is the when real production will begin. And then when will it be available for non CT vehicles? The only thing that worries me about my MYLR purchase is MYAWD being released here in the coming months with 4680 structural pack and HW4. But then half rebate is the max if that.

The mobile charger I ordered along with my MYLR just shipped out. Does that mean I'll be getting my car real soon? Still no VIN tho
You have a deliver date in the app but no VIN? I got VIN and then delivery date. Need VIN to setup insurance and loan.

Are the prices gonna increase for the 4680 and HW4 if we already ordered MYLR in Jan ?

We don't know if the rebate will be cut in half. In fact, LG is saying they will build cells for Tesla too. I would be surprised if Tesla doesn't get the full rebate.

There has been no discussion about MYLR getting 4680. 4680 is mostly a cost savings/increased production step for Tesla. Though people claim the 4680 structural pack reduces vehicle weight and is more quiet due to a different frame. First vehicle to go 4680 will be MYAWD (not LR). When we will see this as an option to order is anyones guess. If you want more info you have to read Chinese sources as they are released there

The MYLR will get 4680s, eventually. But it could literally be years.

The rebate isn't just about batteries produced here but also where their materials are sourced. Last year I did a deep dive into this and people in the industry questioned how it would be possible to meet the laws requirements. The only thing good to come from the law is we can get full rebate until the Treasury evaluates (March). But the White House has been strongly behind the bill and I do see it becoming more easy to meet.

You can always wait more. Everything in life is a gamble. Maybe by Thanksgiving the rebate will still be on and cheaper MYAWD will be available with 4680s. I don't think it will have HW4 though. I think the CT will be the first for that.

I just said there has been no discussion. But MYAWD do exist with 4680s so we know thats a thing. Just very rare in the US currently.

I am in the process now but not completed the loan/funding.
Have been preapproved and submitted all the documents including notary.
The preapporaval times seem to vary but mine was just a few days.
The membership though is still in Referred status. If you thinking to use them don't wait its for sure a week to 2 week process and not instant like with Tesla.

If Tesla doesn't qualify, then I don't think anyone will. And I doubt they made the rebate in such a way no one can qualify for it. Tesla already uses very low amounts of cobalt, for example, in their NCA cells.

I have a day 1 order for CT. Pretty sure I won't see it before mid 2024 at soonest
