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)

One of my close friend bought 1000x Tesla stock at 116$ about 3 weeks ago. He told me one hour ago that he sell all tesla stocks and use his profit to order a new MY LR this morning (by the way, he doesn't care the half Federal tax rebate after March 2023) Smilie

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.
Here is what Tower rep said me don't worry if it didn't happen early just take dealer finance and keep us updated and we can switch from purchase to refinance easy..
sounds good but just worried about the 7500 rebate does it get affected due to refinance anyone aware?

The federal tax credit of $7500 because its post tax would be like having a short term capital gain of $11000 on $30000 worth of tesla shares (about 33% gain)

Your friend basically had the same performance as everyone who got the federal tax rebate. Except kind of worse, because he invested $116,000 and has to pay prob 40% taxes on it.

I wouldn't want to pay the short-term capital gains on that! Nice $60,000 profit. Hopefully he bought it in a tax sheltered account & has the available cash. Hope he enjoys his new car!

No your financing and the rebate have no relation. The rebate is based on separate factors posted in the OP. Just make sure you stay below the 55K for the MSRP (i.e careful on colors and options).

For those stock investors, TSLA isn't much different than the other momentum/ARK stocks that got killed last year.

Heck, Lucid was up nearly 100% today alone!

Shopify, Wayfair, Coinbase have all doubled off their lows last fall.

Even Casino stocks like LVS and WYNN are up nearly 100% from their 22 lows.

As always, its timing (virtually impossible) and sector selection which determines market outperformance...TSLA is just one of many.

Question on tax credit. I am planning to register MYLR with my name and cousin name and we both reside in same state. When I file tax returns can I claim full EV federal tax credit as I fall below IRS threshold limit. (Note: Cousin doesn't qualify for EV credit as income is more than IRA limits)

Do you mind sharing your down payment and rate? I just submitted today and once I receive preapproval, I'll apply for membership which costs $35 for application I believe? MYLR is expected 2/6-2/13.

Yep. Gotta love the turd polishers that say "if you know how to park you dont need it". Sure I dont "need" it but there are a lot of features on tesla I don't "need". Fact is a parking sensor suite is nice. Especially if its 360 camera parking

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
That's essentially the interpretation of the bill. No manufacturer will fully qualify and certainly not as the law matures and becomes even more stringent. Which puts us in an interesting situation where we get full rebate until Treasury weighs in. And I bet they are much more currently tied up in the debt ceiling complication.

If you listen to the Q4 presser yesterday, ya you're not getting a CT until 2024 for sure. He doesn't say exactly but the CT will be a first for so many things, issues will have to get worked out in the most nontransparent way that tesla thrives at.

I decided to pull the trigger on the MYLR and have a VIN but I really don't need the LR and the MYAWD intrigues me but who knows when Austin will switch to them especially with their current orders so I guess MYLR it is.

I didn't understand the need for sensors until I bought a new SUV. The blind spots are real! Without cross traffic & blind spot monitors you are doomed. The backup camera is good enough for backing into a garage or parking space. I have no experience with Tesla, they may not have blind spots and if they don't, I could live without the sensors.
