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)

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
2024 MX & MS will be also removing the USS. They won't be apart of any further functionality and will be limited. You're a baby holding onto your pacifier. They've made their decision. Which I also disagree with especially since it only costs them $150. Hell I want rear radar also but they turned that off also and it improved safety. Tesla is a forward moving company. If you don't like it then there are plenty of ionic 5's for you.

Why don't you update the headline price to the new $500 higher price, $53,490?

It'll probably go up again if demand continues to be double production capabilities.

$500 is spare change to a Tesla buyer.

What's the best place to sell or trade in your current vehicle? I've tried carvana and vroom; offers were somewhat low.

TIP...Are you waiting for a VIN still? I'll let you in on a secret. Put in some work and keep refreshing this link. Call the location with the vehicle and have them attach it to your order. Your price won't go up. You have to be fast!!! You're not the only one doing this. It took me 3 times but 3rd was a charm. Other two times the vehicle got assigned to someone else while he was trying.

Change your zip code. But they can put in a move request for you. 93437 isn't my zip code but there's a base white MYLR just sitting there at my zip code. Waiting for you to get it

Tesla is incredibly fast at making cars. People are getting their cars in weeks. The $500 was to slow it down, if they want to slow it down more they will up the price by another $500

Tesla was higher for me than those two. I'm debating to try private sale since my vehicle has a 8yr 100k mile full warranty and a separate rust proofing, paint, and interior warranty. It's just hard as your trade in done at the time of sale decreases your taxable sale amount e.g.
53K tesla * 0.07 = $3,700 tax
vs
53k tesla - 25k trade in = $28k * 0.07 = $2,000 tax.

The $500 was to reduce customization options to produce vehicles faster so more can take advantage of the rebate

So your saying find a inventory model that matches what you have and have them transfer it to your account? This would only work for cars in your own state right? Or I guess I don't fully understand

I think so. I tried to transfer a out of State car last week to my pick up location, and the rep said no can do.

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.
hi, how long does your pre-approval last?

I asked the Tesla staff and they said you have to get available cars within 200 miles of your zip code. They cannot move vehicle further than 200 miles even though it's within same state. For example in CA, vehicles available in San Francisco cannot be delivered to San Diego. But, you can assign VIN and fly to SF to pickup vehicles.
