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.

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)

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.
So if I remember correctly, the transfer might depend on what state you want to registers the car in and where it's currently located.

For example, Texas only allows cars listed in Texas.

I think NJ allows for a few other states. There was like a chart with the states mapping but I forget where I saw it.

Quote from dagadu :
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.
Does the "within 200 miles" have to be within the registration State?

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.
only in some states...

I don't think that applies to California unfortunately. We would still pay full value on tax. I just submitted my trade in to Tesla though to see what they will offer. Haven't been assigned a vin yet for the base Model 3 in blue.

The $500 was to reduce customization options to produce vehicles faster so more can take advantage of the rebate
uhh what? model 3 and model y both got raised $500, has NO impact on model 3 option permutations. Yes it means you cant get like a red model y with turbine wheels or something but thats it, this seems like youre purely sepeculating.

What's the best place to sell or trade in your current vehicle? I've tried carvana and vroom; offers were somewhat low.
Driveway was the best offer I got for my current vehicle. Significantly higher than Carvana in my case.

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.
That is not a forward thinking company. Making it harder and not easier to park your car is not forward thinking. If this is your definition of forward thinking, I hope you don't manage a business. There are plenty of people out there that have trouble parking and it is to the benefit of a company trying to make money to appeal to every customer out there. I offered to buy my wife a Tesla but she refused bc of the parking system after she drove mine - and mine even has the ultrasonic sensors. Vision only will not provide an adequate parking solution ever for people like my wife. Id just be guessing but at least 30% of car buyers want this feature and to them its a dealbreaker. Maybe not to you or me, but its naive to say otherwise. And to be fair she is currently spoiled bc her car has 360 parking cam system plus sensors. It sounds like you've never driven a car like that. I guess if you dont know what you're missing you just dont know

USS has already been removed from all new Model S/X since first week of Jan '23.

How does driveway work? Is it similar to Carvana where you submit details online and they come inspect and pick up the car?

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.
Don't want to sound ignorant, but what is MYAWD?

Tempting, but BMW, Audi, and others have some amazing looking battery tech on the horizon. I'm thinking I'll hold off for one more year.

All the current MYLR (Model Y Long-Range is AWD), so it's confusing for sure. You might be able to order off-menu, but that's not standard. The MYAWD they are referring to here is the new Model Y AWD Standard Range w/ the new 4680 battery cells. 269 mileage range I think.
