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)

Sir
You are 1000% correct however they do have a low tech camera based musk vision 😉 hardware in'em.. I doubt anyone here would be upset after spending 55k and getting 7.5k huge discount.. missed out on a big tech upgrade and instead brought a matchbox. I can already imagine their play date with their kid's hot wheels..😂
do 36k civic/corolla come with parking sensors?

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.
Seeing how the model 3 rollout went, I do not want to buy the first 6 months of CT supply. Especially when its a new cell, new body design, new vehicle in just about every way.

With model 3, we had a few changes, like softer springs, much more padding in front and rear seats, and minor misc stuff. Actually, since the motors and electrics are tried and true, maybe it won't be as bad as the 3. Still, I'd rather not be a beta tester even though I really want to get the truck.

pretty sure yeah, they are about $140 in parts, the cars dont have almost any cameras though compared to tesla. I understand if you have $3000 in cameras its like why should we rely on $140 in sensors?? i hope elon is right about the many cameras being able to detect how far something is from the car

This is YMMV
Tried Driveway for my used car. I got 11K from Carmax online and average trade in around 9-11k. Driveway offered me $4,692* what a joke,LMAO
I have it listed online sales sites for just under 13K, most profitable way to sell your car is private party.
I normally would sell privately for a low value car; but at roughly $25K-$30K, I much rather have the dealers handle it and give me a check or use it as a trade in value.

Caravan offered roughly $27K; Vroom was $22K. Haven't checked others yet. Waiting to see what Tesla might offer. Carnax is an hour drive.

Look like only Tesla purchased before March 2022 is eligible. One requirement is has to be in the eligibility list and Tesla is not. Tesla needs to apply to be on the list.https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/en...la-model-y [cleanvehiclerebate.org]
Yup. But also be aware that the income limits for the CA EV CVRP have been lowered significantly. So lots of people on CA will become ineligible.

what's your point? Every year car manufacturers release newer models. It depends on whether you need a car this year or not.

Of course but I'm talking about an updated refresh on how it looks. U know the standard auto refresh cycle every 5-8 years. Teslas are due for one.

Yes rates are same confirmed with cs and loan officer today..
They said if it becomes late take dealer financing and then refinance with us back since we have all documents let us know its refinance. Sounded like its easy to change from purchase to refinance with them since they have all docs.
