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.

in all honesty... i despise 100% of the safety/lazy "tech" in my current Outback, if i could've gotten something as useful without it, for a similar price... i would've.
parking sensors, lane shift sensors, collision sensor and auto braking, auto high beams, responsive headlights, cloud/subscription remote start and god... that stupid powered ebrake in everything now, just give me a handle so i can slide my car!

anywho... who brags about having parking sensors???
Who brags about despising safety features and ease of use features? Oddball comment

What made you decide on trading from 2020 to 2023 Model 3? I don't recall there being any major changes and as you said upthread, your 2020 has the FSD software purchased.

Not criticizing, just curious.
There are actually several improvements from a '20 to a '22/'23. Some are functional, some are cosmetic. For example:
  • 75kWh battery to 82kWh (improved range and 0-60 time)
  • Intel Atom (MCU2) to AMD Ryzen (MCU3) - much faster/responsive main screen, now includes Zoom app
  • resistive heating system vs. heat pump
  • standard headlights vs. new Matrix-style
  • new tail lights/rear turn signals
  • new cameras ('23 only, TBD on functional improvements)
  • powered trunk
  • new/improved interior center console with USB-C, USB-C for rear passengers
  • wireless charging for front passengers
  • new front door trim with wood, better plastics and lighted door pocket
  • double-paned front door glass for less road noise
  • heated steering wheel
  • new wheels
  • exterior chrome trim vs. satin black (I much prefer the black)
  • Improved front fender cameras, no more camera-sensor-blinded-by-flashing-indicator-at-night
  • CCS charging compatible
  • Overall less squeaks and rattles. I dunno what 'under the hood' changes they made in the past three years, but the car feels better put together.

I've probably forgotten some...

Yep, edit:
  • low voltage battery upgraded from AGM to 16V Lithium-ion
  • heated windshield wipers and improved squirters
  • improved material (metal?) for the steering wheel multifunction scroll wheels

Thank you. While those aren't worth it to me (we have a 2018 3), at least it provides perspective and I can understand how that would be very important to some folks.

If anyone wonders "what, that's not worth it to you?!?", I'm replacing my 2013 S with the Y. She drives the 2018 3 so little that it is still at 13k miles. Hence why for us, it's just not worth replacing the 3. We are an outlier though.

Ordered blue MYLR on 1/13 , 3pm EST. MA resident. Got VIN assigned today. Fremont built. Est delivery Feb 11- Feb 18.
Thank you for the great update.
When you ordered, what you ordered, and from where.
Also, what changed and to what.

Fwiw, it's probably the same vehicle I ordered, all base except color blue. 16th early afternoon. Still showing the 23rd to March 30th. Orange County California.

I think you'll be shocked how much improved a new Y is over your S, and even your 3. Smilie

One month ago when I made the decision, there was no hint or guarantee that the M3P would ever qualify for a tax credit (even now, only certain configs do). And there was certainly no guarantee of a price cut going forward in '23.

So, with the $7500 Tesla reduction, decent trade-in price (trade-ins crashed in Jan) and 10K super-charger credits, that late Dec '22 offer was about the best I could reasonably expect.

I love new tech. And the faster Ryzen is something I can appreciate every day. Along with the less rattles.

Even if you think about a 10 minute trip to the store, a slowish UI and a rattly car are enough to annoy almost anyone. Not saying that's the best use of several thousand dollars... rather the improvements of a '20 vs. a '23 are noticeable enough to me to appreciate on every trip I take. Basically all the things I loved about the '20, plus improvements to eliminate the small gripes I had. Perfect car? Maybe!

I hear ya. There's nothing wrong with my S, but Yolo! I drive enough miles that certain comforts are well appreciated.

Has anyone seen the $50k standard range model Y's pop up since the initial start?

We love our '21 SR+ LFP (unicorn car with performance motor). Planning to trade our gas guzzling '19 QX60.

How do you get an electric BMW for about 36K?
Or BMW electric SUV for 46K?

You probably can't even get an electric Kia for 36K

Anyone with ability to run a free CarFax for me ? I want to run one on my current car to use for potential buyers. Looks like a few of the Credit Unions like Pen and Navy allow free CarFax. Please PM if you can run one I will provide my VIN.
