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)

Just an update for those who applied with Tower FCU. They are processing apps using first in first out (FIFO). From what I know they're working on those that applied around 1/18-1/19 at the moment. Once the eCommerce team starts working on your membership application it takes them a day or two to process the information. It helps to have already uploaded your identification (driver's license front and back) to the online portal. It does not help to call them until they reach out to you, it only ties up their customer support agents even more. Once they have reviewed and approved your membership, you will be contacted via the portal messaging to sign your membership document via DocuSign (or snail mail) and complete payment. Once these steps are complete it will be another business day to receive your membership information.

Separately, if you applied for a loan application at the same time as your membership, it will likely be approved much sooner. Once it is approved it sits in an "approved pending" state until your membership is completed. Once your membership is complete and account opened, it is recommended at this time to call in to the loan dept and let them know so they can proceed with disbursement of your funding/check.

Hope this helps both the people on this thread and Tower.

thank you for the info. Does TCU send the check to you or to Tesla directly? sorry , first time deal with lender...

Cuteness in your reply glosses over the fact that 12 inch iPad screen is good for nothing... maybe some can use it like a mirror to regret their purchase every time they look at it 😆

Probably it's way too late. I ordered 1/21 and my estimated delivery date is 3/19-31. I just texted them and they said 4/1 Frown

From what I've read, it has a lot of limitations

• ⁠Designated highway only (no streets)
• ⁠Below 40mph
• ⁠There must be cars in front of you
• ⁠Must be able to take over within 10 seconds (no sleeping)
• ⁠Will not change lanes
• ⁠Does not work at night
• ⁠Does not work in rain, fog, or below 3 Celsius
• ⁠Does not work if there is construction nearby

So in this exact certain scenario, it will operate level 3.
This is different. This feature lets the driver dont even need to touch steering and it allows driver to read or do something else without the need to look on the traffic. Its mainly for peak hour traffic not for highway thats why slow speed. Different feature than tesla which requires driver to hold the steering wheel and focus on the road.

You know that's a few lines of code that Tesla could update to not require driver hold the steering wheel or look ahead?

Not saying that's what should happen. I'm a (former) Tesla FSD owner, and have a pretty good understanding of its limits. I can't imagine Mercedes being substantially better.

I ordered a day back; not keeping high hopes but willing to forgo that $250 if it doesnt come before March window.

But i am told that if you in California, there's a good chance it will be before March due to a heavy inventory movement to CA..

Few lines of code to a car that doesn't have the required hardware haha !! This is getting ridiculous.. Pl understand they were selling outdated technology to consumers during the pandemic boom with insane margins.. and in 2022 they tried new scheme to sell the same snake oil with 10k supercharge dollars incentive.. still inventory didn't move, not because people didn't want a premium EV, tesla was not worth advertised price.. now out of desperation, they had to lobby to work on a tax loophole for 3 months to keep them relevant.

Come on back to us when you've actually used Tesla's FSD system. We'll be here.
