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)

Add 20,000 in 7 years to replace batteries. Expect range to be half when it is cold outside.

Not that bad. More like 3/4 range in the coldest weather in NJ.

No one really knows exactly when the batteries on model 3 and Model Y need to be replaced. Coworker's 4 year-old model-3 has no range drop according to him.

Meanwhile my S is 10 years old with 120k likes and has 93% of its original capacity. Yes, range is significantly impacted when it is cold outside. With a bit of planning, you can seriously reduce the impact - stuff like use the seat and wheel heaters fully since they barely use any energy vs. the the main cabin heater that uses a ton.

Can someone tell me why would you buy a Tesla Model Y vs Mercedes SQB which all for the same price & both qualify for the $7.5K rebate
For me the closest Tesla Service Center is 1.5 hr drive vs Mercedes - 2 dealership within 20min driving distance,

FYI - The Mercedes SQB is the EV version of the popular GLB model.

Any update if the crvp rebate for California residents is being updated to include Tesla?
According to the CVRP website, the next update is slated for February 28, 2023. But from what I can tell (based on the Tesla-specific eligibility page [cleanvehiclerebate.org]), the Model 3 (RWD base configuration only) and Model Y (several configurations) actually now qualify again for the CVRP since the MSRP caps are $45,000 for passenger cars and $60,000 for SUVs, trucks, and vans. That being said, the biggest constraint (IMHO) for the CVRP is the new income cap. For joint filers, starting February 24, 2022, the income cap is $200,000. Prior to that date, it was $300,000. The income cap also dipped for single filers and head-of-household but not at the same magnitude as joint filers.

Several people in this thread have mentioned Tesla not re-applying for the CVRP program but I couldn't find anything about that. The CVRP does a great job of breaking out [cleanvehiclerebate.org] the eligibility rules and requirement details but it is a lot to digest and apply to one's situation.

Well for one, the Tesla Supercharger network. I have no doubt the Mercedes is a nice car. But after 3 years of owning a Tesla, I've come to expect frequent software updates, at-home service for minor issues, and overall general lack of maintenance or nagging for such.

I'm not sure if Mercedes meets that threshold.

I am expecting further Tesla price cuts as the competition.is having better options. The Mercedes has better internal luxury for the same price. The MB feels like you are driving a normal car rather than an EV. Don't get me wrong I have Tesla Solar panel & batteries and their service is OK. A lot of times I have to inform of them on issues rather them letting me know if something is wrong.

Obviously it is what you like. But consider y has 50 percent more range, and you don't really want use top and bottom 20 percent making the difference much more pronounce. An MB is such a new player in EV, my bet is the drive train from Tesla is much more mature than MB.
Just ask you this: who made a better smart phone? Apple or Nokia?

SQB 243 mi range.......7.0 sec acceleration......LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO And I believe it is EQB not SQB. Maybe it is geared for those over 65.....

That's why we have both chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

I personally don't think Tesla will drop prices any further. Once they get right below the IRA tax threshold, there appears to be solid demand. So no need to go down further.
