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)

Quote from Ostryker :
I took delivery of the RWD Model 3. It was a fairly smooth process despite the store being quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. Mine is a Fremont build (as expected since it is a Model 3), and it came wit Matrix headlights, which are quite unique since they allow the driver to change the beam elevation in the control panel. Car has excellent build quality with no obvious paint, panel gap or any other related issues. They opened the car upon request before accepting delivery of the vehicle so that we can also inspect the inside of the car. I was informed by the Tesla SA that I have 48 hours from the time of delivery acceptance to report any issues in the app.

I drove it back two hours and didn't notice any rattles or creaking. I am pretty happy thus far and do expect to keep the vehicle for a while.
Really speaks to the quality of a Tesla. If a quality product you'd be surprised if you heard any rattling or creaking. Tesla is just the opposite. People are surprised when they don't have paint, gap, or rattling//squeaking issues. Just saying..............

How many days they take to mail checks once everything completed ?
Do they mail overnight ?
They can do overnight but you should talk to them and push for it if you really need this done for timing. I think typically would take a few days with standard mailing.

Quote from 8803809 :
thank you for the info. Does TCU send the check to you or to Tesla directly? sorry , first time deal with lender...
I did a refinance since I already purchased. TCU is sending my loan check directly to the other credit union to pay off. That is why they have you fill out the power of attorney forms so that they can handle payment and pay off on your behalf. They don't even ask for you to provide a payoff quote, that is because they will request it directly without you.

Quote from sussig :
besides DL and membership, what other documents do they ask for ?
For loan application: just front and back of DL and once approved the membership form to sign via DocuSign. For loan they want quite a few docs: payoff authorization form, power of attorney form, proof of insurance with deductibles of $500 or less, title information showing TCU as the lien holder

Quote from SCtrojan :
How do you sign up with them? Through donation?
What rates are they offering?
Apply separately for membership and your loan at the same time on their website and make a $35 donation to TowerCares. I received 2.99% for 60 months. I think they offer 72 months @ 3.49% and 84 months @ 4.99%. Lower for loans shorter than mine.

I ordered on 26th. Not expecting a VIN this soon. If I don't get it in time to get the 7500 I'm going to cancel the order. 250 loss is better than 7500.

Ordered 1/14 late night, Tennessee for MYLR 7 seater. Delivery date shows between March 2 - March 31. I've not seen any post on 7 seater with assigned vin. If anyone got it then please post. Im also checking inventory but nothing close to my config yet in TN. Fingers crossed.

On other note, did a demo drive and loved it. Only issue I faced was ride quality was not the best but good enough and I think it depends on road too, and may be because I was too focussed on that.
