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)

Have a backup plan just in case. The membership process with Tower is much more the holdup than the loan process. They may get you approved in time, but have a backup plan just in case to avoid having some stressful days.

Personally I applied at DCU and have them a backup just in case. They are who I used for my S anyway, so I know they can work quick and I know the nuances of them.

Is there a possibility that you end up using the backup loan because tower funding time is unknown, and then later tower send the check to tesla even though you already used the backup loan. now you have two loans....

There are probably more YouTube videos on driving the Y than on any other car. Motortrend is not a manufacturer, right?

Even if BMW gives you some of the specs, how can you tell how it drives on twisty roads?
Cause I've driven a Model 3 and a Model Y and several BMW's. I definitely think the BMW and the Mini Cooper S are a lot more fun to drive on twisty roads. You need to get off of the throne you've built for Tesla, and stop thinking that it's the penultimate vehicle in every single measure. They're great in many ways, but not perfect in all ways. Their cornering is fine but not great. I don't know why that makes your head explode. They call the Model Y an SUV, and I don't know how it compares off-road to a Subaru or an X5, but it's so low to the ground that it probably isn't very good offroad.

MotorTrend does skidpad tests, where they measure the lateral g-force acceleration through the fastest turn the car can make.

when adding a vehicle to my insurance policy, it asks what the purchase date is. I take it that's the date I take actual delivery? But how would I know what the date is since Tesla gives me a range of when the vehicle is "delivered". And they want me to provide insurance information. How does that work?

With all respect, you don't know the model Y. A consistent complaint is that it does not absorb bumps well. Well, hopefully the newly introduced Comfort Suspension helps. Also, it is not as quiet as other cars in this price range.

There are legitimate reasons not to buy the Y, and Musk is the biggest one, IMO. But there are also very good reasons to buy it. Ask people who own Tesla vehicles.
I'm only trying to be objective. Objectively, I don't dislike their cars, I believe in electric cars, they have a lot of great features, and my wife loves riding in them. Lots of good things about them.

Subjectively? Elon Musk restorned the Twitter account of a Nazi named Nick Fuentes. I lost a lot of family in the Holocaust. Today's German people are not 1938's German people, but Elon Musk apparently is. That is his choice and my choice is that I will not give him $80,000, despite all the great things about the car. It's one thing to support a Republican or a Democrat; but giving a Nazi a free platform to espouse Nazism is out of bounds for me, personally.

Everybody is free to make their own decision and I don't think that buying or owning a Tesla means you support Nazis. That is just my personal, subjective opinion.

If you were to use the backup loan, you would tell Tower to switch to doing a refi. I guess if the right circumstances happen you could fall into this trap, but presumably you'd change the loan type before using the backup loan.

I just left a meeting with my accountant. She reminded me that those who made purchases in 2022 are also eligible under the law. She said she seen it in the past where all the funds were used up before her clients were able to claim the credit, she said this happened with some of the solar credits. She urged me to make my car purchase decision with the expectation to not receive any refund. She said the law is a mess which most of us know by now.

The only saving grace is that most of the vehicles that were purchased in 2022 were above the cut off threshold.
your accountant must be confused or misinformed, or you did not understand what she was talking about.. either way its not professional of her

the federal tax credit cannot "run out", as it will come from your own taxes. she likely meant local/state credits with much smaller niche programs

in 2022, that depends what you mean by "made purchases", that's the wrong term to use. Better term is "took delivery"

If they bought and received their tesla anything in year 2022, they don't qualify for the credit at all because the IRA of 2022 did not kick in until 1/1/2023 and tesla was subject to the 200,000 vehicle limit which they reached a long time ago. $0 credit for those ppl that took delivery before 1/1/2023

if they bought in 2022 and have not received it, then they are overpaying and should either cancel n place a new order because prices dropped on 1/13/2023 (not in 2022) and only some orders were auto adjusted, or contact tesla to get the price adjusted

the law is not a mess, and your accountant should do her due diligence to learn more about it until she starts talking nonsense to her clients

The only "murky" part that's missing is exactly which day in march 2023 the treasury department will make a decision on when to enforce the battery sourcing half of the law

currently they are covering their eyes from jan 1 2023 until some time in march (no firm date set), so anyone that takes delivery before they update their guidance can get the whole $7,500... anyone after the guidance only gets $3,750 unless the manufacturers use fully north american recycled batteries or get them from a country that has free trade agreement with the US

You would want to use delivery date to avoid paying insurance on days before you get the car. I wouldn't update my insurance until I scheduled a delivery date, or put a further date on the insurance and then update it to a sooner date when I get delivery scheduled.

Just a note that if a person hasn't taken delivery yet for an order from last year, they can contact Tesla to update the pricing if it wasn't done automatically. They don't need to cancel & reorder, but it does require getting ahold of an SA to update things.

The fun part is getting ahold of someone. Many have reporting hours of hold on the phone and some SAs don't respond readily to texts. But hopefully someone would eventually respond as Tesla would reach out about moving forward anyway.
