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 tonkotsu :
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 make some excellent points. I sprung the situation on her while filing my 2022. She might have been in the thought process where the solar panels were a rebate. But since this is essentially a credit if you owe the fed $7500 it shouldn't be limited.

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....
If I understand you correctly. I doubt that could happen. Tower would want a lien on the car. The car would already have a lien from the first place you finance with. Along with other problems that I just couldn't see happening.

Are cars that are in inventory rejects from other people? Originally was going to pick up a LR7 MSM with white interior on Saturday but as we were driving up to LA to get it, a LR7 blue with black interior came into inventory and we quickly bought that instead. Ate the $250 order fee for the MSM one since by the time we would have called, it'd probably been taken.

Tower loan has been pre-approved, Pending status for a week now after submitting all the documents. My pick up date is this Saturday. I think I will have to go with Tesla financing for now and switch to Tower refinance later. Anyone knows how long does the Tesla take after applying?

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.
This Nick guy got suspended again. So do you also avoid anything made in Germany too? BMW and MB? Your reason to not buy a Tesla is convoluted.

Thanks a lot for all that info. Super helpful. Do you know if you have issues with the car ie gaps or something doesn't work. Do you not accept the car until problems are rectified? Just leave it there with the explanation? Pick it up later? Super helpful.
You have a choice assuming you pick up in person. If you think it is severe enough that you don't want it, as long as you haven't drive off the lot (very important), you can reject the car and get a new one build. Obviously that may push it outside of march window If that matters to you.
But if you decide it is minor and can be rectified, you will accept the car and then make sure to open service ticket in the app BEFORE driving out the lot (so it is still in Tesla possession). Not it is that important since you got 100 miles to check, but I would do it right there.
Some say Tesla could have it serviced the same day, but that's not the case giving the situation. You may have to wait a week or two for the appointment

Anyone got approval from USSFCU for a loan? Curious to see what rates you were given.

We just got an approval for 3.49% not the < 3% I was hoping, but still better than the 5.34% from Tesla.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can't find any specific requirements to join. Was the process painless and QUICK? Did you join with the minimum or already a pass member? Thanks again.

IMO, if you are ok with whatever down payment Tesla finance may require, that is the easiest process. With the refi, Tower can take as long as they need and the purchase/delivery process with Tesla is very streamlined when you use their financing options.
So i am okay with the payment for the 72month loan with tesla after the downpayment, but if i could get a better APR rate why not right ? i think i will hold off till i get the car and then refinance with Tower. ... thoughts ?

Yes, to reject it would put me out past the March window. Good to know anyway.
Thanks again for all the useful help and information.
