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)

Anyone know if it's possible to get the demo models and qualify for the tax credit? There's 2022 performance models for <$55k but they don't show the tax discount
Why would you want a 2022 model?

Okay now do Ford total sales vs Tesla total sales. We all know it's only a matter of time before numbers shift. I like Tesla's just like the next person, but let's not be unrealistic here. They have first movers advantage but it won't last for decades when all the main players are EV as well. Just comes with the business.

With Ford Mustang Mach-e price cut indication, Tesla need to quickly get the pre-ordered delivered and if they take longer beyond 2nd Week of March more Car makers will start coming with discount. I still do not know why Tesla is not swapping their existing inventory to lock the customer which is just cutting 1000 dollars or 2000 dollars
I would not worry about Ford

They took my money for the Ford Maverick in Sept and still no sign of it even being built lol

How long it takes from getting the VIN to schedule delivery?

I got the VIN today.
Estimated Delivery: February 13 - February 19
Your car might be on a truck and that may be the estimation (to arrive at your destination). Most likely, it will fall in the middle like 14 to 16th.

The profit is denying Tesla a profit. You can do that when you have a customer base of more than a few thousand.LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

I just got off the phone with penfed. Sadly their interest rate isn't very good. It's higher than Tesla's rate, which I find out now it's Wells Fargo. What rate are you getting from PenFed? I read from someone here stating he had a 4% rate because it's an EV. I was told they have no different rate for EV at PenFed.
Yeah, PenFed has a tough time beating rates atm. They seem to be somewhat risk off because they know a lot of loans are going to default in the days ahead. Auto loan bubble is getting worse based on statistics.

Have personally used PenFed in the past multiple times, but I usually do that only if I was looking to Refi down from another bank.

For example: If you ever want to buy a car quickly, use Suntrust Unsecured Auto Loan. They'll wire you funds within 24 hours but at a higher rate. Then you refi into something like PenFed cause they will allow you to do that.

For my current Tesla, cause it was a business vehicle, I went through Tesla directly, and it went over to Chase Auto, for 2.24% at the time (however, that was over a year ago). Not as helpful now, but for those looking into business loans - that might be an option to look into.

Microsoft did the same thing with Xbox for the past 2 decades...they make money on the software.

Ford will make money on the repairs...cause we know there will be plenty of those.

Ordered a model y long range Saturday afternoon. Blue color, everything else base. Got VIN today and set pickup appointment for 2/9.

I was worried I'd lose the tax credit, but this is way quicker than expected. Now to get the charger installed.

Folks, I got my MYLR delivered today and am trying to file taxes to see if the tax credit is applying. However, when I try to use TurboTax, am getting the error message:

The Date Placed in Service must be in 2022 and no earlier than the Date Acquired. You can remove this vehicle if it was not placed in service in 2022.

Do anyone of you filed taxes for delivery taken after Jan 1, 2023?

I got preapproved with Penfed at 6.9% for 72 months. Tesla through Wells Fargo approved 5.34% for 72 months. My auto FICO are 730 average and 724 on Transunion which was pulled by Wells Fargo. I placed order on 1/20 for red MYLR AWD in Atlanta.

P/S: I used to have great rate with Penfed around 2.9% but it was in 2019. Rate went up after Covid.
