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)

Being able to afford to pay cash is of course a good thing. Paying cash because you can is for those who don't know how to manage money. You may wanna speak to someone about handling money correctly if that's what you do. Just a thought.
I pay cash for anything that isn't a home loan. And my house is at 2.7%. Taking a loan on a car is not smart. You are not guaranteed to make over 5% in this market in taxable accounts. Maybe 4%. And being in the top tax bracket I have to pay top dollar on any gains in taxable accounts. Makes zero sense not to pay cash for a car because Im essentially guaranteed to "make" 4-5% by just paying cash that I would have otherwise paid 4-5% on a loan.

It will use the Car Price (for me it was 52,990) Base MYLR.

Car price: $54,630 (Order fee $250 + destination fee $1,390)
Amount financed: $48,743
Monthly payment = Tesla Wells fargo 5.34% APR = $794.46
Amount due at signing (this is our downpayment) = $9500

5.35% is alot so i will refinance with tower later for lower rate.
LOL...a $794.46 a month car loan and insurance on top of that for a depreciating liability? A Dave Ramsey (or anyone with good sense) nightmare. Buy an investment house for rental with a 30 year loan for less payment, pay extra to the principal to shorten the term, and enjoy the monthly net income.

As much as I like Dave and his advice, some of us have the income to make that payment many times over. And while you can save and invest in all the areas of the world, you can't take it with you. A Tesla isn't a must have A to B vehicle. If that's your spot in life then a Corolla might be your solution.

I just uploaded my ssn card and two utility bills for the fun of it. They now have everything to approve my loan as well. They have until next Wednesday morning or I'll just do it with Tesla. Might just pay the loan off anyways. Fed is expected to give another slight bump to the prime rate tomorrow so maybe they're denying membership based on that. Idk.

Oh man, I stand corrected when you are typing on the tiny screens, it's not easy to scroll up and down why typing.

Let me try this again,

" So its good for number of people who were able to flip in 20/21and for someone with spare vehicle to cash in. If Dumb Duck like you try to flip next year, you will be left with a begging bowl.. better

Solar and EV shield you from opec and utility companies. If you think you will not see rising prices in the next 30 years then you're going to be in for a rude awakening.

Holy Sheet. $10K down and $800 a month for 6 years? Man, I hope you like this car a LOT, because you will be upside down for a long time. What is the residual on a 6 year old EV? With price drops and new tech, and battery almost out of warranty, I'm guessing not much

I guess alot of folks here getting in the same bed though.

I got one when I picked up our 2018. Tesla didn't provide it in advance. Glad they are at least trying to be better at that, though they are failing in your case. I'm surprised the CU needs that to proceed. Tesla provided that to me simply because this was a state they weren't allowed to register for me and the DMV needs it. I've never received one from any brand before.
Looks like only my local CU is asking this, no one else !

Anyone else get their Tower loan approved but membership pending. I am starting to think this is some sort of scam.

I haven't, but looking around for alternative for bike rack and came across it. Reviews for it have been mostly positive. Plus made in USA if that matters to you.

Car prices will come down even more. More competition with better product will eventually create a winning situation for anyone who hold off on buying new car. This is not just on Tesla but other car mfg out there.
I personally won't buy a Tesla despite this recent price reduction. Tesla has made 3 significant price drop in China while only 1 price drop in the USA. I am seeing Tesla to drop its price again by average of 10-15%.
