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)

Update: Tesla has confirmed the Model 3 and Model Y are not included in this promotion. Paragraph 7 reflects this, as well as confirmation from Tesla.

Tesla is now offering additional discounts or free Supercharging incentives with the purchase of new Model S and Model X vehicles, but the automaker is requiring owners to trade in an existing car.

Tesla has gotten off to a fast start in 2023 with substantial price cuts that, when coupled with government incentives, can discount vehicles by roughly $20,000 on qualifying vehicles. As we reported yesterday, Tesla seems focused on pushing sales figures up earlier in the quarter, opting for an earlier strategy as opposed to the end-of-quarter pushes that it has utilized in the past.

Now Tesla is taking it a step further, as the company is reaching out to some current owners, attempting to woo them to purchase a new vehicle with a $3,000 discount or three years of free Supercharging, as long as they trade in their Tesla.

Man my friend's dad just got his 3 month old Model Y hit. Shop is saying 5-6 months to fix and will cost 35k to fix. Doesn't look that bad but I guess it's because Tesla parts are expensive? That's crazy. No wonder insurance is expensive.

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.
With the numbers you shared, it does make sense to pay cash. For some of us, we can get 5% in taxable in Treasuries while also paying 3% on the loan. Not a big spread, but even after paying taxes, you come out ahead, so some may chose not to tie up their capital.

Quote from MoisesA7010 :
for those in CA who arent in a rush to show off or actually NEED the car, i would wait to see if tesla adds themselves back on the CVRP and see what the gov does after March

$15,000 possible savings on top of the reduced price would be a big win
Yep, that's me. But what if the Feds to cap that crap in March and no longer eligible? I think that is the most likely outcome. Then I'm out the $7500 for sure. Isn't still possible for Ca to institute the CVRP even if the Feds pound the battery thing in March? As long as I already have the car prior to Feds putting the Kabosh on the battery/$7500.
I hope I was clear on that question/comment. LMAO

Anyone else get their Tower loan approved but membership pending. I am starting to think this is some sort of scam. They received the donation and pre-approved the loan but membership department can't verify who I am ? Not buying it! I submitted the info they asked but heard from another poster her they cancelled his membership request after he sent supporting info.

Thank you for your account application with Tower. We were unable to complete the verification process with your personal information, however you have an option to proceed.
Please upload an image of the identification(s) provided in your application, front and back. Additionally, please also provide the items below:

Provide two (2) of the following that are most recent and valid:
• Social Security Card
• Passport
• Student ID
• Military ID
• Utility Bill
• Lease
• Bank Statement
• Proof of Home Ownership

it's hard to believe a "Federal" credit union scam, but oh well... worst case lose my $35. Already have a backup loan secured, rate is little high though

There are few things money related that are guaranteed and have an excellent return. You may wanna consider speaking to a money management person.

If they offer me $30,600k for my trade which leaves a balance due of 24,030. Can I request over that amount to get cash back? Will this cause confusion to Tesla & Tower FCU?

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.
Not if you can afford it, I have 5 rental incomes + salary from my job ... so the 800 is good enough for me to pay. Tesla isn't a requirement and Yes i can afford an EQS but it all goes by choice, so id rather have the Model Y


Quote from FishKilla :
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 do like the car alot again i have rental income + properties which have appreciated in 3x 4x that i have bough during covid so this purchase isn't a big deal for me like yall making it seem

How are some of you so terrible at purchasing a car, financing a car, making sound financial decisions? It's ridiculous people are treating a $50k purchase like they are buying the new iphone.

Don't listen to the "geniuses." They are all driving rust buckets because cars are depreciating assets.

In all seriousness, these comments are silly. Of course cars a depreciating assets. If you personally can't afford a 50,000 car then don't buy one. If you think it's a bad idea, then don't buy one.

Many of us can. Most of us need a vehicle. Why not get something you really enjoy?!
