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)

Can anyone explain to me why Tesla fans call the Model 3 an M3? The M3 is a sports sedan made by BMW...

Doesn't take effect until mid-April. Those who sign a solar contract and get their paperwork in by then are grandfathered into the current buyback rates for 20 years. Just signed a solar contract today. Companies are swamped now. Will get a battery down the road, no EV yet and I'm counting on lower prices and govt incentives.
One must have the unit installed by the date. I read that those desperate for solar are now facing a higher premium quote since this sorry decision is law and will have a very negative effect on those trying to justify a ROI with solar. The Gavin supporters are screaming the loudest. Such irony.

No, they didn't take anything… u sign few papers and hand them the check… then u setup ur key card and off u go with ur new vehicle.
I wonder what would be the process to report to IRS later in the year, unless they are just screwing people up by not knowing the process.

Not true. Only need to file an interconnection application by Apr 13 to be grandfathered in. Have three years after application to install a system and begin operation. I interviewed and received quotes from four companies, none are gouging.
Anyone thinking of doing this in San Diego County pm me for a very knowledgeable and non-pushy system designer who works for Baker, one of the most reputable solar installers in the area (in business since 1938).https://www.solar.com/learn/nem-3.../#timeline

Do you really think they'll shave more off the MYLR? Sure the MYAWD is due out this year and there might be some saving there due to the lower range and less expensive battery pack. The new tiny car they plan to release will cost less but it will certainly be stripped down. People want to talk about less expensive offerings but not that they aren't apples to apples.

Tesla will be overloaded this year with used car inventory + new competition+ dropping demand , hence to stay competitive there will more price cuts no doubt about it

just look at their solar business it's on the verge of closing.

Price cuts = feature removal. I do think the govt will somehow keep the 7500 incentive to prevent the race to the bottom mentality competition we're already seeing.

Thanks for sharing. I just received my loan pre approval and uploaded all the documentation they requested including how to make payment to Tesla. My membership is still in processing "referred". Would you explain how you reached your loan processor or any tips to move this process along without pissing them off? I'm scheduled to pick-up my MYLR next Wednesday
My understanding is that the loan processor will not even look at the loan until the membership account is established. And if I hadn't tried to reach out directly I'm not quite certain how he would have known that my membership had been setup. Best bet is try to get someone to escalate you membership app and then get a hold of your loan processor as soon as possible once that is established.

I did not apply. I am debating if I should just go with Tesla loan instead and pay it off in a month as they dont capture key information to transmit to IRS for tax credit.

Has anyone received any clarity from CPA on how to get the 7500$ tax credit? Given that I meet the eligibility criteria and will pay 10K+ taxes in 2023:

1. Do I ask my employer to not deduct $7500 in taxes from my income so that I can use the credit.
2. Do I let my employer deduct taxes as usual, and will get $7500 refund when I do taxes next year?

I'm very confused. Any help is appreciated.
