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)

Its unfortunate Taxpayers have to pay for these poorly made vehicles for them to be even viable for some buyers. On top of all the local incentives given for keeping Gigas operational.
unfortunately in this case, you're not contributing to those so called "taxpayers paying for these incentives" since you're not qualified

No I upload my insurance card that has all my info but another registered car's VIN on there. I won't add the Tesla until closer to the delivery date and let my agent know when to add it.
Thanks. I am planning to do the same as well.

I don't have Pw, it's a redic cost for the limited capacity. Ford Lightning is ~10 Pw equivalent & can drive. Of course CPUC just NEM'd me out of a few hundred in latest true up, that's new. Prior year got paid a few hundred for over generation (MCE). This state just loves taxing us to death, in every conceivable way. Nice weather tho, lol
Hate to break it to you but you have to pay about $7000 just to use a lightning as "intelligent backup power". Ford doesnt like to talk about that though.

Purchase price of ford lightning is still like $80,000 now after markup, so $95k after taxes for a V2G solution if you need it soon

Stripped down? Haha. They already stripped down the 2023 models. No parking sensors. 2023 is the clearance model to entice the poor people to take out loans for cars they cant afford. I might buy a second one used when the recession hits and the poors get their car repo'd
people have been driving without parking sensors for a good 120 years.. if u can't park withouts sensors.. you should go back to riding horse or walk

The horde has overlooked this. Meanwhile they buy the clearance models like its the last supper. They'll be sad when the new radar HW4 models come out

Powerwall is 13.5kw for $12,800, buy two for $26k and you have 27kw which is more than enough to power for daaays with ZERO sun if youve got energy efficient stuff.

If youre doing it as part of a solar install then its 30% tax credit, makes it cheaper per kw than ford after the $7000 worth of ford+sunrun crap.

The ford would be great if you truly want to live completely disconnected from the energy grid though because its a power wall on wheels so you can go plug it in at a charging station and then power your home if your solar doesnt get sun for a long time.

Until a corner appears. The BMW has an actual interior and good build quality too. Go on, though.

Point still stands. Why not call it something unique so everyone knows what we're talking about?

My MYLR ordered on 1/14 was supposed to be delivered tomorrow at my driveway. But Tesla cancelled it just now due to inclement weather conditions (Austin TX). Anybody else in the same boat?

Now I am not sure when I can take delivery. No appointments available.
