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)

Reddit disagrees as people are getting quotes that are higher. Add in homeowners insurance premium goes up after a solar install.
My homeowners didn't go up after solar. Increasing coverage is your own prerogative depending on how much you think it will cost to rebuild. I'd rather go low than go high especially because it directly impacts CEA rate.

Let me try this one more time. Unfortunately, an age-old process is becoming a rocket science.

When you own a high-depreciation asset. You try to own it at the lowest cost possible for the longest period to make it meaningful. Car is 1 such thing. DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY..with useless arguments about I can make my money work elsewhere during that time. We are not living in the MEME economy.
LMAO Yeah, we wouldn't wanna get carried away with those useless points like making money with money while discussing money and cost! LMAO

Has anyone had any recent experience with Tower CU funding timing ?
My loan application was approved first, then yesterday the membership was approved.
Hoping they can fund my loan to Tesla by the 17th at the latest but wanted to hear from others on what the funding time is once membership is approved? Do I need to hound them daily or its a quick process from here on out?

Vehicle Loan Application #
Status Approved Pending

I have never dealt with Tower Credit Union. But I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to fund you if you're already approved. I'm just curious to hear from others on this. I don't see myself even considering them from what I've read, but I'm curious.

If say for example I pay $0 in tax next year, does that mean I get none of the $7500 tax credit?
Unfortunately, that would be the case. So most middle incomers will qualify but may not necessarily receive the whole credit.

I hope your right brother. I am with you with my share of fast fun cars, hoping the M3P is as fun to drive as people have mentioned. The BMW M3 Non aspirated models where amazing cars.

2004 Subaru WRX STI
RX-7 (Forget the year) bought it used, the previous owner tuned it up so much it scared me sometime laugh out loud
2002 IS300
2012 G37x
2016 BMW X5M
Can't we all just get along? LOL.

I'm personally in my middle-age years, so I can easily afford this car, or a higher performance car like a real M3. All cars are different, and can be enjoyable. Even performance is subjective.

My old '95 Civic was fun to drive when the V-Tec kicked in.
mid-2000's Subaru WRX STi was also insanely fun. The low RPM torque once the turbo kicked.
E90 M3 was awesome, full power band, awesome handling.
Tesla is also awesome for instant torque, quick 0-60 times.

For anyone who transferred recently ,How are you guys being able to find anything in the inventory thats under 55k? Everything I see is over 55k? Am I missing something ?
Inventory is changing constantly throughout the day so I usually popped on 4-5x per day to check. Narrowed my search down to MYLR seven seater or M3LR. There was actually a number of the, that came up during my few days of search but i passed based upon features (white seats) or external color. Every market is going to be different though, this was in Arizona.

Key word being ESTIMATE.
Do we want approximate updates as to when we might get our cars, or do we want 'maybe middle of the year' ?

I'd rather have slightly higher estimate that truthfully indicates a delay than no info or wrong info.

Ordered Model Y on 1/14 with White/Black and changed the config to White/White on 1/25, the estimate today changed to 2/20 - 3/20 from 1/31 to 2/10. Called the customer support and they told those estimates are meant to change. She told the latest I can get is March 1st week.

Tower gets major brownie points from me. My loan processor was scheduled to be out of the office the remainder of the week for a funeral, but he calls me today and finishes up the funding process for delivery of my MYLR on Friday. If he hadn't have done this I would have had to pay cash and then go through a re-finance process.

I'm assuming you are with Geico, had the same shock when I added Tesla Y, they add something called Mechanical Breakdown insurance which raises premium considerably, not sure how significant is that, so I switched to different carrier without that coverage, now its on par with other vehicles, something to look for,

Curious where you came out and where you're located... my 6 month premium is now around 1k at Geico.
