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.

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)

I got the message asking me to schedule for delivery? Questions for those with the experience:

1. If I cancel it, what would I loose? How to get the deposit back?
2. If I decide to delay, how much longer can I delay?

TIA
Text them back they will give you options.

If you cancel you will loose $250 deposit. You cannot get your deposit back from Tesla, it is nonrefundable. Some people suggested creating dispute through Credit Card company, maybe you can get it back that way.

As far as I know you can reject delivery two times before Tesla cancels your order.

Tesla doesn't even call it a 'deposit'. It's call and 'order fee'. Which means you're even going to have a hard time with a CC dispute. You place an order, you pay a fee. Tesla did indeed order a car for you, so service was provided.

My product page on the website no longer shows an option to select another model from the inventory.

Anyone else see that ?

I still don't have my VIM

Not sure what you're trying to do. If you have an existing order, you can open up the app, and click "Manage" under your Order # at the top left, and it should take you to Tesla website, where you can check from the "Accelerated Delivery Available" link for existing inventory.

Or if you want to just browse existing inventory, go to the Model Y product page, and scroll down and there should be link to view existing inventory. There are a bunch of Austin Model Y AWD (non LR) available in many locations.

Or if you're looking to edit your config, I believe you must contact Tesla via chat or phone to get that done. This only allows to edit your Model Y, not switch to a different model, i.e. Model 3. That would require a separate order from what I am seeing from others.

You are right, it is called order fee.

Costco sells their own or third party?
Costco is American family Ins. I just quoted slightly less than Geico at $150/mo just now. Farmers was higher with less bodily coverage.

I'm in Indy. Mine went from 254/6mo to 715/6mo with progressive. I switched to Costco which has me at 504/6mo 300k/100k 500 deductible with rental car coverage. I expected it to go up due to the vehicle value essentially doubling, but I didn't expect triple the price.
you were paying $254/6mo for current car? I'm almost willing to bet that's for collision only not including comprehensive, so it's not really a valid comparison. $500/6mo sounds about right.

If Tesla offers insurance in your State, go with that... at least for me, Tesla insurance was the least for me. Otherwise, shop around.

I would check, $500 a month seems outrageous even for drivers with points on their record. $500/6 months seems more likely.

Thanks a lot for the details. What I want to do is see if something similar is readily available and if so, move to that.

I have been checking daily so have the webpage in my mind. When i go to manage the order, i no longer see the "Accelerated Delivery Available" button. This way the 2-3 options that Tesla shows are free to select and no order fee is taken. But yea this option seems dead foy my case now. Dont know why

I can browse the inventory and all but if i see something I like, this is like placing a new order since it charges me an order fee again.
