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)

Quote from norcal007 :
There's only one reason why Telsa reps have visited Mexico (more than once) and that's possible relocation. Companies leaving CA is real. Look at tech with the many layoffs..last year and this year 140,000. The move out will continue and one of the reasons why we went from a surplus to deficit. https://www.kron4.com/news/what-c...nce-covid/ more: https://www.newsnationnow.com/mor...te-budget/ and the sleeping giant..and a $25 BILLION deficit: https://calmatters.org/newsletter...t-deficit/
No, that's HARDLY the only reason. Nobody is talking about relocation from Fremont to Mexico (again Fremont is expanding with accolades by Messiah Musk) that's just crazy talk. It's like you're immune to facts that I just provided. Refute any? But yes, the sky is falling, according to whatever confirmation bias you Google.

I'm not clicking on any of that, you posted some funny list before about all the companies that have left California before; even Chevron the oil giant (who has every reason to leave this redic overtaxed state as Sac proposes new energy taxes) hasn't REALLY left, they literally just signed a 10 yr lease across the Street!

Oh no, a 'GIGANTIC' 25B deficit after 75B surplus, you mean to say Sac may have to tap reserves and ease up on ongoing commitments & pet projects?? The sky is falling!!

Probably as a knee jerk from the harsh PR fallout from evolutionary battery that (so far) hasn't matched all the hype.

opening a new plant for the rest of the continent is not a valid reason then?
He seems to think (H1-B et al.) layoffs (none from Fremont plant afaik) to appease shareholders are net exports to other states.

Reality: exodus is <.5% of priced out high crime rate inland empire & maga boomers statistically insignificant to coffer anyway. CA bad. laugh out loud

Nah I think they're just trying to offer people waiting for a LR, worried about March, another avenue. I do think the MYAWD a little overpriced and inferior to the MYLR but if it has new tech underneath that we don't know about….

We know quite a bit about 4680 by now, at least.

Well a bunch of you clogged up the tower system so now i must pickup my vehicle by 2/8 and I'll certainly still be waiting on membership. So now I have to get another loan and refi later with tower. Tower has now way to expedite well qualified candidates needing a loan in a few days.

I signed with a local bank for loan

Yep, I see all the posts of Tower unable to keep up with demand
Good Luck

Yes, I'm going to do the same tomorrow. I already spoke to tower concerning refinancing. Are there any concerns for the local bank other than ensuring there is no payoff penalty?

The only reason fremont might close is that ambulance chaser style lawyers are hitting up every employee asking if low level employees are racist towards one another and then suing tesla for like $10 billion dollars, and the state labor board also gets involved because they have an axe to grind with musk.

CA is cutting off its nose to spites its face, one of the highest state income taxes in america has led us to having a huge surplus of money, i have no idea what we spend it on, but we clearly dont need it as we treat private companies like garbage even though the tesla fremont plant has probably generated $250 billion in state revenues alone across its corporate+employees

well you won't catch me disagreeing with any of that sir; feck the sum total of this state's absurd tax. however, ambulance chasers do similar to virtually every US public company in existence; I don't think that's a canary in the coal mine of the hugely productive, expanding Fremont plant. But absolutely the state should be more grateful, of all high taxpayers really but instead we get demonized.

anyone having issues getting the credit union to issue the check due to the MVPA?

I ordered on 1/13, my delivery date is 2/14, and the MVPA puts the agreement on the date of delivery 2/14.

The USSFCU said they cannot release the check until the agreement date which is the date of contract.

Tesla cannot update the agreement date, because it's the day of delivery. Tesla want the payments on or before day of delivery.

I don't even know what to do, feels like their criteria contradict one another. And I'm stuck in the middle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you go to your car in the app, click Continue to get to the cards for each section. On the first one listing your name, click View. Towards the bottom on this new screen will be your Tesla Location for delivery.
