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)

No. Only a J1772 adapter.

No one asked me, but my wife picked one up a couple weeks ago with the initial price drop. Initial feedback:
1. I didn't realize it at the time, but we bought the 269 mile version, not the 330 something mile version. God Dammit.
2. Got the Tesla charger installed at our carport for $300. That was much less painful than I expected.
3. Cruise control is a must to get decent mileage, and I have more trouble getting cruise control to operate as expected in this car than I have in any of my previous cars, spanning just about every brand- Pontiac (3x), VW, Mercedes, Chevy, Subaru, Ford.
4. On that note, everything in the car is just different enough that it's jarring to my 40 year old ass. I'm driving a $25k Ford Maverick that has normal door handles, framed windows, and physical buttons and dials for the AC and Carplay.
5. I wanted to hate it, but the driving itself is fun. My dream car was my 2016 Chevy SS, this is faster.
6. EVs in general are cool, but there's no way that shoppers would let GM, Toyota, or VW get away with the fit and finish and general quirkiness of this car, especially at this price point.
7. Hardcore Tesla fans kind of suck. Most of them weren't "car people" until they got the Tesla, and it shows. The per capita rate of vanity plates is way too high and they refer to their cars as "Teslas" with way too much pride.

In light of all of the above, I'm really looking forward to buying an EV for myself from a major manufacturer. This performance, free (with solar) fuel, and normal farking Carplay, leather, and doors would be pretty sweet.

Ordered a MYLR, thinking about upgrading to the Performance version, is it worth it?
You'll get a bigger motor, bigger tires, bigger brakes, lower suspension, and a spoiler. If you want a more fun and sportier ride, it is a no-brainer now with the tax credit.

The low-profile tires need a bit more care and are more expensive to replace. My current car has low-profile tires, and you'll need to be careful around potholes and speed bumps as they can damage the rim. But if you don't like the wheels, you could always swap them out and sell them.

NC Wake too.. sold my old vehicle and have the plate valid till Aug. Was told not to take it off insurance yet ( might have chances of auto plate cancellation).

While filling the Registration info in app, choose option to reuse the plate. Hopefully that should help.

I do see Registration Amount 77.50 in the final price of MYLR. Not Sure if that is amt for transferring plate ( DMV says it's 21$) or new plate. Vehicle should be up for delivery next week,. No date yet. Will call service center then

All this, just to delay paying property taxes till Aug when old plate expires.

MYLR has a more comfortable ride. And better range.

Yes. It is worth it price wise. Consider the wheel upgrade itself is 2k, and performance software unlocked is 2k. That's already 4k. The performance version is a faster car with different suspension, brakes and other addons. I would be getting the performance if I didn't already take delivery of the long range Y for 4k extra.
However... Even the long range version of this car is faster than anything this car has business with. In term of needs? You don't really need the performance version, but it sure looks better and is of A batter value
any other reason to get the performance version is that you may have better chance find your car in the sea of teslaa

Tesla needs the full payment when u pick up the car, not before the delivery date… u need to have everything setup including Finance on Tesla app.

Let's say ur car total cost is $60k… you're financing $40k and paying $20k out of your pocket… u go to Tesla App and indicate the financial institution you're financing with and for how much… then the MVPA will show all the detail of ur payment… for $20k cash, you can also use Tesla app to pull money directly from bank account… for the finance loan check from the bank, USSFCU will mail u a check made out to Tesla which u hand off at the time of pickup.

USSFCU can mail u a loan check overnight if u need it for $30 fee or they can send regular mail to you ahead of pick up date.
Yes, I agree with all of that. The problem is that USSFCU said they cannot have me sign the paperwork for the loan itself before the Date of Agreement, which Tesla lists as the delivery date on the MVPA.

I already have my down in place, but they will not even let me SIGN the loan contract until the day of. They will mail it overnight for $30 fee on the date signed, but that's moot point because then it arrives the NEXT day.

NC new registration is $235. It would be nice to swap plates, but we are keeping my S, so I'll get a new tag with the Y and later figure out how to swap my vanity plate.

You can also get the software unlocked ("acceleration boost") for $2k. You don't get any of the other updates though.

Which is still slower than performance version. They are two different motor

but as I said before. LR is plenty fast, with better ride. and if you don't take the car to track, there isn't much need for the suspension upgrade (and would be a downgrade in ride quality), and you will almost never use the brake. but 4 k is still a good price for wheels and other cosmetics. I would have jumped on it if the opportunity was available to me. I value them around 5 to 6k. not 11k.
