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)

Same here! I think it may have changed 2 weeks longer, but that's it.

For those who were able to call dealer and get an inventory vehicle attached to their order, can you please share what the process is. I see a vehicle that matches my order but when I call I get the standard response that the vehicle is designated for someone ahead of me in the order queue.

Found an available car in the online inventory within 200 miles matching my existing order, called but was told that I have to drive there to pick it up and they cannot deliver the car to my nearby tesla center. Is this normal, or should I try to call and speak with another person? Thanks!

This was a few weeks ago. Found a car 3hrs away and asked them to attach it to my order. They offered to redirect it to my closest center (2hrs) away. To me it made no difference. They said it's not a big deal as the vehicle was still being built. Anyways they did the small move and there was no charge nor was any charge ever mentioned. But I would expect if the vehicle was already at that other location, then there would have been a charge to move it.

The representative said that the car will arrive in 2-3 weeks, so it should not arrive that other location yet. But he mentioned that the only option was to drive there and pick it up at that location.

BTW, I called the number at that location and spoke to the person there, not sure if that made any difference. Tried to call the tesla 888 number and was never able to talk with someone. Any tip to talk with tesla 888 number?

I came in the middle of this conversation. I have heard both. The year you take deliver doesn't matter and we can calculate in 2022, or 2023 taxes. But I have also been told, I have to use Tax year I took delivery of car? Are you positive? Thanks
You don't have to take my word for it, the US government has a specific page for vehicles purchased in calendar year 2023 or after: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deduc...3-or-after

"You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit."

Is it a Demo? Usually they can only re-route a car before it hits a destination. After that you have to go get it

Dealerships also get their pre ordered stock which can be checked normally under online inventory. This is mainly for people who visit dealership directly for booking tesla. Those cannot be shipped to your home.

Only Your personalized order made online can be shipped to your home or to your nearest dealership.

With current situation of longer wait times, if you want to take quick delivery, keep checking online inventory and book it once you see it. Most likely it will be in-transit and you will be able to get it in 2-3 weeks.

I ordered a MYLR yesterday late afternoon, with upgraded rims, it had a delivery date of March-May 2023. Didn't have a VIN assigned.

After reading this thread, I changed my order early evening (before the price increase) to the MYP. The delivery date immediately changed to February-March 2023. It was instant, as soon as I pressed the button to update the order.

Better book that online inventory one and pay $250. You will loose your earlier bookings $250 but you will get the inventory car pretty sooner (~2weeks)
