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)

What happens if you file with 2022 taxes and then the 2023 AGI is lower than 2022?
That won't happen in my case. I took some heavy losses in 2022. I think 2023 will be better, or the same as 2022. I don't think it could be worse than 2022. If I'm correct, I can then use 2023 for Solar panel credits. I'm not sure on that one yet. Just a thought.

Isn't it only when you have submitted your payment Tesla provided the final delivery date? I submitted my insurance info but haven't finished payment yet and don't know if I am supposed to make payment for Tesla to confirm pickup date or vise versa.
No. The rep at the Tesla dealer told me to wait for the VIN# to be assigned to your order. Once assigned you can shop for financing. It doesn't make sense to shop for financing on a car you don't have information on yet. You will run unnecessary inquiries shopping for good financing. Unless, however you are paying cash or are using one financing source.

Quote from mofofofo :
they just made this is an easy decision to wait and see the new EV's coming out soon. i was on the fence on ordering a MY, but will happily wait now.
Just seems in general it's best to wait unless you absolutely want a Tesla. The next 2-3 years a boat load of new EVs and hybrids will be coming onto the market from the "traditional" manufacturers. If anything that should put some pressure on additional qc, innovation and pricing. Hopefully. I.e. Im looking to replace a fully loaded Durango that yeah costs about double of your base Y costs (in other words Teslas aren't that expensive when put in perspective). BUT, I also get way more aggressive leasing options from Dodge and others, effectively making it a wash. I can also resell for a lot (read: way) more than residual. However there still aren't a lot of 3 rows out there with better mpg and same utility. Kia is supposed to release a brand new all electric 3 row this year, Toyota will come out with the Grand Highlander hybrid, etc...the big three will be pushing out several new models as well and so the list goes on.

Is there anyway to check the actual build date (not just the year) of MYLR using the VIN ?

FYI I just called Tesla. They asked where I got that message. I told them on the Tesla app. Tesla says they don't show anything about being out of 21" wheels. Just an FYI. I don't know what to make of it.

Problem is most legacy EVs are press releases instead of mass production.

Caddy began building the Lyriq in March 2022.

By end of 2022 they'd sold a whole... 122 of them. Total.

See also the EV hummer than has been in production since late 2021 and has sold a grand total of 855 vehicles through end of 2022.

Ford is doing a bit better here, they managed to crank out 13,258 EV F-150s in 2022... but that's still only like -2 percent- of all F-150 sales the rest being gasoline.

Toyota....is hilariously behind the entire industry in EVs at this point... embarrassingly so given how far ahead they were on hybrids at first... the only BEV they put on the market at all so far the needed Subarus help, then immediately had to recall for the wheels falling off.


The COMPETITION IS COMING narrative has been throw out there for a decade now, and it's still largely "some vague soontime in the future" as far as coming out in significant numbers of production..... in part because unlike Tesla, these guys are largely losing money on each EV they sell so they're not motivated to really make or sell that many of em.


Plus the issue of legacy dealers marking stuff up way past MSRP.


I did kinda skip over hybrids, because to me they're like a futon....not really a great couch, not really a great bed. They were a useful solution 10-20 years ago when BEVs weren't cost/range practical yet, but that day is gone...and as more of the market does go BEV in the next 5-10 years (with the EU and other places banning gas cars entirely by 2035) the resale values are gonna crater on these things too.

Nope
I see your point - but most of the traditional are just now bringing more of their factories online, building entirely new plants for battery production etc or spending billions on retooling. Dipping their toes in the water with cars they probably know weren't going to sell a ton seems to then make sense. However with that capacity coming online in the coming 2-3 years you can see they're adding a lot more accessible vehicles to the lineup like the EV Blazer coming out, Ford with its F150, or VW and BMW coming out with several models as well either in Europe and/or here are some as well just to name a few. The billions of dollars in projects already under construction, announced or planned by the traditionals are mind boggling. Again I get your point about the competition is coming, but this time it really seems to be happening. I understand markets across the country are different, but on an average day for instance I still see way more Ford Mustang Es and Chevy Bolt EVs than Teslas. Like anything else - nothing exists in a vacuum and either Tesla or the traditionals still have a long way to go with EV sales.

As far as your point re Hybrids and also Toyota - well taken. Obviously Toyota feels like they are the pioneer in it and don't seem to want to give it up. And in a way.. At least for now why should they when cars like the Prius are still so popular globally? At the same time I personally worry about resale indeed hence why I am leasing a gas vehicle now, and my next will likely be a lease again if I can find a favorable deal once more. The industry is still sorting itself out. And then we haven't even touched the issue of the power grid.

Unless you can find a site or someone who knows how to derive the serial numbers, your best bet would be to just contact a Tesla sales associate to get that checked for you. What you're looking for are both the general assembly and factory gate dates.
