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)

Sad they increase the credit threshold towards the end of the EV tax credit term when it is very well known issue about lack of supply.

This further increases upward price from the manufactures and likely not squeezing their margins. Ford and GM do not have that much margin built on their EVs. .

What happens if you file with 2022 taxes and then the 2023 AGI is lower than 2022?
You claim the credit when you file your 2023 taxes. If either in 2022 or in 2023 your MAGI meets the requirements, you get the credits.

For those who see negative amount due at signing (after financing)
Did you get a refund at the time of delivery?

Why would this matter? As long as one of the years is below the limit, you are good.

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
VW announced in 2013 they expect to be the largest maker of EVs by 2018. They were not (and still are not) even close.

GM announced in Oct 2017 it would launch 20 new EV models by2023. It is 2023 now and the only two they've actually launched since then (hummer and lyriq) have sold less than 1000 total vehicles.

Lots of companies have been announcing stuff for years. Actual production not so much.

And most of what they HAVE produced has been underwhelming... VW began ID.4 production in 2020... and only sold about 20k ID.4s in the US in all of 2022 for example.




Quote from dplane :
Again I get your point about the competition is coming, but this time it really seems to be happening
It has, thanks to press released and fake "we can't actually build hardly any of these" launches, that way for years though.

The actual #s don't support the idea this will change all that much in the next 2-3 years... for example GM said it planned to build 400k BEVs total from 2022-2024... we already know they only managed a bit under 40k in all of 2022 (and 98% of those were the bolt). Meanwhile Tesla produced over 1.3 million JUST in 2022 and plans to continue averaging 50% annual increases in output the rest of the decade.


That's not to say a few companies aren't legit scaling at all, but it's mostly folks scaling from nearly 0 to maybe the output Tesla had 2-4 years ago while they've continued growing massively.

Legacy is way behind and has been falling further so.


Quote from dplane :
. 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.
Chevy sold about 38,000 bolts last year.

Ford sold about about 39,000 Mach Es last year.

Tesla sold about 1.2 million 3/Y last year.

If you just count total vehicles sold since each launched BEVs we have:

Tesla 3/Y- 2..8 million vehicles.
Chevy bolt- 140,000

That's about 20 Teslas sold for each Bolt.

The Mach E is an even tinier # than the bolt lifetime.

Plus Tesla has sold very roughly 500-900k S/X in that time too so it's an even bigger ratio in Teslas favor.


So I can't imagine where you live where you're seeing "way more" of 2 cars with over 20x less sales on the road

(granted most Ford/GM sales are in the US, and not all of Teslas are, but you're still talking well over 10x the # of Teslas compared to the others)



Quote from dplane :
Like anything else - nothing exists in a vacuum and either Tesla or the traditionals still have a long way to go with EV sales.
The thing is...Virtually every time Tesla sells a BEV, it's making a large profit on it and displacing an ICE sale from another company that takes profit from that other company

Every time Ford or GM sells one, they're displacing an ICE sale from themselves that takes profit from themselves.

That's not a sustainable business model.

Fords CEO just admitted a ton of screwups they made on design, engineering, and cost with the Mach E, and how they're losing $ on them to the tune of billions. So selling more makes that worse for them.



Quote from dplane :
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?
Prius sales in 2022 depending on model were down 20-50%

Prius sales peaked in *checks notes* 2010. In the US specifically they peaked in 2012, and they're down MASSIVELY since then.

Toyota has a habit of developing a successful product, then leaving it on the market for as long as possible without major investment to maximize value on the initial development.

This works great when your industry rarely innovates more than better cup holders.

It's a garbage business plan when the entire industry is being disrupted by a sea change.

Toyota today is Nokia in 2008ish.


Quote from dplane :
The industry is still sorting itself out. And then we haven't even touched the issue of the power grid.

power grid is largely a red herring... not everyone is charging all at once, and most charging happens at night when the grid has the least demand in general.

Engineering explained covered how relatively easily the grid can handle moving to 100% BEV in a great video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dfyG6FXsUU

tl;dr is that based on likely rate of adoption, and the already ongoing rate at which we add capacity, with time of use in play it's really a non-issue to have the grid be able to handle it long term.

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.
Nice. Did you just edit the original order through the app/site, or create a new order? I did mine through the website with confirmation. Color of my MY has changed on the app to reflect the edits, but still shows same exact date range.
