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

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)

Just FYI, PRE-ORDER - Estimated shipping date starts on March 15, 2023 !!!
Quote from nitgul :
My original order was on 1/20 with the ETA between Jan 31 to Feb 24 which changed to Feb 12 to Mar 10. I changed the color and interior on 1/27 and the ETA remained the same Feb 12 to Mar 10. On Friday the delivery date changed to Feb 5 to Feb 12 and I have scheduled the delivery for Feb 8th.
How are you able to change the color ? i picked white but thinking of changing color. Delivery shows 02/18 - 02/25 NO VIN yet

I was actually incorrect. Our new power cost has been bumped up to $0.62.kwh. If you have an electric stove in my neighborhood, its cheaper to dine out every day than cook at home. Electric oven? lol
That is one hell of a rate! I've been fortunate to be a low-medium cost of living area. I don't have gas service at my house, but at my prior house, it was expensive.

I would have to do a proper comparison though as this house has good insulation and is much better built than the prior one (even though it's 20 years older). So much of the "expensive" gas was likely because thermal leakage.

I've got 2,400 sq ft. all electric here and paid $160/mo for electricity including one Tesla. We've since gotten solar and pay much less, but we will be adding another Tesla to the charging load. Jan & Fed are typically my highest usage months of the year (electric heat), and I used 1,320 kWh. That ran about $120. Water would be another $40 and that's it for utilities here.

I also have SCE and that is the price for the Time of Use plan for EV owners.
They had a ToU plan that cost around 10 cents a Kw from 10pm - 8am, but of course they got rid of it and forced everyone to the higher priced plan.
I am not actually they just raised it to $0.62 during the day! (other plans like TOU-D-5-8pm are actually higher)

This should be a crime! We are locked into this house with no other option. Solar costs just as much. Owning EV in our neighborhood is dump, I calculated a 100 mile trip costs me equal to $4/gal gas car which is WAY cheaper and more luxurious and dependable than an EV especially a Tesla which is still overpriced on the Model Y.

I recently bought a Palisade SE with good quality self driving on highways and it was only $37.2K + sales tax. I would not trade this for a Tesla Y even if they pay me $15K cash so a Model Y is worth $22K to me or less.

Is this new during covid? Didnt realize socal had such high energy prices for EVs. 22 cents isnt too crazy though with how inflation has been going. Thats still 82kwh * .22, $18 for 330 miles of real world range in model 3 long range. Better than $50 in gas.

For the summer I would grab cheap solar panels and then i guess a cheap ecoflow battery i think that would allow you to charge directly from the ecoflow? not sure what efficiency loss is
Charging an EV is not 100% efficient. This is a real secret no one talks about. When you fill up a 82KwH battery, the amount of energy you actually use off your house meter is much higher and could be 20% or 50% more or even double who knows, There is literally no documentation on this anywhere and no one has measured it. I have searched many sites and youtube and since Tesla gives you the KwH used no one bothers to measure it off the wall. And honestly its very difficult anyway because its not a regular 110v outlet to just buy a device and measure the efficiency. All that heat generated and the battery cooling etc is all inefficiencies Tesla doesnt want you to know.

So an 82KwH battery to get fully charged would cost me 82 * 1.3 * 0.62 =

Got my VIN for Austin MYSR but the delivery window is 02/16-03/16. Can I still benefit from the tax break if the delivery is after 03/01? If not, can I cancel my order after providing my registration detail?

No, it really does not.

Cool, now we have all we need to prove your claim is way off from reality with basic math!

Your screen shots show you pay 24 cents per kwh for 19 out of every 24 hours.

You can, of course, schedule what time you charge to avoid those insanely overpriced 5 hours a day.

At 30 kwh per 100 miles (the worst efficiency of the least efficient model Y) it would cost you $7.20 to drive 100 miles.

So at $4/gal gas you'd need to be driving a car that got over 55 mpg to be "equivalent" to the Tesla.

Helpfully- you TOLD US what you actually drive and it's not remotely close. Plus gas is more than $4/gal in your state. See below for more math on that.


Your Palasade SE has 21-22 mpg combined mileage per the maker of the vehicle... so that 100 mile trip would take 4.65 gallons of gas (using 21.5 mpg).

Which since you're in CA averages $4.61 a gallon right now... so $21.44 to go 100 miles.


In other words, the EV is about 1/3rd the cost per 100 miles driven in fuel per your own provided info, even against the LEAST efficient Model Y.


That's before we consider the costs you'll pay for oil changes, replacing things like coolant, spark plugs, belts, etc over time than you don't need to do in an EV, much more frequent brake replacement, etc...

Need to make decision whether to take delivery next week.

Currently on a 2014 MDX with 150k miles. Today I drove my MDX to a more rural place in PA about 150miles away. I just feel Model Y probably wouldn't make the round trip on a single charge...

Answered roughly 9,763 times already.

Nobody can answer your question until the new guidance is issued- other than to tell you three things:

1) You'd still qualify for at least $3750.

2) The Austin Y with 4680 cells is the most likely to ALSO still qualify for the other $3750 as well since the cells and packs are all made in the US. But again until guidance is issued in march no definitive answer is possible.

3) Cancelling your order will forfeit the order fee

Why would it need to? Chargers, esp. for Teslas, are very common now. 5 minutes at any supercharger would be plenty for the trip. Maybe 10 minutes if it's dead of winter or something. (or simply plugged in for an hour or two at the destination if you've got a 240v plug available there before heading back)

Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.
Somebody posted either here in another forum where they said they spoke to tesla I believe and they mentioned they were in the process of setting it up again. Who knows how factual that is/was

So Austin builds likely would qualify for the entire $7,500?

Seems like it will be a cluster f for irs to verify builds and where they comes from (Austin/Fremont) to be able to tell if somebody is eligible
