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)

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,
More nonsense FUD.

Everybody knows. Including you.

Charging loss from wall isn't remotely close to the insane "50% or more or even double" #s you're posting.


Quote from Brooklynite :
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.
Again outright false. TONS of folks have measured this. It's impossible to believe you actually looked into it and are making these claims.

How many would you need me to list in just the first page of google results before you'd be embarrassed enough to admit you're just here spreading nonsense FUD?



Quote from Brooklynite :
So an 82KwH battery to get fully charged would cost me 82 * 1.3 * 0.62 =
Why are you doing the math with you charging during the 5 hours a day it's 62 cents, and not the 19 hours a day it's 24 cents?

Is it because anything else shows how nonsensical your cost claims are?



Ah, nevermind, I see you've been pretending to "think" about then decide against buying a Tesla for several years now.... here's you from 2020 for example explaining (inaccurately and dishonestly) the lack of walk-away-lock (which it absolutely has, and had when you posted saying otherwise) is holding you back:

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 =
I don't think the inefficiency is 20 to 30 percent. I have Tesla Solar roof and I can monitor my usage and I can see my usage go up by about 12kwh once my car starts charging (charger is on a 60 amp breaker and max charge of 11.9kwh). It takes just over 4 hours to go from 20% to 80%. My model 3 has a 75 kWh battery (2018 M3 Long Range RWD), 20% would be 15kwh left in the battery and I would need to charge up to 60 kWh (80% of 75kwh). To charge 45kwh, it takes 4 hours and 5 mins. And since charger is pulling about 12kwh, multiply that by 4 hours, and that's about 48kwh. So I'm losing about 3kwh to inefficiency. That's about 7% rounding up.

hu? that's not the case for me. I charge it from my powerwall and the two numbers match

Likely not. You have to decide the pros and cons of owning an EV.

Thank you this was great info. Now do the math on 0-100% battery. You selected the most efficient percentage range 20% to 60%. The lowest efficiency occurs outside of that band.

Post a link to where someone measured the electricity used off their meter vs what it shows inside a Tesla or similar. Its near impossible to find.

How do you lock a Tesla if you are 20 feet away without using a smartphone?

you put the address in the nav and tesla will route you in a way that stops at superchargers

if your use case is driving everywhere without filling up, then EVs will def not be for you

I didn't select anything. This is my real world charging behavior. I'm not even sure where you're getting your numbers, but my numbers are from my personal experience. Not sure who would drive their BEVs down to zero percent and also charge up to 100 percent every time.

I've also done identical trips from Greenwich CT to Quebec Canada in a Mercedes C Class and my Model 3. This was when gas was ~$3.00/gal for premium in 2017. Total trip cost $130 for gas and total supercharging cost just under $50 (round trip).

Electric cars aren't for everyone and if it's not for you, then you can move on. I'm sure nobody will have their feelings hurt. Smilie

Not sure if this is answered before. My loan got conditionally approved from TowerFCU. Do you submit the POA now or wait for Tesla to assign a VIN. Also account no is the Tesla order number correct?

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...
It all depends on each persons situation. I live in MA. My electricity rate is .45/kw. There is no off peak rate options for me. It's a flat rate anytime of the day. I have a Honda Accord Hybrid that gives me 48miles/gallon. If I chose to transition to EV this is the car I would replace.
However at todays prices it the cost for 100 miles. EV charge cost 26 * .45 = 11.7. Gas cost 3.29 * 100 /48 = $6.85. I don't drive a lot, my average annual mileage is about 8000. My car is 3 years old. I expect maintenance to be minimal $50/year for another 2 years at least.

Based on those numbers it makes no sense to upgrade to an EV in my situation. It all depends on your situation and the car you are replacing. Doing math based on National averages makes no sense. Everyone knows their numbers and should do their own calculations and arrive at a decision.

You need to have a VIN before you can sign the POA. How is TowerFCU going to tag your specific car without the VIN ID?

Wait on VIN before submitting PoA. Account number is your Tower Acct # or Loan #.
