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)

I read somewhere before that they were going to reintroduce the hypersonic sensors again sometime in Jan, is not a no now as I have not heard any mention of it lately.

I'm unaware of any rumor suggesting ultrasonics were coming back-- Tesla seemed pretty clear they plan to replace their functionality with vision only.

There IS a rumor of a radar production coming- but the gag order on the FCC releasing details has now been pushed back to March 7th.

Tesla plans to hold a presentation March 1st, including discussing future product plans-- so most speculation is they will show the HW4 sensor suite coming later this year on cybertruck that might include the new radar.

Remains unclear if/when that would come to other cars, and what the actual functional difference might be if it does.

I hear you about some things being change for changes sake. On your cruise control note, when it's active, using the right-hand scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
Thank you so much. Sounds easy enough.

How do you check if you have a P motor, other than the VIN.
I would counter with why do you care? Whether you have the 980 or 990 variant of the motor, they are software configured to perform identically for a long range car.

And yet for the most part their sales are declining, while Tesla keeps growing theirs an average of 50% CAGR year after year.

it's almost like "update the bumpers and trim" isn't as important to new buyers as "Make a functionally more compelling product" or something!

The fact legacy auto often has to "refresh" things like bumpers and trim because they have no actual innovation to present is exactly why their sales are shrinking in the face of actual market disrptuon.


Scroll wheel on the steering wheel.

Thank you for the scroll wheel tip.

Regarding sales declining for other brands vs. growing with Tesla, I think that a huge part of that is simply vehicle availability. Tesla should get credit for having their sourcing nailed down better than the major manufacturers, but not if the point you are making is that people want Teslas more than Car X that is unavailable.

I am just curious because people brought it up


But who knows, maybe one day Elon can upgrade me if I have the hardware

If you need a car now, Model Y is the best option for most people in the price range of $50k to $60k.

-- If you don't need a car now, other traditional car companies will have bettrt electric car options with smaller gaps from Tesla in two years for sure.
-- if you need third row seats most time like me, Acura/Audi... all have better options with ICEs.

I am still struggling to decide to sell the 150k miles MDX or 50k miles GLE after taking the delivery of the Model Y. Or change Model Y to 7 seater or even just cancel the Y order.
LOL I also have a 2010 MDX w/150k miles. I ordered a MYP and don't need 3 suv's (wife has a new Rav 4) but I am attached to the MDX for some weird reason (damn gas guzzler!).

Excluding some EV unicorns, what cars are "unavailable" from legacy vehicle makers?

Toyota, Ford, GM, Stellantis, Hyundai, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, VW, BMW, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar/LR... all had YoY declines in 2022 compared to 2021 in US sales. Some by small amounts...some by a LOT (Honda was down over 33%, Nissan nearly 25%, VW down over 20%, Toyota down over 10%). Not "one niche model that was hard to get" but over their entire lineups.

Daimler was up 4%, the only legacy company on the list not in the red.

Tesla was up 77.51% year over year. Not a typo.

From whom do you think Tesla took that >77% increase in buyers from if NOT the legacy OEMs whose sales keep declining?

Also own a 2017 GLE350, nice SUV and it's just one bar higher than Y's interior.

i'd say sell that MDX

It can be argued that even if those were software locked, one may have higher durability due to less load percentage.
I mean, would you not taking the 980 over 990 if the choice is available to you at no cost?

Mine is 2014. We are also somehow attached to it -- got it just before our second child was born. Really reliable, no problem at all other than regular maintenance, I even just fed the MDX with regular gas!

It was heating really fast in winter -- what I love about the sad fact of 20mpg haha

LOL 20mpg on a good day! Other than gas mileage, it's been a rock solid car for the past 13 years. I also use regular gas with 0 issues. Btw, my friend offered $6k for it. Not sure if that's a fair price.

​We have a 2011 highlander with 110k and keeping it. Yes it's a gas guzzler but it can haul quite a bit more. I've sat in a friend's MDX from that gen and there is something about how comfy and plush the driver seat is with real leather.

100a panel or subpanel? Tesla wall charger can go up to 48a on 60a circuit breakers - giving you 44 mph charge.

Your mobile connector comes with your standard 5-15 adapter which uses your regular plug but charging at 120v or a NEMA 14-50 adapter to plug into either a dedicated NEMA 14-50 that you or an electrician installed or one already there in the garage for a dryer for example - the dryer plugs are typically 240v but only 30amp so it will be faster than your 120v but slower than your a Tesla wall charger or dedicated NEMA 14-50.
