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)

Tesla would have sold a lot more cars if Musk would just stay away from Twitter.

No, they wouldn't have. They literally could not have

Because they already sell all the cars they can make, despite increasing that output an average of 50% every year for almost a decade now.

I'm not suggesting he didn't say dumb stuff that turned a lot of people off. But there were no "more" cars for Tesla to have sold if he hadn't.... demand continues to, significantly, exceed supply.


That's true for ALL decent EVs, not just Tesla... and will continue to be true for years as EVs entirely replace ICE vehicles throughout the next 5-10 years. The main difference is Teslas supply is much larger than everyone elses.

Ford was #2 in US EV sales in 2022 for example... and their total sales for the year was roughly as many EVs as Tesla built in 2 weeks, same year.

I don't know where you live, but CA has the following law:

"California Legislature passed AB 2565 in 2014. Codified at California Civil Code section 1947.6, the new law creates a procedure requiring landlords to accept tenants lawful written requests to install EV charging stations and their related infrastructure. Today, California tenants have the right to install equipment to charge their electric cars."
I live in Virginia and thanks for the info! I will check with my leasing office.

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?
Not to mention the ghost modification on the 980s.

Some of those states have adopted the ZEV program, so those cars are allocated for those states only.

I read many reviews that were negative TCU but now I am guessing I should have went with my 1st thought which was them. Going to give GCFCU until Friday to get back to me then decide. This is becoming a problem with some of these lenders.
Apply at both go with who ever delivers first.

Like any credit union, you need to open up a savings account with them. You could just put $5 in there, but they pay over 6% on the first thousand in there.
Must be a saving? Can it also be checking? I did just the checking when I apply, should I add saving as well?

So you are saying that Tesla would have sold 2x more cars if Musk stayed away from Twitter. I call bullshit on that.

I do agree that there certainly are a lot of political bigots, though. If people didn't hate Musk after the Thailand rescue comments but hate him now, they probably fall into that category.
How did you come up with 2X?

I live in an apartment and no way to charge at home. Guess I will have to use the supercharger stations Smilie Switching from a 2013 Camry btw.
Thats me too! I have a sc like 10 mins away which I plan to use exclusively.

I have been reading that always sc charging can be bad for batteries. Not sure though.

BTW I'm getting the 3rwd which has lfp batteries.

Always supercharging can indeed be harder on the battery... on the bright side, the LFP batteries are much more durable so should be less of a concern.

And "harder" is relative too--- a service that runs luxury limo type service in Teslas and supercharged 100% of the time, on older S/X battery tech, still got hundreds of thousands of miles before significant battery degradation... the newer 2170, and especially the LFPs, ought to be fine LONG past anyone is likely to own the thing.

Yikes. I've been ignoring the pre-delivery tasks. Placed my order on 1/20 and the delivery estimate hasn't changed from "January - March 2023". Now I'm wondering if I actually have not been in line this entire time...

Does anyone else have more insight on this? Has anyone received their VIN without completing any of the pre-delivery tasks?
