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)

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?
DP:

Ordered 1/15 late evening - MYLR White, all standard options
Current EDD: Feb 16-Mar 16

Had finished all pre-delivery steps within few days of booking, but have been waiting for co-registrant since

No VIN assigned

Remove co-registrant.
Pre-delivery steps were updated, suddenly asking for additional loan info (since i had selected self arranged).

Switched to Tesla loan, credit hit on Equifax from US Bank (and not Wells Fargo), approved within couple of minutes

Still no change to delivery date or VIN.

Everyone should just wait until march 1st to see what the announcement is, if you haven't already ordered. Most likely you won't get the car on time any way if you purchased now.

I picked up my MYLR 19" wheels yesterday. The ride is a lot more rough than I remember from the short little test drive I did at a local used car dealership. I know people are saying that these have a new updated comfort suspension. I can't imagine how rough the ride would be without that.

When did you order the MY and what's your location

Any suggestions on whether it's preferable to charge the car outside the house (for risk of bursting/short circuit) or inside the garage. I bought Tesla wall charger and looking to install it. Also any idea how much does it cost to install? I am in central NJ

The window should tighten when you do the todo items in the Tesla app. At least, that's what I noticed in the past.
I Finished all the tasks in the tesla app still showing the same EDD date 02/18 - 03/25

You need to at least do the registration step to get in line as that tells Tesla which location they need to deliver it to

I have Family who have been charging 2 Tesla's inside their garage for 10 plus years
Have friend who recently got Model X and charges outside(his garage is full of stuff so not sure if that is reason)
All my neighbors charge inside garage

I am also in CNJ, installation cost will vary significantly based on Licensed electrician and distance from Panel (I am getting a quote early next week from a referred Licensed electrician)

ChargeUP NJ will not give you rebate for Tesla charger
Get Juicebox from Costco for $599 and you will get $250 back from ChargeUp NJ
JCPL(First Energy) will give you upto $1500 installation cost credit on your bill if you install approved charger like Juicebox(not Tesla) and 2c per KWH discount offpeak charging

EVs catch on fire roughly 10x less often than gasoline cars (and even less often than that if you exclude Chevy Bolts that had a defective, different type, of battery than Tesla uses). Did you park your gas car in your garage previously?

That said- unless you're sure what you're doing, have the charger professionally installed in either case. It's much more common for a fire to come from bad wiring jobs than an EV.

4.99% - My check arrived yesterday. It could be another 0.25% less if you were buying an EV from a traditional dealer and use the car buying service.

For reference, my other two Teslas with DCU are 1.49% and 1.74%, but of course I didn't get the loan in 2022-3.
