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)

Quote from thefisch :
The standard range ones that pop up in inventory in my area are shown as coming soon with a future build date within the coming week, as opposed to available on the lot. Not sure about anywhere else. Seems folks snatch them up before they arrive though. I saw somewhere that if you reserve one of those arriving soon to your area it takes about a week or two for delivery. Tesla just dropped another 200+ and they'll probably all be reserved come morning.

I've thought about what if news breaks that the tax credit is reduced to $3,500 or $0 for the Model Y, Would I jump on a local inventory MY the same day to get delivery in time for the tax credit? Right now they don't have any MY available at my local sales center except a red 7 seater with white interior. The options are $6k more than what I ordered so that eats into the tax savings.

Unfortunately, it's anyone's guess how much notice we will get before the change in tax credit takes affect. I'm not going to quote it right but I recall reading on here and some IRS or Treasury document that the change would take effect the day after the proposed guidance is released. So do we all have to make a run on existing inventory the day of release to beat the change? Will the Treasury allow for a deadline of a future date like March 31 or June 30 so taxpayers have adequate notice of the change? No one knows.

Realistically it will take manufacturers time to assess how their products align with the elements of the proposed guidance once issued. Ideally the IRS would give them a deadline to do that so that customers can be informed of what a certain vehicle qualifies for credit-wise. Otherwise, people would be ordering/buying cars without the knowledge of how much tax credit is available on that car (assuming one qualifies). That would be interesting for sure - will have my popcorn ready.
Exactly, good info!

I order a MY LR (the grey color) and everything else stock on 1/29. EDD is 4/2 to 5/14. If theres no tax credit ($7k is alot of money); might cancel the order and take the $250 lost

And those two deep pockets in the Trunk on each side. I think I want something to fill those in, like storage boxes with lids that sit flush with the rest of the trunk floor.

About $20-$25 shipped each on Ali. I would wait a bit, as some of the reviews complain that the right side doesn't fit as well. Left side fits like a glove though. Not sure if the 23 models are slightly different in fit. Certainly not worth $80 for 2 though.

I want to change the color of my y. My date keeps moving. First it was Feb 20-march 20 then Feb 5-feb18 then every day since it just creeps up feb6-18, feb7-18,etc. Would a color change effect the delivery date? I haven't been assigned a vin so I assume the car is nowhere near being in production.

Anyone planning to get PPF and/or Ceramic coating done on your Model Y? I am not sure if I should go for it. It's a lot of money. Any suggestion?

Got my white MYLR standard today (MA). Austin build so no matrix lights but build quality is nice, suspension - dont know the comfort or not, but quite smooth than the test drive/my friends 2022 freemont. My battery was about 47% but they kept in supercharger till the paper works and i left at 81%. Installed a 3d mats at delivery location itself. Only thing that sucks youtube music - no app, even while using the browser stops while driving, ended up using apple music (trial).

Same time another person was picking a grey MYLR, which is freemont built (ordered same date as mine) which had matrix lights and no panel gaps, but the car door was very hard to close (when they closed, it didnt close fully, need to re-open and close very hard - i tested too and way harder than mine). They come from too far and happy to still take it as the tesla guy said new can be hard and soon it will be alright !( may be they will get used).

All cars had PPF/front flaps/trunk dividers/carpet mats.

Yeah, I saw that too. Some of them (on aliexpress) specifically call out for 2022 only or China made only. I'm just gonna wait because I'm not in a hurry.
