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)

Thanks for clarification. As I'm also paying cash, I plan to setup my bank account and just pay at pick-up w/ Plaid then, once I do my inspection. Well, I'm hoping they drop off at my driveway, but we'll see if that's offered once I get my VIN and delivery scheduled.

A family member got their MYLR delivered to their driveway. I think they provided a 4 hour window for drop off.
They MAY require prepayment for home delivery vs. picking it up yourself at a service center. Just be prepared in case that comes up.

Could you tell me if the 7 seater is good, Any suggestions on which one to choose between Sienna 2023 XLE vs MYLR 7 seater. We use 7 seater very rarely (when my inlaws or parents visiting us). I have Sienna ready for Delivery in March and MYLR on Feb 15th, your feed back might give some insght on MYLT 7 vs Sienna for me.
​Not in the same league when comparing the third row. Minivans are great at transporting 7-8 people in which you actually have room in the third row and can fit adults. 3rd row midsize SUVs (and even full size SUV to an extent) have really tight 3rd row only suitable for kids and even then it's pretty cramped. Model Y (and even model X) are really cramped for average adults as your head is very closed to the rear windshield.

I have a 2021 Sienna (same body as 2023 I believe) and just got the MYLR 5 seater. And also 3 kids. I can't imagine there's any comfort in fitting small kids much less bigger people in the 3rd row comfortably in the Tesla. We essentially use the van for hauling everybody and the Tesla for shorter trips. Also for the Sienna we comfortably fit 3 kids and 2 dogs and luggage. Can't say that for the Tesla. Hope that helps!

I think you replied to the wrong person, but I agree with your points. Completely different comparing a minivan. I would NEVER buy a car with the 3rd row (except a oversized SUV or minivan). And oversized SUV I would mean like a Suburban, Tahoe, etc. I've sat in the 3rd row of the MDX, XC90, which are relatively roomier than the Model Y, and it was uncomfortable for anyone larger than 5'. Kids would be okay, but I don't know if I'd even want my kids in the 3rd for safety reasons.

If you need the 3rd row to use on a regular basis, go for the minivan. I could count on two hands the number of times we used the 3rd row on our other cars. Good in a pinch, but not ideal. Better than having a grown adult lying in the trunk I guess...LOL.

Id you wish to use Plaid to pay the balance on the car, you can do so at delivery. If you don't want to use Plaid, you can bring a bank certified check for the balance and give it to Tesla at delivery. You can, also, always pay in advance if you choose.
Using Plaid, can we transfer money from savings account or it has to be checking account??

You can transfer from savings. You basically navigate your online bank's system via Plaid.

Yes, I agree with all of that. The problem is that USSFCU said they cannot have me sign the paperwork for the loan itself before the Date of Agreement, which Tesla lists as the delivery date on the MVPA.

I already have my down in place, but they will not even let me SIGN the loan contract until the day of. They will mail it overnight for $30 fee on the date signed, but that's moot point because then it arrives the NEXT day.
hi, how did you resolve this issue? thanks

Sorry fixed that. My wife wanted to change to the 7-seater to have that option. I told her "you want to have the $4,000 option for something we haven't used in 6 years in our 2011 highlander?" Then proceeded to show her some YouTube reviews of the 7-seater Model Y. She changed her mind.

I'm not knocking the 7-seater but it was just not for us and shouldn't be considered as an alternative for hauling 7 passengers like a minivan does so well.

It is not true. I had the vin assigned and scheduled a delivery date which is next weekend and I haven't made the final payment yet. I was thinking to pay via plaid or bank transfer and now I am thinking to get a cashier's check or something from my bank.
Same. Mine is scheduled next week and I have not paid yet. I was not sure if they will allow plaid payment after I pickup the car. Why are you thinking of getting a certified check?

Finally found a decent set of floor mats after the third attempt. This is for MYLR seven seater, but the have a five seat option. The first were either quality of fit issues. These worked perfectly.

I'm financing through Tesla. Once done with financing in the app, I just went ahead and paid my down payment in the app.

I've also changed the terms today to add additional down payment and will pay the remaining balance tomorrow when I inspect and pickup the car... also doing so via plaid. CS told me via text that I can pay via plaid or cashier's check. If you do online banking, I can only see one reason for you not to use plaid: you don't want a third party involved in your data. Most places charges an extra fee for cashier checks and it also adds the inconvenience to have to go to the bank to get that check as well.

I am not worried about plaid, have used it in the past as well. I just wanted to make sure that tesla is fine with paying at the time of delivery as I am not financing.

Order 2/2 and got the VIN number the next day with an TBD EDD. Today the EDD change to Feb-March like everyone else but the VIN disappeared from my account. The VIN does show the model I ordered. Wondering if it will get updated with different VIN or original VIN will reappear soon.
