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.
Whats MVPA? lol
I was driving by the deal2and popped in to ask them. The SA said that Order Agreement should update with VIN and that's what I will need to send to Tower. Since my VIN was just issued the documents didn't update yet.
Not sure how correct she is.

Also I did pick and got approved for Tesla financing and no changes are allowed without reaching out to them.
The MVPA is not visible if you have Tesla financing selected. It is for cash and third party. With Tesla financing, you see a document like Financing Agreement or something like that instead of Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement (MVPA).

that was expected, it doesnt make sense to give them 7B for chargers only for Tesla. I'm guessing they dont have to change the current ones but only the new ones if they want the free money
Is this a good thing for Tesla share holders? and car owners? So Tesla will get subsides building new super charging stations that can take in non Tesla EVs?

I think it is good. Specially since there will be more charges and they can charge the other users more

Unlikely. Tesla SA said I need to pickup by 27th. My EDD per website is 24th to 3rd.
My Tower loan is already approved I just need a check. All pending Tower account creation.
They just need to cut my check before 20th.

Picked up my LRY today from NJ , 2nd attempt as I rejected the first VIN from Austin Giga due to trunk panel gaps which dealership couldn't fix, todays pickup was Fremont factory, came with matrix headlights , think it's random at this point no one knows until u get the car about the lights.

So you accepted delivery and the panel gaps werent fixable so they sent another vehicle and you turned in the bad one when the new one came?

I think you said no pictures, could you describe the panel gaps? was it off by more than 1/4"? and where?

You mean you can transfer your order to someone and take the $250 order fee from them privately?

I have pre approval from tower for 2.99 but I got 2.59 from Gold Coast
(anyone that went through GCFCU - would appreciate the feedback)

How did you donate the $5?

I filed an application online for a checking account. They took $50 to open the account but I didnt get any link or such to make the donation happen.

Did you upload a photo of your drivers license? Did mine manually entered in instead of uploading a photo - not sure if that will cause any delays.

How long did the process take you? I just applied Friday 2/10.
Tesla showing est delivery of 3/15-3/31.

Thanks in advance!

People login into their bank account and see that they cannot afford a 50K vehicle lol or the monthly payments. It's probably an impulse buy lol

I rejected the first delivery , didn't accept it, sales rep didn't confirm on 2nd vin, as tesla does it with algorithm, new vin and delivery were 16 day gap from first delivery, I am happy with current inspection. Panel gap was on driver side trunk.
