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)

Gold Coast CORRECTION:
On the 60 month term and 72 month term you WILL need to have direct deposit to get the 2.49 for 60 month rate and 3.49 for 72 month rate. You have to have the direct deposit go in before they will give you the discounted rate. If no direct deposit, your 60 month rate is 2.99 and the 72 month rate is 3.99. GLTY!
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to get your membership processed?

Membership took a couple of days. I kept calling until I found out who the membership processor was.

Not sure if the govt's push towards electrifying America is working its magic but it feels like I woke up one day and just decided to go for it. been knee-deep in getting solar quotes (and ofcourse, there's always the ancillary stuff like main panel upgrades and permits and running a new wire/conduit for EV charger), and now that stuff is finalized, I realized we don't have an EV yet.
our ICE car lease is up next month and in the market for model y.
so, for folks in the Bay area or SoCal, if you'd like to give up your MYLR (black interior), I would be happy to take it off your hands.
don't qualify for the tax credits and if delivery takes a couple of months, so be it. meanwhile, I'll keep looking on CL and FB for used ones.
I just got my Y this morning, so now I have a '19 Midrange M3 with FSD, if you're interested. It's definitely not a new MYLR, but it's an awesome EV.

Picked up today. PF68X build, so came from Fremont.
-included Matrix headlights
-no mudflaps or PPF
-no panel gap issues
-everything else was good, except for a couple very minor paint spots where there is a small piece of lint and/or a imperfection. Will have to get it repaired eventually at their paint shop.
Congrats!!!thank you for updating!I just come back from Tesla service center and was told by SA, all MYLR/P will have Matrix in the close future. Let's see if it is true.

This morning, I found an inventory (increased price) MYLR White/Black with 20" induction wheels. I went ahead and placed an order hoping that delivery will be quick, VIN is assigned, but delivery now shows 2/25 to 3/3. I have a slight concern if it was a cancellation or rejection, but I guess only pre-delivery inspection can answer that. Anyone that ordered from inventory share their experience on how quickly delivery was scheduled?
When you switched the car to inventory item, did they adjust the price to reflect the price range you had during initial order date or they applied the current price?

I already finished plaid verification for Bank of america account in tesla app. I'm not getting loan through tesla , but through by local credit union. Just isn't clear how am I supposed to make downpayment. will the app tell me when to do a down payment? and do I just do that using the tied BOA account during pick up?
If you have say $10k down, the app will prompt you to make final payment about 24hr before scheduled delivery. You can actually wait until you go to pickup the car before you pay via plaid.

Can't answer that, it's up to you if spending $2000 more is worth it to you.

I know I already missed the bus at reduced price. Hence debating, whether to order it or not.

Thats extremely quick. I ordered from inventory on 2/10 and my delivery is 2/23 - 3/23.
I spoke to Tesla sales - was told that inventory car I ordered just rolled off Austin production line and is in transit to delivery location in SoCal. The rep was also able to schedule my delivery a week out. I would recommend calling the delivery location and select delivery option to speak to an advisor. Good luck!
