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)

Are reservations transferable? People on reddit are saying it's not possible and most likely scams. What the?
Same question, has anyone successful change reservation to another person that is not family member? I called Tesla and he said no, maybe he was discouraging the practice?

Unsure from where ppl are wondering cargo cover. But all 2023 models include it. Missing one is a mistake to justify requesting one. PPF and mud flaps are regional extra. The latter we can install one by ourselves for the 4 wheels in 15 minutes for $30-$40. I did on mine.
$40 is pretty good. Please share the product links.

I have not ordered MYLR yet, but thinking to order it soon before the price increases again.
The concern I have is about the build quality.
I'm seeing lot of comments about the build quality while taking up the delivery and also read online about Tesla's build quality issues.

Is this normal for Tesla? Considering the price at $55K?

Brand new Teslas in the junk yard. Too expensive to fix.

According to data from Copart and IAA, two of the U.S.'s largest salvage auction houses, of the 120 Model Ys listed in December 2022 and early January 2023, the majority had fewer than 10,000 miles on them, and all were from the model years 2022 and 2023. They originally retailed for anywhere between $60,000 to $80,000, making them high-end and lightly used vehicles.

The reason is because of Teslas' high repair costs. According to RepairPal, the average cost of both scheduled maintenance and unscheduled repairs of a Tesla is $832, compared to $652 across all car types. That means, on average, Teslas cost nearly one-third more to repair and maintain than all other cars. Repair costs would be even higher if the issue is due to a collision.

As a result, companies like State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, and Farmers are buying back totaled cars and auctioning them off, which is why you might see some pretty pricey Model Ys in junkyards.

Thanks....but nothing New here
Insurance companies like to total cars most of the time after accident
Insurance company totaled my Honda Accord after fender bender and gave me option to buy it off at half the price and get it fixed myself
They have their reasons to total cars after accidents and has nothing to do with brand of the vehicle
Assuming any name brand where parts can only be sourced from manufacturer will be expensive to fix, like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Range rover, Volvo and many more

Yeah, sure. Insurance companies LOVE to total cars. They are in business to give money away. Tell me more.

Yes, they have their reasons, when it costs more to fix then to replace, it is totaled. Pretty simple reason. And yes, it has everything to do with the brand. Is reading for comprehension still taught in school?

Tesla's maintenance cost is no where close to cars in it's price range

As for repairs, it's true if you have an accident but that's more of an insurance issue.

I have Tesla insurance in Texas and it's no more expensive than my other cars. It's actually cheaper. Also Tesla insurance is cheaper than other companies

Tesla insurance is only available in a few states.

My point is that Teslas are very expensive to repair and people buying one may want to consider this. Also provided a link with accurate information. Fact check it if you like.

What is your point?
