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)

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?
Mine was not out of inventory. Mine was an order. I received the VIN. Then within maybe 2-3 days, I was sent another message to schedule delivery. It was quick in my case.

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?
Yes it's normal for tesla

You will not get perfect cars with fully aligned body panels, no gaps, perfect trim pieces, etc

Tesla isn't Lexus or Acura

Heck my Acura tl n Honda civic have less body panel misalignment compared to my MYLR and my friends MYP

For Mud Flaps, I got this set for $13.15. I think it is more or less the same as the more expensive listings.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6BXXCG1

This sellers for this listing kind of messed up by saying the color is "Model 3", which deterred me at first thinking it might be for Model 3. After comparing pictures of other listing claiming Model Y support, I convinced myself it is the same and should be compatible with MY.

Installed both the front and rear sets yesterday on my Austin built 2023 MYLR, fits perfectly.

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?
I got a reservation transferred from someone in this forum, the process is : First, the Registration sections in the Tesla account needs to be uncompleted, and then the other guy have to give you the Tesla account (change it to your email and password). You don't even need to meet, if you can trust each other.

Anyone know if you can switch from a loan with TowerCU to refinance after picking up your car and went through Wells Fargo first?

Basically I need to pick up the car using Tesla loan and then try to refi using TowerCU for 2.99%. I'm currently approved for 2.99 but don't have VIN yet
if I understand you correctly. Just wait till you get the VIN, then proceed with Tower. If Tower will reasonably help you, I don't see why it can't happen. Just schedule your delivery as far out as you can or course.

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?
The article says maintenance and repair

I am saying maintenance is not higher for cars in its price range. Have you seen the cost of maintenance for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus or even Acura?

I agreed the repair is costly but that's not a regular activity

Can I also change the color configuration if I need to and Will I get the old pricing before the price increases if this change is made?

That's good, are those purely abs plastic with the flap soft flexible or is rigid? The latter can easily get destroyed going over a bump.
