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)

No it's not normal, mostly wheel needs to balanced.
I took it to Tesla service, One of the tire was out of balance. They rebalanced it free of charge, was told it is one time courtesy.

But I went to test drive yesterday the problem still not fixed, the steering wheel still vibrate when speed above 65. Do you think it could be alignment issue?

About the 7500 rebate— If i sell a property this year for $350k is it considered as an income? Do I get disqualified for the fed rebate? Anyone has insight in this? Thanks
350K is the sell price or earned revenue/income. You only reported earned money as income (that you pay tax on), not the selling amount. Then, add that property earned income to your other incomes.

MYP is little more than LR. You mean it will be delivered sooner than LR? Do you know if I can switch the model in a existing order?
You can still switch your order. Just be mindful that MYP ride quality is more sporty and suspension is more harsh, and it will cost you more in the long run - less efficient 10% less range, higher insurance costs, and more tire wear (probably the only maintenance you'll have on the car).

Only the appreciation part of the price is considered for income. You can also use last year's AGI for tax credit.

That's good to know. I will just stay as-is with MYLR.

It's better to start with changing the wheels and tires. Suspension, wheels, tires…costs really add up. I've never ridden the MYP myself so it may not even be an issue depending on who you are, but there are enough reports of MYP being a less comfortable of a ride to consider that difference.

I will say I took delivery last week of a MYLR with 19" wheels and the ride is tougher than my MSLR with 21" wheels, though the S has air suspension. Part of this might be just because things are brand new and the tires will "break in" a bit after some miles. It is most noticeably when driving through my neighborhood and we have good roads here.

I mean the car allows you to set the suspension comfort level to match the one of the regular Y. Obviously is not very sporty at that point

You'll likely only get half the credit, should have gone with the MYP n gambled for the full credit to offset it

It's a gamble either way as nobody knows when in march the guidance will be issued (or if it will exclude any version of the car from half the credit or not- though it would be the same for LR vs P in either case as they use the same batteries)

How does it do that? The Y does not have an adjustable suspension like the S/X.

Does anybody know if MYSR qualifies for a 7.5k tax credit after March since they are built in Austin (both battery and assembly)?

I reserved a MYLR early on but due to the long wait time (estimated delivery in mid March) I ended up buying a second hand Model Y. Can I sell this reservation and get my reservation cost back? If yes, is it an easy process? Any guidance is appreciated.
