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.

That's a very good price considering the cost of materials has gone up and will continue to go up because more EV are being purchased. So much cheaper compared to what Tesla charges.
That's awesome. Would you mind sharing some videos? I'm in TX and need some guidance.
I need to have an outdoor nema installed. THANKS!

I am the original poster for this flap. Glad you are enjoying it too.
It's a shame that the seller puts out confusing description which made it sounds incompatible with 23 Model Y. On the other hand we are getting good deal from his mistake lol.

I am still confused....There are 2 "color" options....one says "Model Y" and the other says "Model Y Upgrade"....pictures look different...which one should I order?

Your order was base with no upgrades correct
Mine is base order with no upgrades
Should be interesting to find out data points their system uses to process orders, one thing we all have learned is their system prioritizes 20" induction wheels
yes, all base no upgrades:

I received my VIN today with Est Delivery date of 2/28-3/5...
Since 2/8 delivery date is safe for the $7500 credit but there is only 1 time slot left and is very inconveinent. Wondering if I schedule on 3/1 ... is there any risk with the fed $7500.

Nobody knows this yet. In the worst case, you will be eligible for a 3750 credit

Edit: 3750 is not guaranteed either.

Hi Folks,

I wanted to clarify these 2 points below -

1. If I place a new order for MYLR today and the price goes down at the time of delivery, will tesla honor the lower price?
2. If I place a new order today and the price has increased at the time of delivery, will tesla force me to accept new 'higher' price? (of course, I can choose to forego my order fee and not buy the vehicle, I understand this)

I'm in a unique situation as I suddenly woke up and decided to go all in on solar and have sized the system for not one but two EV's!
I don't own a single EV but since my current ICE car lease expires next month, I do need to buy a car and I've chosen MYLR to be that car.
i don't qualify for any credits and i'm in no rush but at the same time, basic human tendencies are kicking in and I'm struggling to understand if today's MYLR prices are great or I should wait until next month to see if they may drop further (IRS tax credits may reduce which in turn, may force tesla to drop MSRP potentially).

I'm also looking at used MYLR's but the difference is not 'needle mover worthy'.

any suggestions?

Of course, the best case would've been to place the order last month when a basic MYLR was at the lowest price of $53K - if anyone in CA wants to transfer their registration, please DM (sorry, couldn't resist a plug).

Thanks in advance!

Tesla's practice so far is honoring the discounted price while not reflecting a price increase if you have not taken the delivery yet.

Ordered MYLR last week. But I see suddenly MY standard range in inventory with wheel upgrades at my location. Should I go for it over LR? It's 50 miles difference over LR model.

If the IRS announces the new regulations on the morning of March 1st and for whatever reason it disqualifies the Model Y then you would not get any of the $7500.

But again, this is assuming they announce on the morning of March 1st and the regulations are not in favor of the Model Y.

The "March" criteria should not be seen as a fact, the IRS announced that they are hoping to release the new EV guidelines by March…"by" being the key word. There were no promises or guarantees made that it would be in March at all. They could announce the new regulations whenever they want to because it would be "by" March. They could announce it tomorrow if they were ready and extend it because they are not ready. They could even extended their announcement till 2024 if they really wanted to. No one really knows, so better pick up your car asap…better safe than sorry.

depends on your needs.

The SR has less performance/acceleration obviously...and that gap gets bigger if you're someone who would've consider the boost option for the LR (and bigger still compared to the P of course)


For day to day local driving either should have plenty of range.

That said- for road trips there will be a difference- how much of one will depend how much past 250ish miles you're driving in a day, and if you'll have any way to charge at your destination. If you frequently take 500+ mile trips this may be a significant issue for you, though it's probably a minor one for most.
