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)

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.
