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)

So close to the finish line.

Order 1/17.

Delivery window March 1-3.

Asked to have it changed to 2/28 just to be safe via chat. No go. Received a call and a nice rep who walked me through remaining steps to complete b4 pickup. At the end of the call I asked her if she could reschedule to the 28th. She called delivery center and 5 min later I got a text with DD 2/28.

Pretty happy. Now I do not need to worry about any last minute changes to EV credit.


Plaid is a bit wonky. Does anyone know, is the final payment is pulled when you add your bank or do you have another step to authorize the payment after you add your bank?

I heard on other forums they don't really check at some places. Not sure how true it is in the bay area
Co-registrants have to accept the car in the app. Not sure how it works if they are not there or do not have the app and separate login.

PPF, front mud flaps and truck cover part of your order or paid extra for these?
PPF and mudflaps are free in some regions. I've seen PNW and Minnesota so far. I'm sure there are other regions.

You won't need to add your bank again. The plaid information is a saved payment until you remove it manually. I removed after everything settled.

To All:

Tower Federal Credit Unit car loan interest rate went up significantly today from 2.99% to 7.74% per https://www.towerfcu.org/borrow/loan-rates/. Please don't waste your time going through them unless you want a higher interest rate than Tesla at 5.44%.
LOL today. Tower raised the auto loan rates like almost 2 weeks ago on 2/9.

I verified with Tower loan officer, if you don't have Tower FCU account number yet, you can use the loan application number.

Anyone know where I can find my purchase order to send into Tower FCU? I only saw the order agreement and they said it was not the correct one.

You need to provide the Final Purchase Order agreement (includes sales tax, registration and licensing fees) from your Tesla account which you can find when you log in on the desktop platform which they will provide you when a VIN is assigned to your reservation. Has your reservation been assigned a VIN yet? If you haven't been assigned a VIN then the Initial purchase order agreement only includes the MSRP, destination fee and the $250 order fee which is insufficient for the auto loan.

Yes I got the VIN, desperately need this document to complete the loan from Tower. I been staring at my account on my desktop and still not see it.

They claim that unless you go with third party bank, it won't generate if you have Tesla finance. I was keeping the Tesla finance there just incase the Tower FCU don't pan out, but I guess i have to remove it.

Did you put the tower FCU information in the Tesla app for the financing. I think that's what you need to do in order for them to update the account generate the final order agreement

I am hearing so much about "Plaid". Can you tell me what is Plaid and how it works?
