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

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 question doesn't make sense. There are Fremont and Austin builds, no Palo Alto. Fremont builds have Matrix headlights and cargo cover, Austin typically don't.

Mudflaps and PPF are region specific and may come already installed or you may have to request after delivery. PSA: don't do the mobile install of the PPF as they do a crappy job.
Does tesla install the PPF and mud flaps for free if they didn't come pre-installed?

For all of you MY owners (new and old) out there that may want to load MP3 from your music library, here are the steps to do it while keeping a folder for your dashcam and clips.

In my case, I bought M.2 1TB and external case - links below.
  1. Connect the drive to your computer
  2. Look up and open Disk Management
  3. Right click on the drive and click "Delete Volume"
  4. Right click on the drive again and click "New Simple Volume"
  5. Click Next, then choose the volume size in MB. I chose 500,000 (a little more than half of the drive)
  6. Click Next on the Assign Drive Letter Path
  7. Make sure to format file system "exFAT" and name the Volume "TESLADRIVE". Then click NEXT
  8. Click "Finish"
  9. Repeat Step #4-7 for the other partition and name it "MUSIC"
  10. Go into the TESLADRIVE partition and create a folder "TeslaCam". Failure to set this folder will give you an error in your MY
  11. Start dumping your songs/music into the MUSIC partition
  12. Test the drive in your MYR, when choosing any of the music, there should be an icon "USB" that shows up as part of the available Media. Click on that and you'll see all of your music.
  13. Enjoy your music library!

Check with your Tesla Service center. They'll know whether it is in stock to them and therefore free to install for you.

Yes if you are in a qualified region. PNW (OR & WA) and Minnesota have been confirmed.

What's the best rate you are getting from Tower on Refi now? Looks like the 2.99 is gone. They are slow as crap in processing my app.

Tower raised their rates 2-3 weeks ago to rates that were too high. Gold Coast CU also got slammed and slow to process. Better off finding another CU.

Question, does it use the same usb port as the sentry mode drive?

Or can it use another one of the usb ports?

The steps above is for 1 drive with 2 partitions connected to the USB A in the glovebox - which is the "sentry mode" drive that comes with the car. You are upgrading the 128gb Telsa branded Samsung usb stick.

You can't use any of the other USB C ports as Tesla disabled the data transfer from the middle USB ports at some point last year I think. So only data transfer from the glove box. You could also try to put an USB A hub in the glovebox with 2 thumb drives.

If I remember correctly, you won't be able to view the agreement until Tesla receives the payment. I just picked up last night.
