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)

Finally got assigned my vin number. At this stage I am not sure what I want to do since I had 3 pre-approval expire and had GCFCU take almost a month with my membership which now I have to send over my paperwork to finish the loan processing.

When is your EDD? Mind as well try with GCFCU. Potential 2.49% is hard to beat so I think worse case is that you have to do Tesla financing and then refi with GCFCU. I would just stress to them how urgent it is to complete the loan and see if you can get a direct loan agent to work with you.

While waiting on the car to come in, I've been cross shopping the EV6, Mach E and ID4. Putting aside the differences, it's notable that the lower trim Mach E seem to sell well based on the limited inventory and what I've seen move through inventory - there are only 6 or 7 within 50 miles of Tampa and those are mostly the higher priced GT trim around $65k-$70k. Dealers are selling at sticker plus their gouging fees.

The ID4 seems to be moving slower even though it gets the tax credit. I emailed one dealer who came back with a discount of $4k from sticker on the ID4 - another was taking only $1k off. There are 11 ID4's available in the same 50 miles radius.

Meanwhile, the EV6 are piling up at local dealers since losing the tax credit and Tesla dropping their prices. In the same 50 mile radius there are 49 EV6 available. I remember when I couldn't even find one to look at the wasn't sold a few months back. But these local dealer aren't discounting them yet. Have to say that I like the EV6 more than the Mach E and ID4.

We're on very close paths lol.

I got my vin assigned a few days ago
EDD is 3/15-3/22.

Nothing from GCFCU.
Someone else in this thread suggested another CU in NY. Will be looking into them in next day or two.

Also insurance.
No Tesla insurance in NY.
Geico wants 1800 for 6 months as a direct replacement for my current SUV with same coverage everything that I was just paying $1,000 every 6 months for. In December Geico bumped me from 620 every 6 months to a 1000 because of increasing cost of automotive labor and material. So essentially in the last 3 months I'm going from 600 to 1800.
Crazy.

ID4 with $4k off plus free charging with EA seems the best deal if you get qualified for tax credit

Thanks for sharing the auto insurance angle to buying this Tesla MY! I'll have to check for insurance in my area and see how much my current provider (also Geico) quotes me! Thanks.

Shop around. Progressive is the cheapest to insure the Model Y, and a close second is State Farm. For the Model 3, State Farm is cheapest, and close second is Progressive. USAA is third for both the 3 and Y.

Geico is at the most expensive end to insure a Tesla, and Model Y specifically. Only Ameriprise and Amica are more expensive. While Geico might have okay rates for combustion cars, for EV they are sky high.

Get quotes from Progressive and State Farm, and if you qualify for USAA then a quote from them.

Already got state farm - just filled out questionnaire 10 mins ago.
1300 ish $500 less than Geico at 1800.

Was looking into Amica now.
Edit: Amica came out to $1600.

Will check progressive now.
Edit 2: website said error we wont insure your vehicle for new business? wth? attached screenshot
Edit 3: called Progressive they are not writing Tesla's up for new insurance in NY bummer. It's certain models in certain states. Apparently Ohio is not writing certain Kia model under progressive (shrug).


Will check other companies as well.

Thanks!!

Anyone here applied with Tower and had their loan status change to Cfio? Was anyone able to get the loan status everted and funded?

It's just unbelievable that they approved my membership just days before the loan 30 day pre approval expired.

I would just look at Tesla-info like a hawk and grab whichever MYLR comes up in-inventory.

A friend of a friend drove from Seattle to Bend OR to grab his MYLR. I lucked out and grabbed mine on the day IRS announced all MY qualified (no more $55k threshold for 5-seater).

They changed rates, have gone up significantly since.

Some people had pre-approvals at older great rates but only for 30 days.

Yeah, I tried to like it since it would be about $5k less OTD for me. Did two test drives but the system UI was not good and VW doesn't seem to be putting an effort into updating it. The tech just seems underbaked compared to all the others.

The EV6 was more impressive - I could see why folks wanted that before Tesla dropped prices and the tax credit eligibility flipped from Kia to Tesla. Now the EV6 is the same OTD for me but without the tax credit.
