Do Tesla referral links still work?
Yes. Tesla's Refer and Earn program remains active, subject to Tesla's current regional terms and qualifying products.
Is there a place to type a referral code at checkout?
The normal process is to begin the purchase from a referral link. Tesla does not support adding the referral after the order has been placed.
Can a first-time buyer receive benefits?
Yes, when buying a qualifying Tesla product through a valid referral link and meeting Tesla's eligibility rules.
Do new inventory vehicles qualify?
Tesla says new inventory vehicles can qualify when purchased through a valid referral link. Pre-owned or Certified Pre-Owned vehicles do not qualify for Refer and Earn buyer benefits.
How many people can an owner refer?
Tesla currently allows up to 10 qualifying order referrals per calendar year and up to 30 demo-drive referrals over the life of the account.
What happens when the referrer hits the limit?
Tesla notes that if a referrer has reached the benefits limit, buyers placing an order through that link will not receive buyer benefits.
Do Tesla Credits expire?
Tesla Credits earned through Refer and Earn generally expire 12 months after the Grant Date. Regional exceptions can apply; Tesla's Canadian support page currently notes a special expiration rule for Ontario residents.
Can the program change?
Yes. Tesla's terms explicitly state that benefits and program availability are subject to change.
