Referral program

Tesla's referral program has changed over time. At the moment, you and anyone using your referral link can each earn 1,000 miles of free Supercharging with the purchase of a new Tesla car — designed to be some of the safest cars on the road. Each car referral also gives you a chance to win a Model Y monthly or Roadster supercar quarterly.

To use a referral code, you actually don't need a code. Just use your referral's personalized URL when placing your order online All Tesla owners have a referral code. It can be found in the Tesla mobile app in the “Loot Box.” If we have been helpful to you in any way, we'd be honored if you used our referral code http://ts.la/ignacio9266
