Tesla has been manufacturing and selling pure-electric cars since 2008. By the year 2020 alone, the company had sold close to 500,000. Even with such sales, the company uses close to nothing on advertising and marketing. Instead, Tesla relies on word of mouth from contented and excited customers, bloggers, influencers, and of course, journalists to sell their cars.
The Tesla referral tool has come in handy in bringing new customers.
What’s the Tesla referral program?
With this program, the owner of the Tesla vehicle shares a unique referral code or link to prospective buyers. If the buyer uses the referral link or code to lease or purchase the Tesla models S, X, 3, and Y, the buyer and the referrer get a bonus.
The bonus varies over time, but the referral bonus is some free credit on supercharging-400kWh.
That means that when you use your phone or even walk there in-person and by using a referral link, you and the person who referred you get 1000 miles supercharging at Tesla supercharger stations around the world.
In addition, there’s also the cash reward for solar referrals, and you get into a draw, and you can win any of the Founder’s series like model Y and the Tesla Roadster. The Roadster getaways are held quarterly, while Model Y drawings are done monthly.
How do I find my Tesla referral code?
Owning a Tesla vehicle makes you eligible for the referral program, and you can refer new sales. If you haven’t received a referral code, you can write to them at refferalprogram@tesla.com. But check your Tesla app first on the ‘Loot Box.’ After you have your Tesla Referral Code, you can share it through the messaging app, social media, or email.
You can always check the bonus points you have in your account and the referrals.
Can I refer to myself?
Tesla has been obvious that if you own a Tesla car and probably want to buy another, you can use your code; thus, self-referral is valid. You can use it when upgrading to a new model or adding an extra car. Click your link and buy the car, then you’ve got the bonus.
Is the referral bonus the same?
The best way to confirm the current bonuses is to browse through the Tesla website. You may see various referral offers on the website, but the referral bonus is the same for referrers and owners. There’s no better referral code than the other- all are the same.
Can I use a referral code to order Cybertruck, model Y, or Roadster?
From June 15, 2020, it’s possible to order the above models through a referral code. Previously it was not. As new Tesla models enter the market, it’s expected that the company will expand the referral program to accommodate the new entrants.
Do the Bonus miles expire?
According to the company’s updated terms, the bonus miles expire six months after adding to your account. But there’s an exception for those who made referrals between March 21 and April 27, 2019. Bonuses earned during this period expire after three years.
If you’re thinking of owning a car or you want to add one to your yard, then Tesla is a perfect option. After owning one, you can use your referral code and enjoy the bonuses once you refer customers.
