Tesla referral code, checked against Tesla's own page

1. Open the link above before you configure anything.

   The code is the last part of a tesla.com/…/referral/ address. We point it at your country's store; check the store name under the code.

2. Check the page that opens.

   It should say “Order with [name]'s Referral” and show a benefit on the car you want. If it says the referral limit has been reached, that code gives you nothing — reload this page for another code.

3. Pick your car from that page.

   A custom order or a new inventory car both qualify under Tesla's terms. Pre-owned cars don't.

4. Place the order in the same visit, signed in to the account you'll keep.

   Tesla's terms tie benefits to a Tesla Account, and a referral link can't be added once the order exists.

Tesla's terms don't describe where the referral shows after you order. Take a screenshot of the referral page with your benefit on it before you order — it's the simplest proof if you need to ask Tesla later.

Stories about a Tesla advisor adding a code after the fact are individual accounts, not a policy, and the current terms say the opposite. If you've ordered but not taken delivery, you have two imperfect options — asking, or cancelling and re-ordering — and both have costs. What you can still do after ordering walks through them case by case.

Your code works in every Tesla store — the code stays the same and only the store part of the address changes. Once you transfer or remove every qualifying product from your account, Tesla says your link stops being valid. More detail, including the yearly limit and how to share it without breaking Tesla's rules, is in finding and sharing your own code.

The US terms say “pre-owned vehicles are not qualifying products”; the UK terms say “Certified Pre-Owned”. If a car is sold as a demo, ask whether Tesla is selling it to you as new or as used before you rely on a referral. Inventory, demo and used cars, store by store has the details, including which referral pages show an inventory shortcut.

The US terms are explicit: “Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive is eligible for loyalty benefits only and cannot be purchased to earn buyer or referrer benefits.” The Canadian referral page also showed 3 months of FSD (Supervised) on Cybertruck (Sep 25, 2026) but didn't name trims. The UK, Irish and German referral pages we checked showed no Cybertruck card at all.

Cybertruck's referral benefit has changed more than any other model's — it was $1,000 off as recently as March 2026. See the changelog.

The second one surprises people. Tesla's FAQ says: “If you have reached your referrer benefits limit, buyers who place their order using your referral link will not receive any buyer benefits.” Tesla's page tells you before you order — it reads “Referral Limit Has Been Reached” instead of “Order with [name]'s Referral”.

Every case, with what you can still do, is in why a referral didn't attach.

Tesla's referral terms describe referral links only. They say nothing about promo codes for cars, and there's no field in the car order to enter one. A referral also isn't a price cut in every store: in the US it's currently a Full Self-Driving trial, in the UK free Supercharging miles, in Australia and Japan money off. Tesla's terms add that benefits are “non-transferable and not redeemable for cash”.

US store: Tesla Credits, up to 10 order referrals per calendar year (plus up to 30 demo-drive referrals over the account's life), each expiring 12 months after the Grant Date. Tesla's US terms don't state the amount; the Tesla app shows it.

The referrer's reward shows as “pending” in their app until the Grant Date. Ohio and Virginia residents can get buyer benefits but not referrer benefits. Their reward and your benefit are separate items in Tesla's terms. Referrer rewards in detail.

Buying a second Tesla later? You won't get buyer benefits again, but Tesla's “loyalty benefits” may apply when you buy another qualifying product on the same account — up to 10 times over the account's life.

Here is what each store's referral page showed, on the date we read it. Stores not listed: we haven't verified them — check what Tesla's page shows before you order.

Model S and Model X dropped off the US referral page between the Mar 1 and Apr 1, 2026 captures; Tesla's US terms (updated Feb 24, 2026) list only Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck and solar panels as qualifying products. In Norway, both pages we captured were capped codes, so we couldn't read the benefit.

Two clauses matter if you try: benefits go to the primary account holder only, and buyer benefits only apply to the first qualifying product on that account. Neither tells you how Tesla treats a company buyer, so we won't guess.

One catch: Tesla's FAQ says that if you already own a qualifying Tesla energy product, “you cannot use a friend's referral link” — you get loyalty benefits instead. Note the terms list “solar panels” as the qualifying energy product, while the referral page card says “Solar Panels & Powerwall”; ask Tesla which applies before you rely on it for a Powerwall-only order.

Check the address bar says tesla.com before you sign in or pay. Never enter Tesla account details on any other site. This site is run independently, isn't Tesla, and the code's owner may earn Tesla credits if you order — who runs this site and how the referral relationship works.

Tesla's terms also say it won't honor referral links tied to “paid advertising, selling or paying or offering incentives”. We offer nothing in exchange for using a code.
