Program updates
Changes to Tesla's referral program in any country, and model, trim or ordering changes that change what a referral applies to. Newest event first.
Every update names the date the change happened or was first seen, which countries it touches, and the source behind it — a dated copy of Tesla's own page where one exists, otherwise the publication that reported it. The changelog stays the short record; an update is the explanation, and the two link to each other.
October 2026
Tesla updated the Model 3 in Canada after you ordered. Is your referral still on the order?
Canadian Model 3s got a 16-inch screen and black headliner on Oct 8, 2026, with no price change; pending orders get the update.
Do the FSD months from a Tesla referral count toward Lemonade's FSD insurance discount?
Lemonade now takes 30% off FSD v14 Lite miles on HW3 Teslas in Arizona, Colorado and Tennessee. Whether referral FSD months count isn't stated; ask Lemonade.
Slovakia is about to allow Tesla FSD. Is there a Tesla referral code for Slovakia?
Slovakia announced it will recognize the Dutch FSD (Supervised) approval (Oct 8, 2026). That's a road-rules change, not a referral; we know of no Slovak referral page.
FSD is “Tesla Assisted Driving” in Europe now. Does a European referral include it?
Tesla renamed FSD (Supervised) Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe; Czechia, Croatia and Slovenia approved it in September. European referral pages still showed 1,000 km.
Tesla Australia's inventory discount runs to Dec 31. Does a referral stack on top?
Tesla Australia cut up to A$3,100 off eligible in-stock Model 3 and Model Y to Dec 31, 2026 (reported Oct 6). Only the price summary shows if a referral stacks.
Does a Tesla referral in Australia or New Zealand apply to the new entry Model 3 RWD?
A new A$45,900 / NZ$54,900 Model 3 RWD went on sale Oct 1, 2026. Australia's referral page showed one Model 3 card on Oct 4; it names no trims.
September 2026
Tesla referral figures across Asia-Pacific in 2026: what held, what moved
Nine Asia-Pacific referral pages, Jan–Oct 2026: figures held in every country, Thailand and Malaysia added a Model Y figure, and most countries still show none on Model Y.
Can you get Canada's EVAP rebate and a Tesla referral benefit on the same Model Y?
The 2026 Model Y RWD is the only Tesla eligible for Canada's EVAP rebate. Tesla's referral benefit is separate: FSD time, set by Tesla's referral page.
Denmark's 2027 registration tax: does a Tesla referral change what you pay?
Denmark's government proposes letting EV registration tax rise from Jan 1, 2027. The Danish referral gives 1,000 km of Supercharging — it doesn't offset the tax.
Does a Tesla referral in Canada come with free Supercharging?
Canada's referral page showed 3 months of FSD (Supervised), not Supercharging, on Sep 25, 2026; Supercharger prices moved again on Sep 24.
You own a Powerwall 2 and want to add a Powerwall 3. Can you use a friend's referral link?
Powerwall 2 owners in North America and Australia can add a 13.5 kWh Powerwall 3 since Sep 22, 2026. A friend's referral link likely gives them no buyer benefit.
Can you use a Tesla referral code on a Roadster reservation?
Roadster reservations reopened with a $50,000 refundable deposit. The Roadster isn't on Tesla's US referral page (Oct 3, 2026) or in its qualifying-product list.
Does a Tesla referral work on the six-seat Model Y L in the US?
US Model Y L deliveries begin as new Launch Series orders show Jan–Feb 2027. The US referral page shows one Model Y card; check your order summary for the referral line.
Does a Tesla referral lower the catalogue value your Dutch bijtelling is based on?
Dutch EV bijtelling goes to 20% on the first €30,000 of catalogue value in 2027. The Dutch referral benefit is 1,000 km of Supercharging, not money off the car.
August 2026
Does a Tesla referral in Hong Kong cover the new Model 3 RWD?
A HK$205,000 Model 3 RWD reached Hong Kong (reported Aug 31, 2026). Hong Kong's terms name Model 3 for buyer benefits; check the card for this trim before ordering.
Model 3 delivery estimates slid into 2027 — here's what that means for a referral on your order
Late Aug 2026 reports put Canadian Model 3 and US Model 3 RWD deliveries in Dec 2026–Mar 2027. The referral attaches at order; benefits are granted at delivery.
The Cybertruck got $5,000 more expensive. Does a referral still apply?
US Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD and Premium AWD rose $5,000 on Aug 24, 2026. The referral still covers Premium AWD and Cyberbeast only.
Tesla dropped Solar Roof. What can a referral still be used on at home?
Electrek reported Tesla discontinued Solar Roof tiles on Aug 20, 2026. US referral terms list Tesla-installed solar panels, not Solar Roof, as qualifying.
Tesla's referral program reached India: ₹22,000 off a Model Y
India joined Tesla Refer and Earn in Aug 2026. Tesla's en_in page (Sep 29 copy) shows up to ₹22,000 off a new Tesla, on a single Model Y card.
May 2026
Europe's 2,000 km referral was a short campaign — Tesla's German page is back to 1,000 km
Tesla's German referral page showed 2,000 free Supercharging km on Apr 24, 2026 and 1,000 km by May 21 — still 1,000 km on Oct 1, 2026.
Model S and Model X on Tesla referral pages: when each country dropped them, and what's left
Model S and X left the US referral page by Apr 1, 2026 and the UK and German pages on Jun 16; production ended around May 9–10. Taiwan still listed them with a benefit in July.
February 2026
The “$500 off with FSD purchase” choice is gone from US and Canadian referral cards
Model 3/Y referral cards in the US and Canada dropped the “$500 off (C$650) with FSD (Supervised) purchase” choice in Feb 2026. Only the 3-month FSD trial remains.
