How Tesla Referral Codes Work
Tesla referral codes are unique links tied to a Tesla owner’s account. When someone uses your referral link to purchase a Tesla (either a custom order or inventory vehicle), you both receive a referral reward—typically Tesla Credits or a 3-month Full Self‑Driving trial for the buyer, depending on the current referral program structure.
Can You Use a Tesla Referral Code on Inventory?
Yes, referral codes work on both custom-configured orders and inventory vehicles. When you click “Order Now” under the inventory section, the referral code in the URL is recognized at checkout. If the tracker shows "&referral=…" in the purchase URL, you’re all set to receive the benefit.
How to Get a Tesla Referral Code
- If you’re a Tesla owner: Log in to your Tesla account or app and visit the referral program section to copy your unique link.
- If you’re not: Ask a friend who owns a Tesla or use a code from a site like ReferATesla.ca—just make sure it’s a valid link.
How to Use a Tesla Referral Code
Before placing your order—whether for a custom model or inventory—you should:
- Click through the referral link (starting with
ts.la/
ortesla.com/referral/
or
tesla.com/en_ca/referral/
...
) - Proceed to configure or select your vehicle
- During checkout, ensure the referral acknowledgment banner or URL parameter confirms the code
- Place the order; referral rewards will be automatically applied if recognized
How to Share & Send a Tesla Referral Code
You can share your referral through:
- Direct link via email, text, WhatsApp or Messenger
- Social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit)
- Adding it into Tesla owner profiles or community forums (like r/TeslaMotors)
- Embedding your link in articles, blogs, or newsletters
Where to Enter a Tesla Referral Code
Referral codes are applied automatically when the link is used to start the order process. There's no separate field to paste a code—just start your purchase via the referral URL. If the code fails, refreshing the page or switching to an incognito window often helps.
What Does a Tesla Referral Code Do?
- For the referrer: Rewards you with Tesla Credits (or other program-specific credits) deposited to your Tesla account after delivery.
- For the buyer: Grants perks like a 3-month Full Self‑Driving trial (or other benefits, depending on promotion).
- These rewards vary by region and year; in Canada & U.S., there’s also a stackable $1,000 “Heroes Discount” for eligible buyers (military, first responders, teachers, students).
When to Use a Tesla Referral Code
Always use a referral code before you place an order. It can be used:
- On both custom and inventory vehicles
- Right before configuring or selecting your car
- Even if ordering later—it will still apply as long as the link is correctly tracked
Is Tesla Referral Only for New Vehicles?
Tesla referral codes are valid only on new vehicle purchases—including new inventory units. They do not apply to used vehicles or resale. They also work on qualifying solar or energy products in regions where that’s applicable.
How to Get Free Supercharging via Referral
While Tesla no longer widely offers free Supercharging as a referral reward, some past promotions have included mileage per referral (e.g. 1,000 miles). When available, such Supercharging credits are added to your Tesla account after vehicle delivery, but they’re rare in current programs. Always check referral terms for your region and year.
Final Thoughts
Tesla referral codes remain one of the easiest, guaranteed ways to save on a new Tesla purchase in 2025. Whether you’re buying a custom car or an inventory model, using a valid referral link ensures you and the referrer both get perks—Tesla Credits, FSD trials, and occasionally even Supercharging miles.
