In addition, the referral program is again extended.
It now runs through at least March 11, 2019.
But the bigger news is on the Supercharging front. Or rather, the length of free Supercharging.
If you order a Tesla Model S, X or 3 through referral without first taking a test drive, then you can get up to 9 months of free Supercharging. If you opt for the test drive first, then it’s just 6 months.
This may seem a bit odd, but in the case of the Tesla Model 3, there aren’t many test drive cars available. So, in essence, Tesla is saying here’s a perk for buying without driving. Or you could try to line up a test drive, but what’s the point? It seems anyone who drives the car buys it, so you might as well get that 3-month of extra free Supercharging perk.
You can find full details on the newest referral round in the release from Tesla below.
Referral Program
Tesla customers can give friends exclusive benefits on Model S, Model X, Model 3 and solar panels with their personal referral code.
Model S, Model X and Model 3: Six Months of Free Supercharging
Owners can give five friends six months of free Supercharging with the purchase of a new Model S, Model X or Model 3. If they order without ever having taken a test drive with us, they will receive an additional three months of free Supercharging. They will also have three calendar days after taking delivery to return their vehicle.
As a thank you, starting December 24, 2018, participating owners will be eligible to receive referral awards.

Good Faith
We introduce programs such as these in good faith and expect the same good faith in return. Please note that we may withhold awards where we believe customers are acting in bad faith or otherwise acting contrary to the intent of this program. To be clear, commercializing, advertising, publishing, mass distributing, selling or paying for use of referral codes is not appropriate, and we will not honor such codes. We cannot cover every nefarious scenario, nor will we attempt to, but we do promise to be fair and reasonable.
Not OK:
- Advertising
- Spam
- Anything misleading or annoying
- Social media bios
