According to Grok
As of May 2025, Tesla’s referral program in the U.S. offers the following benefits for buyers and referrers when purchasing new Tesla vehicles using a referral link. Note that these benefits apply only to new vehicles, not used ones, and the referral link must be used at the time of order. The program is subject to change, and benefits are limited to 10 referrals per calendar year.
Buyer Benefits (using a referral link):
Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck:
- 3-month trial of Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised).
- No cash discounts are currently offered for any model.
Referrer Benefits (when someone uses their referral link):
All Models (Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck):
- $250 in Tesla Credits per successful referral, which can be used for Supercharging, software upgrades, merchandise, service payments, or a new vehicle purchase.
- Limited to 10 referrals per year, for a maximum of $2,500 in credits.
- Referrers also get a chance to win an invitation to an upcoming Tesla event.
Eligibility:
Buyers must be first-time Tesla product owners to qualify for referral benefits. Referrers must have a qualifying Tesla product in their account to earn credits. Referral links cannot be applied after an order is placed.
Regional Restrictions:
Ohio, Virginia, and British Columbia residents are not eligible for referrer benefits but can receive buyer and loyalty benefits.
Program Changes:
Tesla frequently updates its referral program. For example, in late 2024, buyers could get up to $2,000 off (Model S/X/Cybertruck) or $1,000 off (Model 3/Y), and referrers earned $1,000 per referral, but these were reduced in early 2025.
