BC and (new) Referral Program

[Mod3forMe]

In theory I should still have free referral supercharging. I don’t trust it, so I removed the credit card from my file. Supercharging still works and obviously my credit card is not getting charged.

I would suggest this to anyone as it easy to force them to try and chase you for money if they are not going to honour your free supercharging then it is for you to chase Tesla for a refund.

I read somewhere a long while ago that when your account is USD$50 in arrears they'd disable your SuperCharging until you pay up. My point is they may not chase you at all.

I referred someone in June and received my 7500km. Went on a road trip and used about 2k. Then like all the other referrers I lost my remaining km. I haven't supercharged since July. Had a weird refund from Tesla saying they had a billing error of 134km and would return it to my account. They ended up giving me 1 dollar something which doesn't even equal 134km but whatever.

Supercharged last night for 26kW ($7.21) but was surprised that I didn't get charged. Car says 0 and my account says 0.

Will try supercharging again soon and see if I get billed... Has anyone else had this happen?

Most who lost their referral mileage and gained it back, your mileage expires this month

Mine is expired Jan 17th but still shows in the app

I’m on the same boat. Credit is expiring this month but no idea exactly when. Still shown on my app thou. How do you find out the exact date of expiring?

 

[scramies]

OK if I was to place a bet on this, and the way my TSLA stock is going I'm on a roll, I don't think these referral miles will expire. I have never seen an expiry date for the 7500km, either in the apps loot box or on the Tesla web site where you are able to track kWh(s) remaining. I picked up the car late May19 so am well over the 6 month so called expired date. It has worked our rather well, used 5000km in June and when the miles were reloaded in mid July I was back up to 7500km. To this point in time have used 9500km free supercharging and still have 4500 in the loot box...

I am hoping for the best, I have 2 referrals from last year , both in June so theoretically I have 12 months and 15000 km.

I don’t supercharge often but am going on vacation and hope to have it still at 13 months

Fingers crossed!

Both will have the same expiration date from the latest referral (unless BC is different).

@JavaWatt are you still not getting billed for supercharging?

 

[jjvan]

Has anyone here moved or changed residency from BC to another province (like AB) and then received the referral bonuses? How do you inform Tesla that you are now eligible for the referral awards?

People I'm taking up the gauntlet and seeing how far I can go with the VSA on this item, i the meantime please everyone sign the petition: Sponsor Transportation Minister: Remove BCs "Bird Dogging" Laws for EVs to support a sustainable transportation future

Hey all. Sorry just stumbled upon this thread after @softcoder revived it a couple of hours ago. (Thank you for taking up the crusade, I'm going to sign right after posting this.)

I'm in the Vancouver area and am planning to order a MY in 2-3 weeks and didn't realize the referral codes aren't available to BC residents. That's really disappointing!

 

[softcoder]

To clear it up buyers get the credit, not the other person who referred you. This is so silly, many people use referral links for amazon products and pretty much everything else in this online world. This rule does nothing but show prejudice against BC residents and accomplishes nothing except act as an essential target against Tesla owners as it gives no incentive to tell your friends about the cars. Something legacy auto clearly loves as it does not affect them in any way.

Youtubers around the world talk about Tesla get the awards but not if you live in BC? Thats simple retarded.

 

[angus[Y]oung]

Thanks @softcoder. So, in other words, I should just pick a favourite Tesla-related YouTuber and use their referral code, since nobody locally would benefit from referring me. Good to know.

 

[dpotvin]

Someone I know used my referral in BC and I got the free miles. Not sure what you guys mean by not getting it?

 

[softcoder]

The buyers gets km, the referrer (non buyer) if a BC resident (having a BC address in tesla Account) does not get anything.

Not true, just referred my buddy, took delivery last week and we both got 1500kms

 

[angus[Y]oung]

Hmmm, so, maybe this is already fixed?
