I was politely asked by TMC to stop referring buyers to new inventory cars on TMC because my Tesla links include my Tesla referral code that gives both buyer and referrer the 1000 mile Supercharger credit. Essentially TMC said only paying advertisers can post such links. I thought it was a benefit to the community to list these few new cars not yet listed elsewhere. I understand TMC wants to collect revenue from advertisers and they don’t benefit from me posting these new inventory Tesla cars. I’m certainly not running a business by posting links to new Tesla inventory so I’ll stop. For transparency here is their request to stop.
"We appreciate you sharing useful links to used Tesla's that you think may be of interest to the community, however we would ask that you in future please leave out referral links. Aside from approved Vendor posts by paying advertisers, the motivation behind TMC content posted by members should be educational, informative, and social in nature. As such, we ask that our members leave out referral codes, or references to any other commercial interests."
