Can you get referral credits if you don't have a Tesla yet?

We've ordered a MYLR and picking up in a few days. In the meantime can I earn referral points? On the Tesla site it provides me a referral link, but want to make sure before I start asking people to use my code.

I think you should be able to, but this site is not affiliated directly with Tesla (its a fan site) and I nor any other volunteer moderator like me work for Tesla (neither do the site owners).

Teslas website about their current referral program is here:

Refer and Earn | Tesla Support

Share your referral link to earn credits when friends and family join the Tesla community. Learn more about referring friends, redeeming your credits for awards in the Tesla app and more.

I know, but it seems like something only a Tesla owner on here might know.

The site says “To be eligible to receive referral credits, you must have a qualifying Tesla product in your Tesla Account.”

Which I do, but it’s a reservation with a pickup date. I haven’t purchased it yet.

Reread the original post. If you have a referral code in the 'Refer and Earn' section of your account, you should be able to get referral credits.

Just checked my Tesla accounts; you need a product. I have an account without cars cause I ordered my '23 using the wrong account, then transferred it to my proper account. So even if you had a qualifying product at one time, referral code goes away once there are no qualifying products.

Huh. I have a code, so maybe it should work right? If I didn’t have the reservation then there would be no link. I’d assume if I did get credits then they’d remove them if I cancelled delivery.

I went on chat and after a few minutes the rep just said, “you can get credits when you order products.” And ended the chat. Yeah thanks. Other chat reps have been very good even checking inventory and such.

Tesla referrals seems to almost not exist anymore! To ensure remittance of an earned referral credit for a solar roof, I have asked my Project Advisor multiple times in writing, emailed [email protected] ("no longer monitored"), emailed [email protected] (also "no longer monitored"), emailed [email protected] (also "not monitored" wtf!!), and texted 510-422-0476 multiple times.

If anyone has a valid (in 2024) number to reach them, please post it.
