After giving away 80 free roadsters, thats $1.6million in lost revenue at least.
I tell anyone that will listen how great Tesla is, and I offer rides or drives. I know of a couple or three that have bought a Tesla afterwards. I never wanted any reward or recognition other than to watch the Tesla smile spread across their face as they floored it, and mine are not performance models.
Why is it that owners need rewards or recognition? These people are looking through an opening door, unaware of what is possible. That's reward enough. I have confidence in Tesla and I'm willing to help them spread their idea of the future. I've never used my "code" and I probably never will. I will continue to promote Tesla.
Best. Car. Ever. If you don't believe me, just ask!
First, I think you mean 16million of 'lost' revenue (80x$200k).
Second, I think you mean 20million, since the referral roadsters are $250k each.
But none of that is really valid, since very few of the referral Roadster winners would be buying one (or two) anyway.
So the only thing they're "losing" is the COGS+labor for each NGR they are giving away.
Finally, there's already a thread on this here: Tesla Referral Program To End As Base Model 3 Comes Online
Tesla is giving away over 80 new Roadsters for free, which might have killed the referral program
You're right, it was a far fetched idea. So glad i didn't come up with it.
just buy a tesla and refer yourself? the dream is aliveBummer. I has 1 referral away from 22" turbines. That dream is now gone
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Your math was wrong by a factor of 10. The assumption (whoever is making it) that Tesla would be losing the full value of the NGRs ($250k) is also wrong.
Yes, it's costing them money to fulfill all the awards. But each NGR doesn't cost Tesla $250k and the winners would most likely not be buying one if they hadn't won one, so there's also no lost revenue either.
