I have a referral link but don’t own a Tesla

[T-Will]

I don’t own a Tesla (yet), but when I login to my Tesla account I have a referral link available to use (possibly due to my Cybertruck reservation?).

Is it possible for a friend to use my referral link and that will credit me 1000 miles to use with a future Tesla purchase?

Yes you, just keep in mind the referral supercharger miles are valid for 6 months after your friend takes delivery. In some case you will need to follow up with Tesla if they dont show in your account

That's strange, my referral miles were valid for a year, not six months.

Tesla made that change some time last year, I dont remember the date I think it was June or something like that

Thanks for the replies!

Yes, to confirm, mine is 1 year as well from my delivery date. I referred myself.

One can used their own referral code?!

Yes, but you can not use the referral code you just got now for ordering a tesla to get any benefit for your current order.

People that "referred themselves" have referral codes from previously delivered tesla products. So if you have ordered (and had delivered) some other tesla product previously, you already would have a referral code and could self refer yourself.

if you just got a referral code (as the OP in this thread was talking about), you didnt have one before you ordered, and tesla will not go back and retroactively add your own referral code to your own order when you have not taken delivery of any tesla products at all yet.

TL ; DR, your referral code is active to refer others if you havent taken delivery yet, but you cant self refer yourself unless you have taken delivery of some tesla product or other (cars) or, alternatively, have ordered something through tesla energy.

THNX for the clarification!

no problem, looks like you are taking my advice and looking around, taking all this in . It can be a lot to take in, lol.

In my case, I created a Tesla Account first which created my referral code. Later when I ordered my first Tesla, I used that same code when I ordered mine and once that vehicle was delivered, I was awarded the 1,000 miles, good for 12 months.

I too created a Tesla acct. first. Ordered 14-50 cable.

When I got previous car in Dec of 2019 I got 12 months.

During pandemic is was extended.

In June 2020 I got another Tesla and it was 12 months but it was added and extended my date.

Then another referral I only got 6 months. And My date extended 6 months.

I've currently got 16,510 referral miles left and they don't expire until July 2023 so apparently I capped out on extensions at some point.

What I'll be curious on is if that only applies to remaining 510 miles from 2019 and the date will forward again once the 2019 are used, after the next 2021 referral, at some other point? I got a referral last week and the miles went up but the date remains capped.

At "some point" it has to extend again.

I got grandfathered into my Tesla account from Solar City lol.

Just found out that , here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Only the purchaser get 1500km, the referral guy get nothing!

Wow.. I thought I was the only one... I wish I saw this thread earlier! I was a Model 3 reservation holder since day 1, and it was only in February when I decided to log in and get my reservation refunded (since I'd decided I wouldn't be able to afford one in the near future) when I saw the referral code. Not much point in using it, of course, without a car.

The code was still there after the reservation was refunded, also strange.

Of course things change and the recent price drop in Australia (among other things) resulted in me placing an order last weekend ... but there are no superchargers in my state so the benefit of referring people is still questionable! I better start planning those interstate trips...
