Stranger things: The Tesla referral program granted me 1000 charging miles about 2 hours before the program was completely canceled. “Completely” as in, 4 days later when I emailed them to see if I was still going to get the miles, I got back an automated response saying that the Tesla Referral Program email address is no longer being monitored.”
Today I called up the Delivery Center where I picked up my car, to check again, as I had not seen any miles turn up in my “loot” box. The guy on the phone told me he could see that the 1000 miles had been ”applied” to my account. But he then said that in order to see the miles, I would have to look in the “glove box” of my account. But there wasn’t anything In my glove box besides documents and videos about my order and how to use the car. To double check I called the general Tesla customer support number (which routed me to the dealership nearest my residence) and asked the guy who answered to see if he could see the charging miles “applied” to my account. Yes, he could, but he told me they would not be found in my glove box, but in my “loot” box. His take was since the charging miles had only been “applied” to my account, there would be a waiting period involved before I would actually see them myself.
Then, a few hours later, just dinking around my account page, I clicked on the link titled “Charging”. At the top of that page, in unobtrusive lettering under the Charging” title, were the words, ”1,000 Free Supercharging Miles Remaining”. I am grateful, but I just wish everything was a little less mixed up…
