Referral bonus just increased to 5000 miles?!

Just clarifying on how this 5,000 miles of free supercharging works... it’s based on how many miles or range you charge up to at each session, until you reach a cumulative 5,000 miles of charging, correct?

I've wondered the same thing. I just assumed they take the rated range of the car and multiply by 5000 miles to determine the number of kWh you get.
Also, it's only good for 6 months from activation. Each referral extends that by 6 months.

I saw that exact same screen shot on my Tesla app, but I assumed that is was general advertising about the 5,000 mile bonus. But, in actuality, that's the actual number of free supercharging miles I have left?

Yeah, it says "miles remaining"
Mine says 4,200 or so. Nice that I happened to snag my one and only referral during this promo period On a different note, it's struck a few folks as if this means that your 5,000 mile balance will become 1,000 miles when it expires. I don't believe that's the case as it doesn't make any sense, but the word "revert" seems to trip some folks up. Anyone got their interpretations on that? To me, it means that the reward goes back to +1000mi, but of course your balance will be untouched...

...and is there a 6 month expiration on this (regardless of remaining 'miles'), as I've read somewhere on this thread/post?

Yep 6 month expiration date. Wish they would display it, but just assume it means 6 months from the date you received the miles in your loot box account.
Each additional referral EXTENDS the expiration date 6 months.
Also yes the bonus structure reverts back to 1K at end of May. Any of your existing bonus miles will remain in your loot box account. But referrals after May will only receive 1K instead of 5K.

yeah man, the referral program team is like few people. their computer system has synch issues. happened to me and I have been asking them regarding the issues for the last 4 weeks. and still not resolved
they still have not complete the drawing for May 1st Model Y raffle. not sure how they planning on executing this.. my guess is that they are going to wait until July 1st and back draw for June 1st and May 1st since literally it's only 5 weeks away and I doubt they can get their act together by then to do a fair drawing and have all these sync issues/discrepancy accounted for
so... what gives. not sure if one can rely on Tesla counting the free charging miles for you that you are relying on for your Tesla without free lifetime supercharging

How odd. Did all of those people place the order for their car after the bonus was increased to 5,000 miles?

Yeah 4 of them actually after 4/28. So should be 20K miles
2 others were before so should be 3K miles.
Of all 6, I only got credit for 2. Their referral system is so messed up. Bleh
