Have been trying to submit a referral code since I ordered my Model Y more than a year ago. Was repeatedly told Y is not eligible. A few weeks ago, this changed but when I took delivery yesterday and tried again, was told that because I ordered early, I was excluded - and my tireless personal Tesla evangelist was too. Any thoughts about how to get Tesla to come to its senses about the idiocy of this situation?

I've asked multiple Tesla people and no dice. Asked via chat after placing my order, my first delivery rep, my second delivery rep, the supervisor of my delivery rep, my local delivery team (2 different people). All say no. The recently announced program is only for new orders, so those of us that placed orders before the announcement are out of luck. This isn't really about getting something for free but giving some recognition to the people out there promoting the product. I'm in a similar situation to aahann in that I wanted Tesla to recognize someone that helped promote their product and helped me to decide to buy it. Tesla is missing the mark on several things that would help promote the brand but it would seem right now all they are worried about is production and numbers of vehicles sold and not the happiness of their customer base. The day will come when all this will change when their competition grows and perhaps then we will see them pay more attention to us. We will just have to be happy with our cars and try to ignore this discrepancy for now.

Referral codes must always be entered when ordering. They are not something that can be added after. They are designed to be an incentive before...not a discount after ordering.
Received the following email today:
Thank you for contacting Tesla Referral Program. Your interest in our Referral Program is greatly appreciated. We have recently added Model Y to the Referral Program effective 6/9/2020. Model Y orders before 06/09/2020 do not qualify as referrals, and cannot receive free supercharging miles. We will not be retroactively adding referrals to existing orders. Orders for a Tesla car, solar panels and Solar Roof will need to be placed by accessing the Design Studio through your unique referral link for you both to earn referral awards. Note that referrals can't be added after an order is placed or at time of delivery and is not a code that is entered at time of purchase.
You can earn Referral awards by referring friends and family members who purchase Tesla products. Our goal is to make purchasing a Tesla through our referral ordering system as easy as possible by clicking a valid referral link provided by a friend or family member, then configuring and ordering your vehicle in one easy process.

I was also told that free supercharger miles expire in 6 months.
I found a sales rep that was willing (and one that wasn't) to add the referral after the fact, but noted that me and my influencer wouldn't eligible for the supercharger miles since we reside in Virginia and Virginia is excluded from the program for some reason. So I'm not sure if they actually every will add the referral since it has little to no value for me anyway.
From the sales rep:
"Must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for benefits and are non-transferable or redeemable for cash. The customer is responsible for all taxes and local requirements and fees. Program and awards are conditional on and subject to local laws and regulations. Unfortunately, Ohio and Virginia residents are not eligible for referral program awards."
