At some point they should just say it is not happening and give us a different reward.

Since it has now been 2 years of waiting I sent another status request to their referral email. Got back a reply almost the same as the last time I checked.

Now 2.5 years so I sent them another email asking about it. Almost identical response.

3.5 years later it is finally happening. Just got this email.

"Our records show that you earned the chance to launch a photo into space under a previous Tesla Referral Program. After much anticipation, we are excited to begin your photo's journey to space. To participate, please submit your photo before June 30, 2022. Each referrer may submit one photo— choose wisely."

I got the email as well, although the link in the email currently leads to a 404 error.

Had not tried it yet. Just did and it loads a page for me.

It works if I use my phone. Seems to still generate the error on PC.

I can confirm it works on my phone, but only after I select United States as the region. I am located in Canada and that is the default location when I visit Tesla's website.

I confirm I cannot get it to work on my Windows computer, regardless of region setting.

Got a new email about this. Launch is next week! Very cool mosaic:

I wish they would mention what kind of orbit they are going into. Just curious how long the picture is staying up.

The Korean satellite on this mission is doing a lunar orbit.... so maybe a clue there.
