So there's not much reason for Tesla to offer high-value rewards for them anymore like they used to..
A 1,000 miles of Supercharge is hardly a high-value reward...

1000 miles in CA is worth about $120 converted in real world range on a 3AWD. Not much which makes it exceptionally petty for Tesla to make it expire
. Some people may have many referrals as well but the bigger point with a program like this is to INCENT people to refer a product
Companies today that know how to build long-term brand loyalty do this and Tesla thinks they can be lazy and foolish by resting on their present market position which is a loosing game long term.
I guess you missed the entire point. Tesla has a *sugar* reputation for CS and support and during a tie when people can't drive they are being petty as they always are
They may not have competition now but they will in time and people will remember
. Besides any good marketing person knows that good will gets return business
Even insurance companies are offering good will rebates even though people are stil driving.
I mean... no?
The 6 month thing has been the published guideline of the program for like a year now.
They're not doing anything different.
Except Elon said he'd actually EXTEND the deadline recently.
How's that petty, exactly?
No, they won't.
Remember how GM and Ford literally chose to kill people because it was cheaper than fixing safety defects?
People still buy their cars by millions.
Remember how VW lied and engaged in systemic fraud to their customers?
People still buy their cars by the millions.
I could go on for quite a while with such examples.
Consumers generally have VERY short memories.
Tesla continues to come in #1 in owner customer satisfaction year after year. And by a fairly large margin over most other brands.
Tesla Topped 1st Place in Consumer Reports Owner Satisfaction Survey
They continue- unlike most car brands- to have more demand than they have supply.
So again you seem to be inventing some consequences that aren't actually happening.
Including Teslas insurance company
Good to know you still have that crystal ball that is always 100% correct about al things Tesla including they will never have competition.
I’m not sure where your opinion that Tesla is being ‘petty’ is coming from. I, too, was unaware that the referral miles expired after a period of time. When I bought my M3 last May they had a special for 5000 miles for me and my friend who referred me. I’ve used a whopping 200 miles of SC since then so I’m gonna lose 4800 come the end of June. I had hoped to be able to use them for a long trip at some point in the future and now that’s gone. But who’s responsible for not knowing their policy that had been published? Us, not Tesla.Good to know you still have that crystal ball that is always 100% correct about al things Tesla including they will never have competition. My miles expired will Elon reinstate them? I won't hold my breath. Petty is the way they operate in general.
