Tesla Referral Program

[NYEVDriver]

120 days after receiving the wrong rims (silver instead of Grey) look what finally arrived at my SC. I'm scheduled to have them installed on Tuesday September 5th. BTW these are from the referral program that ended on October 15th 2016. They include staggered Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and tire pressure sensors. I am glad I waited for the right color and appreciate those on the forum that encouraged me to have faith that Tesla will eventually come through. I will post pictures once the tires have been mounted.

Very nice rims!

Had a question about the change in the referral program in May. When they changed from the old program (Gigafactory tour tickets for first referral) to the new one (Radio Flyer Model S for first referral), the language in the release made it sound like people who had a referral in the old program would be eligible for both prizes.

There is also this thread on Reddit (linked below) which says that people are eligible for both even if the referral under the old program happened before the announcement of the new program. Can anyone else confirm whether this is the case? Have little kids and the Radio Flyer S would be awesome! Thanks!

You forgot to post the pic showing you in your Tesla jacket loading the Tesla duffel and Tesla suitcase into your Tesla.

Ha Ha... I don't take the Tesla to the airport. I take my BMW M5 ...i.e. "Station Car".

Not at all. Most people don't pay much attention to other people's luggage. And if someone else notices your Tesla luggage, it'll likely be another Tesla owner and you both can swap Tesla moments! The luggage is sharp, by the way.

And all I have to say, sucks to live in Virginia (or Ohio) where we are cut out, cut out I say!, from all of this.

Does anyone have the source or rationale for this exclusion? Must be state law but I've never seen the details.

Lookup "Bird-dogs" or "Bird-dogging" laws.

It looks like Virginia regulators interpreted the Referral program to formalize a salesperson role for customers, because they were getting rewarded in a small way.

Thanks, Bonnie, but still unclear. At some point owners got $1000 too? Currently, of course, owners get 'prizes' or points towards things like the new Roadster. So from that thread I read pages of, it sounds like we can still get prizes and not money (or at least that was the feeling in 2015...). Color me more confused.

Are we in Virginia in or out? Don't get why there would be a halfway. I would assume it's one way or the other.

Yes, the first program gave a $1k credit into your account, along with various prizes. But iirc, both Virginia and Ohio said that prizes were a form of compensation, too. You can thank state dealership associations for this outcome. They tried (and failed) the same shenanigans in California.

Complain to your state legislators. They are controlled by the local dealerships and they are to blame. Tesla would be happy to allow you to participate in the referral program. Get those laws changed!

Thanks for the info, as I thought, we are out of luck.

We barely got our second SC opened in Richmond here... and that was a knockout dragdown...

One of Elon's "secret weapons" to boost sales has been announced. Who's getting the first free Model X?

Musk Offers Model S Referral Program as Tesla’s First Incentive - Bloomberg Business

Its worth buying 10 cars with your code, getting a free one and selling the 10!

So, if everyone on here send me £100 I promise to pay it back when I get my free model X;-)

?? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but ten referrals doesn't get you a free X.

Ah. Yes, the very first person to reach ten was lucky to receive a new vehicle. Only the first, no one else who reached ten. And that opportunity was over a year or so ago.

I thought referral codes were tied to vehicles and not accounts?

I was hoping to get a new code for the S we just got, so I can aim for the arachnids. They're all batched though. Wrong information?
