Anyone dig in the source code to try to check on the referrals?

Ohh yes! Have a script going everyday. It looks like they still work. At least until Australia has February 1.

In Norway it changed to this:

It's about $500 in credit to the one that buys the car. Nice :) So it looks like it continuing.

Mine still works and I'm at 49%! So frustrating. I will take a backup of Top Tesla referrers from the Tesla referral program now. Just in case all goes to 0 in a couple of hours.

The app is showing the new program and Elon’s charger is still there! But it seems only the first friend gets $500 and it is still showing my 1 referral from the last program so I am assuming it is continuing??

Since only the first referral is receiving $500...a lot of us smaller people will actually have a chance to get one referral!

Looks like the new round is an extension of the old where your counter is not reset. We are in Phase 9C now. For example, if you already qualified for a Powerwall, you cannot get another one in this extension.

Yawn. I got to 4 referrals and stopped trying in Phase 9A seven months ago.

I was hoping for bigger changes and improvements, more clarity, and less confusing rules ( as Reeler pointed out). Still I'm thankful to Tesla continuing the program.

My only gripe is racing a semi and driving a boring machine are biased towards people closer to California. To do any of those things is a long haul from the East Coast.

Yep. The new $500 credit for your first person to use your referral is going to really hurt the big referrers like many of the YouTubers. Buyers are going to look for referral links from “the little people” that haven’t referred anyone yet that still show the $500 credit included. Great move on Tesla’s part if you ask me.

Yes, I think you're correct -- same phrasing as before, just with an updated end-date.

Related vehicle order must be placed between May 19, 2017 and April 30, 2018. Owners who reach each level of referral orders after September 28, 2017 will be eligible for updated vehicle awards above.

Our current counters don't reset, so two things (1) if we reached those award levels already, no additional wall chargers, mini-teslas, and (my prayers were answered) no more Arachnid wheels, etc. (2) On the flip side, we can continue to accrue discounts towards the Next Gen Roadster (much to my surprise!). I'm OK with that, and I think it's a good move.

It'd be nice if people looking for a code would click on the profile of somebody that either helped them out or posted something that helped them make their decision...

True. I've been around here since 2012 and have not gotten a single referral credit (well, almost one, but the guy backed out of the sale). Most of my friends and associates find the price of a Tesla a bit rich for them.

While that means almost everyone with a code should be able to get one referral, it will make it virtually impossible for them to get additional referrals. I bet they don't give away nearly as many Arachnids and Powerwalls this program. This does help "spread the wealth" but could limit nearly everyone to only 1 new or additional referral this program.
