That's a good point, didn't think about taxes. Have the awards so far been taxed?

Dang. Could you writeoff bribes as a business expense?

Hmm, I'm thinking of all the chargers i bought/will have to buy peopleI can't, but you can do whatever you want.
Those people who have 110 or 165 referals ,will they get 2 or 3 Roadsters or only ONE.Yes. And a couple of others. David has three
Cause all the referals are in one link.
I was actually joking as I just assumed the sales people would not be allowed to give someone a referral code to prevent bribery and exactly what I described. I have to say I'm a little shocked it's actually happening.

Ben Sullins (Teslanomics) with 113 referrals has confirmed with Tesla that he gets two.
Trust me, they give them out even if they aren't allowed to. I actually lost a referral because their advisor decided to put in another code, and couldn;t really do anything about it, which is why I suggest everyone with a referral code to order online
Elon spitballs these sorts of things and sometimes they happen and sometimes they don't. Taking Tesla private would be tough to do with the stock exploding like it is.
It probably wouldn't be the end of the incentive program. They still need to sell cars and their customers are their sales staff. They would be able to focus more on consistent quality without the end of the quarter push to make the numbers look better. It would also put all the shorts out of business.
Of course Elon speculating about taking the company private might be to push out more of the shorts. If the stock price goes higher, more will get burned.
Question for Hank since he seems to know everything....
last time i gave a referral prize away i just sent them the email link and they ordered it themselves (kids car) .... this time I am hopefully selling a set of wheels and there is only the notification on the phone app to order them (they don't send the emails anymore) ... I know i can send them to any service center but how do i set it up to tell the service center to install on their car instead of mine? especially when the service center is in another state... it seems also a little tricky on how to set up payment from the guy i am selling them to.. what is the best way to eliminate the risk for both parties... on a side note... the service center is in LA and I am in LA for work very frequently but would love to automate the process, collect the money and move on...
Any logistical advice would be greatly appreciated...

Maybe ask tesla if you can gift the wheels to a friend, and have him but a deposit down before you do that, then pay the rest of it

First, I do not know everything. If I did, I would have a ton of TSLA at 290 two weeks ago!!
Second, for the wheels, I've taken full payment in advance via PayPal. I think people see on TMC that I'm a pretty well known quantity, and I have a lot at stake if I were to start ripping people off so there's trust there. You could use escrow.com to reduce risk, too.
Third, once paid, I just put in the service center of the buyer's choice when filling out the survey, and send them screenshots of the process. When Tesla calls me that they are ready for install, I just tell the SC the name and VIN of the buyer, and then the buyer arranges free installation.
I do warn the buyers that the wait could be interminable. I sold a set six months ago that never showed up. Sent Tesla an email and they never recorded the survey response. So we're now back to waiting again. The buyers need A LOT of patience. Could be six weeks or six months.

yes. I did about 2 weeks ago. However, since I already have a Tesla wall charger I am looking at other options.
I'm sure this been asked and I thought the answer was a no in the past...
can I use my own referral code to get a P3?
I didn't see anything saying no and it seems like it works when I start to order

It works for an S or an X so I would think it would work for a P3 as well.

I have an AWD Model 3 on order and am at 4 referrals. I have confirmed the order before July 1st to get the free enhanced nav connectivity. I might convert the order to a Performance model if I could get another Powerwall through self referral with free supercharging being a bonus. I don't have a VIN assigned yet.
I've heard that you can't retroactively add referral codes for orders that originated before August 1st
