Tesla Referral Program

Elon also tweeted for current owners to come down to delivery centers and help deliver cars LOL.

Not unless there is a check involved.

More info here from Electrek... Elon Musk invites Tesla owners to come help ‘educate’ new buyers during ‘incredibly intense’ delivery week

I don't see anything official about this yet.. only the Electrek article which quotes "a source familiar with the matter".

Tesla brings back free Supercharging to inventory cars and Model 3 to help sell cars in end of quarter rush

Supposedly also good for non-P Model 3s.

Yea, nothing official. It’s just another thing Tesla decided to do on a whim. Just have to talk to an OA.

This is why betting against Tesla is a bad idea; few companies have customers this passionate. It is reminiscent of waiting in line for hours to get the new iPhone.

Ok I’m hoping to get some help from this group. I have arachnids that was supposed to be delivered last December. I’ve reached out to referal team and executive escalation almost monthly but have not gotten a response and still no tires.

I’ve tweeted Elon and no response.

I don’t know who I can call or what office to walk into to discuss this. Please if someone can point me in a right direction I would be grateful.

Have they got the right email address for you? They were using a misspelled [i.e. manually entered] copy of an email address that I hadn't used for 18 months (and had been correct on MyTesla in all that time) and supposedly "that never happens, everything is in sync". Car went in for service recently, I asked the service person to check it ... "That can't happen Sir" ... "That's strange" ... yeah, you guessed it, the "other database" still had my old, wrong, email address. Maybe the old address is back again already ... all I know for certain is that the Service Person thought they had corrected it.

But I've given up asking them "when" for Referral Swag, none of their dates have been any more accurate than Elon's promises ... and they are no more use than a Chocolate Teapot.

So we are, all, Elon's advertising agency and he's slow-paying us. What is the normal recourse for that?

Go on to your Tesla account and elevate it for executive review. That is the only way to get engagement unfortunately. Very sad state of affairs.

Maybe Elon should ask owners to volunteer at the referral program.

I'm hoping once the end of quarter rush is over perhaps we might see some pickup in getting referral awards sent out again.

I'm happy to carry his Camp Bed for him if he's planning on moving to the Back Office

Still Free Supercharging with TESLA inventory cars. Or just use for a $100 Supercharging credit with the purchase of a new Model S, Model X or Model 3 Performance.

Hope so. It's been this way for two days now.


Yup. And on multiple devices. I wouldn't be as concerned about it missing from the app if the referral link still worked, or if I still had the referral program in my account on the website.


Thanks, I'll give that email address a try. I did try the support form yesterday and haven't heard back yet, but I've found that to be less than helpful for another issue

I still don’t have access to the referral program in the app or on the website, and my referral link is still broken.

Sent an email to [email protected] a week ago and still haven’t heard anything. Not even an acknowledgement that my email was received. Last week the “executive care” team replied to the escalation I made through my account on the Tesla website, only to say that he saw I had written to the referral team and that they were the right people to handle this.

The Model 3 is the third new vehicle I have purchased from Tesla. For some reason I’m really getting the feeling that they are not going to bother resolving this for me, that they’ll refuse honor both the free supercharging and the referral prize I’m expecting, and that I’ll never be able to refer any future buyers. Ugh.

Referral team will get back to you, just expect about a 6 week delay before getting responses. That's been the running time roughly for me since I started emailing them back in May. They respond, answer questions etc, just suuupeeerrrrrr slowwwwwww.

Example: 2 weeks ago I got a response to a email sent the third week of July.

Thanks, that’s helpful to know, even though it kinda sucks.

If anyone wants to use a referral code, I'd be thrilled if you used mine.

If anyone needs a code, please let me know and I will pay you back in return.

Paying someone for the use of your referral is against Tesla's referral program good faith policy and you could be banned from the referral program. Just FYI. I'd be careful posting such a message.

He's not selling a referral code.

 

[Amit519]

He's not selling a referral code.

He is offering to "pay you back in return". To me, that is plain wrong, offering compensation for use of his referral code.
We could email Tesla referral program and get an answer.

Sure, to you that's wrong, and that's fine. But I'm just pointing out that offering a benefit for using a referral code is *NOT* selling a referral code. Just look on ebay for hundreds of examples of people trying to sell referral codes.

Now if offering a return for using a referral code fails the "good faith" clause, that's up for individual interpretation.
