@wqu06 ... Since it seems that nobody else received this email... What is your broadly distributed channel??
Whether or not it's what corporate wanted, my understanding was that if you ordered through an Owner Advisor and didn't have a referral link, they would find you one. Perhaps Bjorn's (lol). (And I'm joking.)I can see why Tesla has made this move and wants referrals to have a personal touch...to be used among friends not the public at large. Otherwise Tesla could unilaterally give a $1000 off on anyone's online purchase...or just publish a $1000 "coupon" on their website for anyone to use; that's more or less what people are doing by posting codes everywhere for essentially strangers to take advantage of. Just don't think it's the personal touch Tesla wants to foster and it's their program to manage.

That would be interesting. Would that/it get you FUS now?They may have some dummy referral links they use that aren't tied to anybody's car.
When I was in the ordering process, my OA said if I didn't have a referral she'd give me one from one of her former customers and also offered to do the same with my referral once I purchased.
Just got this e-mail and wasn't sure if this is new or an already existing policy:
Hi xxx, Thank you for your participation in the Tesla Referral Program. Every referral you make helps to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, and we appreciate your support. The intent of the program is to provide owners with something special to give to their friends. As such, commercializing, advertising, publishing, mass distributing, or selling referral codes is not appropriate. We kindly ask that you remove your code from any broadly distributed channels. We will be deactivating any referral codes which do not comply with these guidelines. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Best Regards, The Tesla Team"
Does this mean you can't advertise it on YT or put it in your signature on TMC?
I'm certain there is a group of potential customers how don't know any Tesla owners. Since mass distributing of referral links is forbidden, how can they get one? Why does Tesla punish them?
All of that sounds eminently sensible. As opposed to the 'friends and family' language which seems like way too far in the other direction. The 'Now You Know' folks said something like it yesterday, talking about how 'everyone we talk about Teslas with is a member of our family' and they weren't broadcasting their code on stickers on their cars, and the like. Okay, fine, if that works. But Tesla sure sounded like they meant in the 'Amazon Prime' sharing sense, where you are supposed to be in the same household. Lol...Come to a forum like this and PM someone. Pick someone randomly or preferably pick someone you credit for being helpful to you and others. Watch a YouTube video and if you liked it, found it useful in helping you make a decision to buy, contact the person directly. Messages in direct person to person emails, private messages, Facebook messages, etc. is not considered a broadly distributed channel.
I don't think Tesla is saying you have to know the person intimately. Someone earlier in the thread made a good point, if they wanted to just give $1,000 off, they could just do that from Tesla.com.
