Tesla Referral Program

Thanks, but yes, I have checked. I also tried contacting Tesla numerous times - typical vague replies, along the lines of "yes, you are eligible" but no indication of deadlines.

I've had a handful of deliveries recently with no email or response to my emails. I'd also call that typical. My app does show that I've qualified for them at least.

Yes, it lists two entries, both saying:-
Founders Series Tesla Model S for Kid or Signature Black Wall Connector
Status: See email to select award

- this seems to imply that I should have been sent an e-mail (which I haven't). Trying to clarify this with Tesla is like repeatedly bashing your head against a brick wall. Telephone support reps - don't know anything and refer me to the referrals e-mail. I've tried this at least twice, and each time - after about a 2-3 week delay- I get a response along the lines that things are being processed - but no specifics.
Here is the latest e-mail I received, dated 1 January:
"Thank you for contacting Tesla, Inc. and we hope that this English email suits you well.
With regards to your request we would like to inform that are experiencing a small delay on the delivery of the referral e-mail but in the next few weeks you should most probably receive one from us.
We would like to remind you as well that we appreciate that you chose to drive a Tesla and not only but you also helped us to expand our market to more customer and for this we thank you.
If you have any additional question, please, do not hesitate to contact us back."
See what I mean about being vague? This is pretty much the same as the e-mail I received when I chased them up in December: "in a few weeks you should probably receive an e-mail". In a few weeks? Probably? Come on Tesla, just tell me what's happening for goodness sake!With regards to your request we would like to inform that are experiencing a small delay on the delivery of the referral e-mail but in the next few weeks you should most probably receive one from us.
We would like to remind you as well that we appreciate that you chose to drive a Tesla and not only but you also helped us to expand our market to more customer and for this we thank you.

I got my emails quickly, i even lost it on the mailbox for a month and then searched Tesla and found it there with a powerwall waiting for me.
Im also waiting for a response from the referral program or tesla sales person.
I will need a CHAdeMO adaptor in 30 days. I hope i can sort this out in less than that!
Finally got a response to an email I sent on 12/26 asking about my 3rd referral prize since I hadn’t received an email after my 3rd referral took delivery Nov 1st.
“I forwarded this information to have the survey sent out to you for completion. Please allow about a week to receive the email.”
Fingers crossed that I actually get the email this time

At least here in Australia, these reward programs take a loooong time to come out in the wash. Just when you think it's all come to nothing - bam! An email with your prize.
Slow but still great that we have the program at all.

Out of interest, how long, roughly? I've been waiting 10 weeks for my first referral e-mail. That seems rather longer than most of our North American friends.
does anyone know if the rumors are true about the end of this round of referral perks....
I heard that the new owners may not be offered free supercharging as an incentive? has anyone else heard the same?
If so someone should be using my remaining referrals before 1/31 LOL...

I've heard no such rumors. Tesla is getting millions of dollars of free advertising from it's free army of referring owners. I can't imagine them terminating the program. "Free Supercharging" doesn't really cost them much (as much as the $1000 discount did). If they don't offer free supercharging, they'll offer something a little different. And the perks are what keeps their free army working.

Now I'm curious what rumors you've heard?
I don't "know" anything for sure, that's just my assertions on the program.

It's just saying the current phase is ending. They will likely renew it in a different (or same) form after Jan 31st. It's just marketing to motivate people to buy now just in case the free supercharging ends on 1/31.
They spent a lot of time updating the mobile app to provide more referral information. I don't think that was just for one month.
They usually don't talk about the next program until the current one ends. They usually start a new program the day after one ends, but there was one time after the Model S refresh when there was no program for a few months. I suspect there will be no program for a while after the next big change to the Model S/X which is rumored to be coming soon.

Yeah my email took about 3 months. But I never chased them. Chasing them could push it through I guess.
