I'm also waiting for this! Tried to mail them about it about 20 times but to no avail

I have received the jacket this May, in Shanghai.

From 2016? Wow! Not bad

If you have 5 referrals, is it true that you can't get the "secret levels" unlocked until they all have taken delivery?

I got my 5th referral today, yay! Except I was planning on using my own code for my 5th. (and before you all bury me with codes, I have local friends here who's codes I can use, but thanks.)

I wanted to use my own code for my 6th, because the 2 referrals that are still pending delivery on my account are people I met at gatherings, meet ups, etc. I worry that if one cancels I won't get the Powerwall, so I wanted some insurance and was going to order my Model X using my own code. Will the secret levels unlock for me before the 30th?

/edit. I should add, the one I got today I might be able to contact through the local store. How soon after you order your car do you get a referral code to give out? My other option would be to confirm they are going to take delivery, and use their code as a thank you for using my code in turn.

You can only unlock secert levels until all your first 5 deliverd.

Yes. With my name on it. Delayed about 1.5 year.

Speaking of secret level. 21 people with free Roadster now. And thats the ppl I have registered. It's probably more.

And the "SL" continues after Sep.16th.

Ben Sullins from the Teslanomics YouTube channel said he had enough referrals to get two Roadsters free.

Has anyone else noticed some changes with the new referral program?
1. My new referrals aren't being tallied up on my referral page (visible to others when they use my link).
2. New referrals only show the first name.

Maybe they are just changing things for privacy reasons? Things were the same as usual on 8/1 but seemed to have changed around 8/3.

Have not received any referrals since July 31., but will check when I do

Have you checked the referral dashboard? Or even MyTesla on the web?

Yes. And a couple of others. David has three

Yes, that's how I know I've gotten new referrals. They are showing up on my Tesla account page (first name only) and when viewing referrals in the app. They don't show up (don't increment the count) when people follow my referral link. They also aren't reflected on your site.

Also, I've seen them disappear a couple of times, only to show back up an hour later.

Very strange. Just spoke with a guy in Norway. He had a referral added today. Full name and incremented the counter. It was not a Model 3 Performance?

I don't know if it was for a Model 3 Performance or not. With only the first name, it's hard to know who the referrals came from.

Hmm.. will going private spell the end of the Referral Program?

Without needing to report to Wall Street, will Tesla want or need to continue pulling this demand lever?

 

[David99]

Dang how does one have 150 referrals? Who is that? Crazy!

What is the number you need to get a Roadster? Are they really giving away 20? That's a whole lot of them and considering they are worth $200k each.

Each roadster require around 5 million in sales, so i guess it isn't completely unreasonable (5% marketting cost, not to mention cost to build is less)

Also, for those of you reporting you can only see first name and count isn't updating on the public referrals page, I have the same problem with an order placed today

If I pay 50 Tesla sales people $1000 so they each use my referral code just once when selling a car, I would get a free Roaster valued at 200k. That's a decent return on an investment, right? LOL

Not gonna lie, I was actually thinking about this. Given the number of reps who give out, or in some cases force, a particular code would probably be open to this.

You'd get a free "Founder's Series" Roadster valued at $250k. But you'd have to pay federal and state income tax on that, and possibly sales tax (state dependent). So let's say that's 40% tax you have to pay out= $100,000. Plus the $55k you paid out in referral fees. You'd net less than $100k if you sold the car new. Or OTOH, you got a roadster at about a $100k discount for a $55k investment. The ROI is good, but not great.

Of course, that's assuming the referral program runs long enough for you to collect the required 55 referrals for the free Roadster. If say you only get 30 referrals, that's only 50% off $250k. You'd have to cough up $125k to buy it, pay the 40% tax on the other half, plus the $30k paid for referrals. The ROI is still positive, but again, not great.
