Like others, I really don't understand your comment. Are you saying that people who can afford a Tesla make up elaborate stories about wanting to get a free award for using a referral code? Or elaborate stories that people make up to try and convince some future buyer to use their code to get a free Radio Flyer mini-Tesla?
Either way, it really doesn't matter. I don't care how rich you, or anyone else is, or what you think "rich" people can or can not afford, but $500 is the same $500 to you, me, and every other Tesla owner/buyer out there.
Just because someone might have (a lot) more money that you or other people does not diminish the value of $500. It's still $500 and you can buy a lot for that.
Yes, I've bought and owned two Model Ss already (as a lot of people here), and some owners have bought many more... why does that diminish the value of $500 to them, just because they might have more income or net worth?
In fact, the MORE that a "rich" person is concerned about $500 to me tells me that they are logical and understands the actual value of money. I'd never want to be the person that says "eh, I'm rich enough, I don't care about saving $500 for doing nothing"... because at that point, I'd have enough money to give away to needy people and organizations much more in need than me wanting a free Radio Flyer.
