I have a model 3 and I’m considering moving forward with Tesla Solar. Anybody know if I can get $500 (250+250) off if I use my own referral code?
Anyone have success with it personally?

You aren't getting $500 off (or $250x2 off)... You're getting credit towards other purchases (e.g. their store).. As per:I have a model 3 and I’m considering moving forward with Tesla Solar. Anybody know if I can get $500 (250+250) off if I use my own referral code?

Are you sure that's how the 2020 solar referral award works? I was under the impression that under the new referral program it's a $250 check, and an image of one was posted recently in the investor thread:

Tesla phone rep told me this morning that it is indeed a check but only for the person who made the referral, not the new customer. That’s not what’s in the current description currently, but who knows!!?
I’m also surprised that self referring is allowed. When I casually mentioned adding a referral code to my yet to be placed order, the phone rep immediately said ‘are you referring yourself’.!Fascinating. Surely we can find someone on this forum who has completed an install with a self-referral in recent months. I would be happy with a $250 check; and really happy with a $250 check and $250 in Tesla Store credit. Those hoodies look comfy.
Honestly I'm surprised they allow self-referrals at all.
EDIT: To add a bit more conflicting information into the mix here's what electrek wrote when the referral program was revamped (not claiming electrek is always correct, however): Tesla reduces price of solar products, adds new referral incentive - Electrek
"Now the referrer gets $250 of Tesla credit, while the new buyer gets $250 off of their new Tesla solar system."

My system has turned on as of 08/07. I referred myself ($250 + $250). But, I haven't heard a peep on the referral yet.
I did receive an email from Tesla this morning (1 week post-PTO) that my referral has been processed and a check will be sent out in the next week.
I guess it can be thought of as a customer loyalty program at that point. In the grand scheme of things, what's $250-$500 when you're making a purchase upwards of $30,000?
wow. Did you have to follow up at all? I'm now 6 weeks post PTO and was told it can take up 60 days. I also haven't got one from 11/19 but that was done manually so I don't have much hope. I had them escalate the matter to "exec" CS so we'll see..
Ordered between January 17, 2020 and July 14, 2020 was $250 each.Interesting response from my advisor, but I'm not going to argue:
"Your referral is active on your order and you’ll be receiving a $400 rebate as this was a self referral."
