Receive $1,000 off or 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) when you purchase a new Tesla using our referral code.
Tesla's referral program is one of the most generous in the automotive industry. Here's why you should never buy a Tesla without using a referral code.
Save $1,000 cash on premium models or receive 3 months of Full Self-Driving (valued at $3,000) on Model 3 and Model Y. These benefits apply automatically at checkout when you use referral code richard13954—no coupons, no hassle, no strings attached.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) represents Tesla's most advanced driver assistance technology. With navigate on autopilot, auto lane change, autopark, summon, and traffic light/stop sign control, you'll experience the future of driving. The 3-month trial lets you test features that normally cost $99/month.
Using a referral code costs you nothing extra. Tesla provides these benefits to reward community engagement and word-of-mouth marketing. Whether you know a Tesla owner personally or use our code, the benefits are identical—so why leave money on the table?
Tesla frequently adjusts its referral program based on demand and business objectives. The current November 2025 benefits are generous, but there's no guarantee they'll remain this good. Previous iterations offered less value, and future changes could reduce benefits further. Secure your savings now while the program is active.
The Problem: Once you place your Tesla order, you CANNOT add a referral code retroactively. Tesla's system locks in your order details, and customer service cannot add codes after the fact.
✓ Solution: Always click through a referral link BEFORE configuring your Tesla. Use our link: tesla.com/referral/richard13954
The Problem: Referral codes from inactive Tesla owners or old forum posts may not work. You won't know until after you've ordered—by which point it's too late.
✓ Solution: Use verified, active codes like richard13954. Our code is guaranteed active and monitored daily.
The Problem: Browser issues, ad blockers, or incognito mode can prevent referral codes from applying correctly. Some buyers assume the code worked without checking.
✓ Solution: Before finalizing, check your order summary for the discount or FSD trial. Look for "referral=richard13954" in the URL. If missing, restart your order through the referral link.
The Problem: Tesla's referral program has changed multiple times. Information from 2023 or early 2024 may no longer be accurate. Some sources still mention benefits that have expired.
✓ Solution: This page is updated regularly with current November 2025 benefits. Always verify with Tesla's official site or use our verified code for guaranteed accuracy.
