Tesla has launched a new referral program in the US that pays owners in Full Self-Driving (Supervised) instead of rewarding car sales. A referred owner gets one free month of FSD, and the referrer gets a free month or a $99 Tesla Credit if that person starts paying. At the same time, Tesla’s Refer and Earn terms no longer list any vehicle as a qualifying purchase for buyer or referrer rewards. Buy a Tesla with a friend’s code today and neither of you gets anything. more…

Tesla ends EV purchase referral rewards, shifts focus to growing FSD subscriptions | Mobile Web Tesla has effectively scrapped rewards tied to vehicle purchases in its U.S. referral programme and redesigned it to prioritise recruiting paid subscriptions for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. Referred users receive a one-month free trial, while referrers earn a one-month free trial or $99 in Tesla credits when the referral converts to a paid plan. Eligibility and payout timing vary by conditions and page guidance, and other referral benefits have also been reduced. - Writer Jinju Hong - publ
