Tesla referral code: 2,000 km of free Supercharging

Order a new Tesla and you can take 2,000 km of free Supercharging with it. All it takes is starting the order through a referral link. The car does not cost a cent more — Tesla pays for the reward.

What you actually get from Tesla

The referral program pays both sides. You as the buyer get 2,000 km of free Supercharging. I as the referrer get the same. Tesla funds all of it — the price of the car, the financing and the options stay exactly as they were.

The kilometres land in your Tesla account after delivery and are spent automatically. You pull into a Supercharger, charge, and Tesla deducts the distance you drove from the credit. Nothing to activate, nothing to claim.

  • ✅ 2,000 km free for you, 2,000 km for me — the reward is not split.
  • ✅ Applies to Model 3 and Model Y in every trim, Performance included.
  • ⏳ The credit expires 12 months after it is granted.
  • ⚠️ The link has to be used before the order is placed. It cannot be added later.

How to use the referral link

It takes seconds, and it happens at the start rather than at the end. That is the one thing people get wrong.

01

Open the link

Click the button above. Tesla attaches the referral to your session before you configure anything.

02

Configure the car

Pick the model, paint, wheels, interior. Take your time — the referral stays attached.

03

Check the summary

Before you pay the order fee, a referral line appears in the order summary. If it is missing, go back through the link and start again.

04

Take delivery

After handover the kilometres show up in the Tesla app. Expect a few days, not minutes.

What the referral covers — and what it does not

This is where most of the disappointment comes from, so here it is straight. In Europe the program has shrunk to two models and to new cars only.

Covered

  • ✅ Tesla Model 3 — new, every trim
  • ✅ Tesla Model Y — new, every trim

Not covered

  • ✖ Model S and Model X — no longer in the European program
  • ✖ Used and inventory cars sold by Tesla
  • ✖ An order you have already placed
  • ✖ Powerwall, solar and accessories

What the free kilometres are actually worth

More useful than percentages: 2,000 km covers roughly two runs from Prague to the Adriatic and back, or three to four months of ordinary commuting. In money, at European Supercharger rates, it lands in the low hundreds of euros depending on where and when you charge.

The credit only works at Tesla Superchargers. It cannot be used for home charging or on third-party networks.

When the reward does not show up

?

I cannot see the referral in my order

That means it did not attach. Do not finish the order yet — open the referral link again, walk through the configurator from the start and check the summary. Turning off script blockers and avoiding private windows helps.

?

I have already placed the order

Officially a referral cannot be added retroactively. It is still worth contacting Tesla support or your advisor straight away, ideally before delivery — sometimes they fix it by hand, but you have no claim to it.

?

Nothing arrived after delivery

Give it a few days. The credit is granted with a delay after handover and appears in the Tesla app under rewards. If two weeks pass with nothing, contact support quoting your order number.

Tesla referral code — frequently asked questions

What is a Tesla referral code?
It is a personal link Tesla generates for every owner inside its app. When someone orders a new Tesla through it, both the buyer and the owner get a reward — in Europe, 2,000 km of free Supercharging. It used to be called a referral code; today it is a link that looks like ts.la/something.
How much do I get for using a referral link?
Ordering a new Model 3 or Model Y gets you 2,000 km of free Supercharging. The credit is valid for 12 months from the day it lands in your Tesla account.
Does using a referral link cost me anything?
No. The price of the car is the same with or without it. Tesla pays the reward, not the store and not the referrer, so it changes nothing about price, financing or delivery time.
Where do I enter the Tesla referral code?
You do not type it anywhere. You simply start the order by clicking the referral link and Tesla remembers the attribution. Before paying the order fee, check the order summary for the referral line.
Can a referral be added after ordering?
Officially no — the link has to be used before the order is placed. If you forgot, contact Tesla support immediately, ideally before you take delivery. They sometimes accommodate it, but it is not something to count on.
Does the referral link work on used or inventory Teslas?
No. In Europe the program only covers new Model 3 and Model Y ordered through the configurator. Tesla used cars and inventory vehicles are excluded.
Does it work on Model S and Model X?
Not in Europe any more. Tesla removed both from the referral program during 2026. Model 3 and Model Y remain.
Does the referral work with leasing?
With Tesla financing or leasing it usually does, because the order still goes through the same configurator. With third-party leasing, where the leasing company orders the car in its own name, there is usually no reward. Check with your advisor first.
How many people can I refer?
Tesla caps it at 10 completed referrals per calendar year and account. As a buyer this never affects you — the limit only applies to the referrer.
What can the free kilometres be spent on?
Tesla Supercharging only. They cannot be cashed out or moved to FSD, accessories or third-party networks. They are deducted automatically until they run out or expire.

Why I am showing you this page

Straight up: if you order through my link, I get the same 2,000 km you do. I run TesList and this is one of the things that pays for it. It costs you nothing extra, and the reward would be identical through anyone else — so it may as well be through someone who wrote you an honest guide to it.

Terms checked on 15 August 2026. Tesla changes them from time to time — have a look at the official wording before you order. Program terms on tesla.com

Still torn between new and used?

A fair question, and new is not always the better answer. TesList lists used Teslas with battery health pulled straight from the car — plus a price calculator that works out from live listings what a given car is actually worth today.

Ordering a new Tesla?

Open the configurator through the referral link and 2,000 km of free Supercharging comes with it. One click — and it only works now, right at the start.
