Ordering a Model 3 with a referral link
Model 3 is often Tesla's most affordable new vehicle and a common first-EV pick. For an overview of Model 3 itself, see the Model 3 page. This page focuses on how to use a referral link on a Model 3 order.
How the benefit typically attaches
If the referral link is used before checkout, Tesla usually attaches the current buyer benefit to your Tesla account automatically. There is no code to enter.
First-time EV buyer notes
- • The federal Clean Vehicle Credit for new EVs ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 - do not assume a 2026 Model 3 qualifies
- • Some state and utility programs still exist and are separate from any referral benefit
- • Home charging install costs can vary widely; check your utility for rebates
Common Model 3 referral mistakes
- • Ordering an ineligible trim or inventory unit
- • Not using the link on the same device and session as the order
- • Assuming a referral can be added after ordering
