Before you order a Tesla: 5 things to check
A short list to run through before you click "Place Order" so a referral benefit and any state or utility incentives are not lost.
1. Confirm the product and trim are eligible
Tesla's current referral terms specify which vehicles, trims, and Solar products qualify. Some inventory or discounted trims are excluded. Check Tesla's official Refer and Earn page for the current list.
2. Use the referral link before checkout
Click the link first, then configure and order in the same session. A referral cannot be added after the order is placed.
3. Verify the benefit shows in your Tesla account
At checkout and again in your Tesla account after the order, look for a referral or reward line. If it is missing, contact Tesla support before delivery.
4. Check state, local, and utility incentives
Referral benefits are separate from any state, local, or utility incentive. Some programs have deadlines or paperwork that must be completed before or shortly after ordering. See the incentives overview.
5. Understand what Tesla controls
Tesla sets the current benefit, eligibility rules, and can change or end the referral program at any time. Nothing shown here is a guarantee.
