Tesla US Vehicle Referral Rewards Ended: What Is Still Available

Around the evening of October 29, 2026, Tesla ended US vehicle referral rewards, according to Electrek, Not a Tesla App, Drive Tesla Canada, and others. Tesla has not formally announced the vehicle-referral end. A referral link on a new US car no longer includes 3 months of FSD (Supervised) for the buyer, and the referrer no longer receives the $250 credit on that car. This page is the October 31 status: what ended, what a US link still offers, the new FSD referral, pending referrals, and Canada.

Key Takeaways:

• According to Tesla's Refer and Earn terms as reported by Electrek (Fred Lambert, October 30, 2026), no vehicle is listed as a qualifying purchase for US buyer or referrer rewards. Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck appear only under loyalty benefits, for repeat buyers on the same Tesla account. Model S and Model X are not listed.
• What those reports say ended for US vehicles: 3 months of FSD (Supervised) for the buyer on an eligible Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck ordered through a referral link, and the $250 referrer credit. The terms page is still stamped "Updated February 24, 2026," so the exact cut-over time is unclear.
• A US referral link still points at energy products. ReferATesla.ca, checked October 31, 2026, reports that a live US referral link now offers $400 off Solar Panels & Powerwall.
• The new US-only offer is Give a Month, Get a Month, announced by Tesla North America on X on October 29. It is a 1-month FSD trial for a qualifying existing owner, not a new-car discount. Canada is excluded.
• Canada's vehicle referral is reported as unchanged: 3 months of FSD (Supervised) for the buyer and C$325 for the referrer. British Columbia is excluded from the referrer benefit. Financing on the deals page is unchanged since October 23.

The card on this page loads a live referral link. It does not print a fixed code. Open the referral link when a reported benefit still applies, and read the order before you submit it.

What the terms list, according to Electrek

According to Tesla's Refer and Earn terms as reported by Electrek (Fred Lambert, October 30, 2026), no vehicle is listed as a qualifying purchase for buyer or referrer rewards. Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck appear only under loyalty benefits, for repeat buyers on the same Tesla account. Model S and Model X are not listed.

The terms page is still stamped "Updated February 24, 2026," so the exact cut-over time is unclear. Not a Tesla App, Drive Tesla Canada, and others agree that the US vehicle rewards ended around the evening of October 29. Tesla has not formally announced that end.

The loyalty and friends-and-family post is the longer note on loyalty for repeat buyers. The 2026 referral guide walks through how a referral link is applied. Vehicle-reward sections in both of those posts are earlier reporting. The October 30 note at the top of each one matches this page.

What ended on a US vehicle

Reports describe two US vehicle rewards as ended:

• The buyer benefit of 3 months of FSD (Supervised) on an eligible Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck ordered through a referral link.
• The $250 referrer credit on that new car.

A new US vehicle order does not include either of those. Repeat buyers on the same Tesla account are on the loyalty path above. This site does not publish a loyalty dollar amount.

What a US referral link still offers

ReferATesla.ca, checked October 31, 2026, reports that a live US referral link now offers $400 off Solar Panels & Powerwall. That dollar amount is reported. Confirm the energy line on the order before you submit it.

Product	What reports say a US referral link does now
New Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck	No buyer FSD trial and no $250 referrer credit. Loyalty only, for a repeat buyer on the same Tesla account.
Model S and Model X	Not listed.
Solar Panels & Powerwall	ReferATesla.ca reports $400 off on a live US referral link.

Give a Month, Get a Month

Tesla North America announced Give a Month, Get a Month on X on October 29, 2026. It is a US-only FSD referral. Canada is excluded. It is not a discount on a new car, and it does not put 3 months of FSD (Supervised) on a vehicle order.

Reports of that offer describe the rules below.

The referrer must pay for an FSD subscription or own FSD outright. A one-year grant does not qualify. The referrer shares a link from Refer and Earn in the Tesla app, version 4.62.0 or later.

The referee must already own a registered FSD-capable Tesla, must not have subscribed to FSD in the past 12 months, and must never have bought FSD outright. The referee gets a 1-month free FSD trial. Per Electrek, anyone who got a free FSD trial with a new car cannot use a referral trial until 12 months after that trial ends, so new-car buyers effectively cannot use it.

If the referee subscribes during the trial, the referrer gets 1 free month of FSD, or a $99 Tesla Credit if the referrer bought FSD outright.

Limits reported with the offer:

• 12 trials redeemed per calendar year, counted whether or not they convert.
• 48 rewards lifetime.
• Rewards expire 12 months after they are granted.
• The reported maximum is about 12 months of FSD, or $1,188 in Tesla Credits, per year. That ceiling assumes the trials convert. Trials count toward the yearly cap even when they do not.

FSD (Supervised) is also $99 a month, with a separate 30-day trial at delivery. That delivery trial is not Give a Month, Get a Month, and it is not the ended 3-month vehicle referral. The short version of the owner offer is on the deals page.

Pending vehicle referrals

Owners report that pre-switch pending vehicle referrals briefly vanished, then reappeared in the app still showing $250 Tesla Credits. Tesla's in-app assistant told owners those pending referrals would be honored upon delivery. That is an owner report of an in-app assistant reply. It is not a Tesla policy statement. This page does not treat a pending $250 credit as guaranteed, and it does not mean a new US car order still pays $250.

Canada

Canada's vehicle referral is reported as unchanged. The buyer gets 3 months of FSD (Supervised). The referrer gets C$325. British Columbia is excluded from the referrer benefit. Give a Month, Get a Month is not available in Canada.

Canadian buyers should start on the Canada page and open the referral link before ordering. The referral guide says Tesla does not promise to add a link after the order.

US offers that still matter for buyers

These US buyer offers are unchanged since October 23, 2026. A November offer sheet is expected in early November and is not out yet. Confirm the quote for your ZIP code on tesla.com. The October 23 write-up is the October deals post and the deals page. None of the lines below is the ended vehicle referral.

Offer	Detail
Model Y financing	2.49% APR for orders placed on or after October 22, 2026 (72 months, 5% down). Model Y Performance is 3.99%.
Model 3 financing	Model 3 Premium is 2.49% APR. Model 3 Performance is 1.99% APR.
Leases	Model 3 from $439 a month. Model Y from $499 a month. Cybertruck is $1,129 a month with $5,000 down.
Trade-in	2,000 free Supercharging miles with a gas or hybrid trade-in.
FSD (Supervised)	$99 a month, with a 30-day trial at delivery.

How to use a referral link now

1. US new vehicle: do not expect 3 months of FSD (Supervised), and do not expect a $250 referrer credit. Read the order. Repeat buyers on the same Tesla account are on the loyalty path in the loyalty post.
2. US energy: ReferATesla.ca reports $400 off Solar Panels & Powerwall on a live US link. Open the referral link and confirm that line on the order. This site does not print a code.
3. US FSD trial for an owner you know: the referrer shares Give a Month, Get a Month from Refer and Earn in the Tesla app (version 4.62.0 or later). That link is not a new-car discount.
4. Canada: the vehicle referral is reported as still running, except the referrer benefit in British Columbia. Start from Canada.
