Tesla drops car referral rewards, now pays owners in FSD for referrals

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.
