How to Get a Tesla Referral Code
Any current Tesla owner can share a unique referral link. If you do not know an owner, use a public link such as https://ts.la/mate59032 (code mate59032). For buyers, every valid owner link works the same—what matters is opening it before checkout.

Step-by-Step: Apply Before You Order
- Open the referral first. Click Apply Discount in the header or go to https://ts.la/mate59032. Do this in the same browser session you will use to order.
- Configure on Tesla.com. Choose your vehicle or energy product and options as usual. Stay on the referral-tagged session—avoid starting a fresh order in another tab without the link.
- Pay the order fee. Confirm the referral is active (Tesla typically shows a confirmation banner). Complete payment. The buyer benefit is attached at this step, not at delivery.
- Take delivery. Software trials such as FSD (Supervised) usually activate after delivery when that is the active referral perk.
Golden rule: referrals are not retroactive. If you already ordered without one, Tesla support generally cannot add it later.
What You Typically Get in 2026
U.S. buyer benefits change, but as of mid-2026 the common pattern is:
- Model 3 & Model Y: about 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) — details on the FSD trial referral page
- Cybertruck: about 3 months of FSD (Supervised) on eligible trims
- Solar: about $400 off qualifying Tesla-installed Solar orders
- Model S & Model X: not in the current U.S. referral program
Always trust the offer text on your Tesla order summary over any third-party page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a Tesla referral code?
