Tesla Referral Program 2026: Refer and Earn + Free FSD Month
How Tesla Refer and Earn works in late 2026 after vehicle purchase rewards ended, plus FSD (Supervised) free trial months and how to use our Tesla referral link.
Thinking about joining the Tesla club, or already driving one and want free months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised)? Tesla’s Refer and Earn program still rewards owners who share the brand, but the rules changed in a big way on October 30, 2026.

What Changed on October 30, 2026
According to Tesla’s official support page, new Tesla vehicle purchases are no longer eligible for buyer and referrer benefits. That means ordering a Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck through a classic referral link no longer pays out the old vehicle referral rewards.
What still matters:
- FSD (Supervised) referrals are the main way owners earn rewards now
- Solar panels (installed by Tesla) remain a qualifying product for buyer and referrer benefits
- Loyalty benefits still apply when existing owners buy another qualifying product (including Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck, and solar)
- Older Tesla Credits from earlier Refer and Earn versions can still be redeemed in the app until they expire
Tesla updates these terms often. Always double-check tesla.com/support/refer-and-earn before you order.
FSD (Supervised) Referral Program: How It Works
This is the active rewards path most owners care about in late 2026. Details come from Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Referral Program page.
Who can refer
- You must be subscribed to FSD (Supervised), or own it outright
- If you only have FSD through a one-year grant, you cannot refer someone or receive a referral link
- You need Tesla app version 4.62.0 or later
What the person you refer gets
Eligible Tesla owners who open your FSD referral link can get a one-month FSD (Supervised) trial.
To be eligible to receive that trial, they must:
- Own a registered Tesla vehicle
- Not have paid for an FSD (Supervised) subscription in the past 12 months
- Not have purchased FSD (Supervised) outright
- Be eligible to subscribe with compatible hardware
Important catch: if someone already got a free FSD trial after taking delivery of a new Tesla, they are locked out of referral trials for at least 12 months after that delivery trial ends.
What you earn as the referrer
You only earn the referrer reward when your invitee subscribes to FSD (Supervised) during their free month.
- FSD subscribers: one free month of FSD (Supervised)
- Outright FSD owners: a $99 Tesla Credit (matching one month of the current subscription price)
You can earn these rewards up to 12 times per calendar year. Benefits show as pending until the Grant Date, then expire 12 months after that grant.
How to Share an FSD Referral in the Tesla App
- Open the Tesla app
- Tap the menu in the top-right corner
- Select Refer and Earn
- Find the FSD (Supervised) section and tap Share Your Link
- Send the invite to a fellow Tesla owner
Invitees usually need to open the link in the Tesla app (long-press the link and choose Open in Tesla if it does not launch automatically).
Still Buying a Tesla?
Even after the October 2026 change, a referral link is still a clean way to start an order through someone who already owns the product. Vehicle purchase rewards are gone for now, but you can still use our link when you configure and order:
Order with our Tesla referral: https://ts.la/dino191535
If you already own a Tesla and are shopping again, check the Loyalty tab inside Refer and Earn for current owner benefits on Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck, and solar.
What Tesla Credits Can Pay For
When you earn Tesla Credits (including the $99 FSD referrer credit), Tesla says they can go toward:
- Supercharging
- A new vehicle purchase
- A new energy product purchase
- Outstanding service balances in the Tesla app
- Tesla Shop purchases
- Tesla Insurance payments
- Upgrades, including subscriptions
Credits expire 12 months after the Grant Date, cannot be cashed out, and are not transferable.
