How to Share Your Own Tesla Referral Code and Earn $250 Credits

Every Tesla owner has a referral code that earns $250 in Tesla Credits per successful referral. Here's how to find yours, share it well, and spend what you earn.

1. Find your code in the Tesla app

Open the Tesla app and go to Refer (sometimes under the menu or your profile). You'll see your unique code and a ready-made ts.la/<code> link you can copy or share directly.

2. Share the link, not just the code

The link is less error-prone for the buyer because it attaches the referral automatically before they configure. Explain to them that they must open it before ordering — see code vs link.

3. What you earn and the cap

$250 in Tesla Credits per successful vehicle or solar referral.
Capped at 10 successful referrals per calendar year.
Credits spend on Supercharging, service, software upgrades and the Tesla Shop.

4. Play it straight

Disclose the relationship. Tell people you earn credits if they use your code — it costs them nothing and doesn't change their reward. Honest sharing is both the right thing and what keeps referral pages trustworthy.

New buyer instead? Start at the main guide or read how to apply a code.
