About The Tesla Referral Register

Most referral pages are written once and never touched again — which is why so many still list retired benefits. We do the opposite: a live status board, a dated changelog, and a corrections table, all refreshed whenever Tesla changes the rules.

Who writes this

The Tesla Referral Register Editorial Desk — Verification & corrections. The desk rechecks Tesla's official Refer and Earn pages and primary Tesla reporting on a fixed cadence, dates every figure it publishes, and logs a correction in the open whenever the referral program changes.

How we verify

1. Confirm a referral code resolves to a live ts.la owner link.
2. Check Tesla's own Refer and Earn page for the current buyer benefit and eligible models.
3. Corroborate any change (like the March 2026 Model S/X removal) against primary reporting.
4. Log it to the changelog, stamp the date, and update on the next change — never leave a stale "verified" claim.

Why there is a current-status page at all

Most referral sites answer "what does it give?" inside whichever article you happen to land on. This desk keeps a single current status page instead, and the reasoning is about the shape of the subject rather than about design.

A programme that changes several times a year is badly served by scattered answers. If the reward is stated in twenty places, then a change requires twenty edits, and the ones that get missed are indistinguishable from the ones that were updated — same tone, same confidence, no visible date. Readers cannot audit that, and neither, in practice, can the people maintaining it.

One status page has a property the scattered version lacks: it can be wrong in a single place. When the programme moves, there is exactly one thing to correct, one date to advance, and one page whose staleness is visible to anyone who looks. That is worth more than the convenience of repeating the figure everywhere.

What would show that we had failed

A claim of accuracy is worth more when it comes with the conditions that would disprove it. Any of these would mean this desk is not doing what it says:

• A figure on this site with no verification date. Undatable is unauditable, and we would have no answer to "when was this true?"
• A date that moved without a check behind it. That is worse than no date, because it makes an unchecked page look checked.
• A reward figure repeated in an article that contradicts the status page. The whole point of centralising it is that this should not be possible.
• A correction we made quietly. Corrections that leave no trace are indistinguishable from never having been wrong, which is the impression they create.

If you find one, telling us is genuinely more useful than it sounds — it is the failure mode we cannot detect from the inside, because a page that is confidently out of date looks exactly like a page that is right.

What we will not do

We do not invent figures, quote retired benefits, or copy another site's words. If we cannot cite it, we do not print it. Program verified July 13, 2026.
