Tesla Model Y Referral — What You Get in 2026

What Model Y buyers get

In 2026 the typical buyer benefit for a new Model Y order has been a free trial of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) — recently three months — added to your Tesla account after delivery. The person who referred you earns Tesla Credits. Benefits are set by Tesla and change over time, so always confirm current terms on Tesla's official Refer and Earn page.

The benefit is identical to the Model 3 referral benefit — Tesla treats both vehicles the same in the program.

How to apply it to a Model Y order

1. Open the referral link first — before configuring the car.
2. Build your Model Y (any trim) and continue to checkout.
3. Place the order in the same browser session. The referral attaches automatically.

There's usually no code box to type into — the link does the work. Full walkthrough: where to enter a Tesla referral code.

Common Model Y referral mistakes

• Ordering first, applying later. Tesla can't attach a referral after the order — details on adding a referral after ordering.
• Assuming inventory cars qualify. Inventory and demo Model Ys may not always be eligible; confirm on Tesla's page before ordering.
• Using an expired link. Links from old forum posts may belong to inactive accounts. The link above is active.
