What the Model Y referral program is

Tesla runs one referral program across the whole lineup rather than a separate Model Y program. When someone orders a Model Y through a referral link, the buyer receives whatever benefit Tesla is running at that time and the referrer receives Tesla Credits. There is no Model Y specific rate, no Model Y only bonus, and nothing extra to sign up for.

What the Model Y buyer gets in 2026

Through 2026 the buyer benefit has typically been a free trial of Full Self Driving Supervised, recently three months, worth roughly 297 dollars, added to your Tesla account after delivery. Tesla changes this periodically and it varies by market, so treat the official Tesla referral page as the source of truth on the day you order.

What the referrer gets

The person whose link was used earns Tesla Credits. Credits go toward Supercharging, service work, or the Tesla Shop. They are not cash and they do not reduce the price of the car.

If you were looking for the 2024 program

Older guides describe a 2024 version of the program with a different reward structure, including cash discounts and award points. Those terms are no longer current. The 2026 structure is simpler: a trial benefit for the buyer, credits for the referrer, and both depend on opening a referral link before the order is placed.

How to use it on a Model Y order

  1. Open a referral link first, before you configure anything.
  2. Build your Model Y and go through to checkout.
  3. Check the order summary for a referral line before you pay the order fee.
  4. Place the order. The benefit lands on your Tesla account after delivery.

The referral has to be attached before the order is submitted. Tesla does not apply it retroactively, and this is the single most common way Model Y buyers lose the benefit.

Model Y versus Model 3 under the program

Both are standard vehicles in the lineup and carry the same referral treatment. Choosing a Model Y over a Model 3 does not change what the referral is worth or how it is applied.
