Your first Tesla referral code: a first-time buyer's checklist in France

Published July 18, 2026 · verified July 13, 2026

Ordering your first Tesla in France? The full checklist for using a referral code properly: where to find one, when to click it, what to check.

Why a guide for first-time buyers

The Tesla referral mechanic is simple once you've done it — but for a first order, the same questions come up again and again: do I need to personally know the referrer? Is a link found online valid? Does it cost anything? This checklist answers them in the order they actually arise, from finding a link to the order summary.

Before you look for a code: 3 questions to ask yourself

• Are you ordering a Model 3 or a Model Y? These are, in France, the only two new models covered by the referral program in 2026.
• Do you already know an owner? Using a friend's or relative's link is the most direct way to thank them — they earn €250 in credits or 1000 km, without changing your own benefit at all.
• If not, where do you find a reliable link? A site that shows one fixed link for everyone isn't any more “official” than another — see the next section.

Do you need to personally know the referrer? No

The referral link doesn't identify you — it identifies the referrer. You can use a friend's link or a link from an owner you've never met, shared on a site like this one. The result for you is exactly the same: 1000 km of free Supercharging or €250 off.

Why this site rotates its links at random

Rather than freeze a single link, this site draws a random code from a pool of owners on every page load, so no single referrer hogs every referral, and you always get a valid link genuinely held by a real Tesla owner. For you, it's exactly equivalent to a personal link.

The 4-step checklist

1. Before: click the referral link shown on this page (or a friend's) — never after you've started configuring.
2. During: configure your Model 3 or Model Y as usual; the benefit follows your session, no need to re-enter it.
3. In the summary: find the “Referral” line before you pay. Without it, the benefit hasn't been applied.
4. After: once you own the car, find your own link in the Tesla app → profile → Referral, to share it in turn.

The most common beginner mistakes

Configuring before clicking the link, or thinking you can “add a code” afterwards, are by far the two costliest mistakes for first-time buyers. Full detail in our mistakes-to-avoid guide.

What about the models that aren't covered?

Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck aren't part of the French referral program in 2026 — the first two are no longer sold new, the third isn't sold in France at all. See our full note on the Cybertruck and referral.

What to remember

• You don't need to know the referrer personally.
• The link must be clicked before you configure, never after.
• The benefit is the same whichever link you use: 1000 km or €250.
