Tesla delivery day: the checklist that protects your referral benefit

Order summary, written proof, credited kilometres: the delivery-day checklist to confirm your referral benefit (2,000 km or €250) held all the way through.

Why delivery day deserves its own checklist

Most guides stop at the order: once the link is clicked and the summary confirmed, the referral benefit seems "settled." In reality, several weeks often pass between ordering and delivery — plenty of time to lose your proof or miss an error. Here, as an FAQ, is exactly what to check on the day itself.

Does my order summary still show the referral at delivery?

It should — but check again. Open your order in the Tesla app or account and confirm the "Referral" line seen at order time is still there. It's the same line to watch as at order time (see how it works), but a final check before signing costs thirty seconds.

Should I keep proof, and what kind?

Yes. Before delivery, screenshot or keep the order confirmation email that shows the benefit you chose (kilometres or euros). If there's ever a disagreement after delivery, this is your best evidence the benefit was applied at order time — far more useful than a memory of what you saw.

Do the Supercharging kilometres show up in the app right at delivery?

As of this page's verification date, we found no officially published timeline from Tesla for crediting these kilometres. If you chose the 2000 km rather than €250 and they don't show up quickly in your app after delivery, contact Tesla support with your order proof — don't wait months before flagging it.

If I changed my configuration between order and delivery, does the benefit still hold?

This is a genuine watch-point: changing your configuration (colour, wheels, version) after the initial order can, in some cases, reopen parts of the checkout flow. After any change, systematically verify that the "Referral" line is still present in the updated summary — don't assume it automatically survives a change.

Should the final sales contract mention the referral?

If you chose the €250 discount, the amount should show up deducted in the final invoiced price — that's the line to compare between your original order summary and the delivery invoice. If the two amounts don't match, ask before you sign, not after.

If I'm the referrer, what should I check on my referral's delivery day?

Check your own app, in the days following your referral's delivery, that the credit or kilometres were actually attributed to you. Keep the 10-referral yearly cap in mind: if you're close to that limit, a delayed delivery can, depending on timing, tip over into the next year's cap.

The two checks that belong at home, the same evening

Everything above happens at the delivery centre. Two things can't be verified there and shouldn't wait a week, because both are much easier to raise while the delivery is fresh:

  • Plug it in on your own supply that evening. Not to charge fully — just far enough to confirm the car draws power from your own socket or wallbox, at the rate you expected. A charging problem discovered on day one is a delivery issue; the same problem found in three weeks becomes an argument about your installation.
  • Pair every driver's phone and test both cards. Whoever else will drive the car should set up their access while you're both there and not at 7am on a Monday. Test the key cards too, including locking and unlocking with the phone left indoors — that's the failure mode people meet on the first cold morning.

Neither touches the referral, which was fixed at order and confirmed in the summary. They're here because the day itself has a rhythm — paperwork, photographs, drive home, relief — and these two land in the gap after the useful part is over, which is exactly when they get forgotten until they matter.

The checklist in one line

  • Reopen the order summary at delivery — don't rely on your memory of the order.
  • Keep written proof (screenshot or email) of the benefit chosen at order time.
  • After any configuration change, re-check the "Referral" line is still there.
