Tesla referral in France: everything that changed in 2026

Published July 18, 2026 · verified July 13, 2026

Model 3 discount gone, scrappage grant abolished, FSD now a subscription: everything that changed for the Tesla referral in France since January 2026.

A busy year for Tesla buyers in France

Between 1 January and July 2026, several rules changed for anyone ordering a Tesla in France with a referral link: aid disappeared, a model left the program, and FSD changed status. None of it touches the referral benefit itself — but all of it changes the real total you can expect to save. Here is what actually moved, in order, with exact dates and sources.

1 January 2026: two forms of aid disappear

  • Tesla's €3 100 maker's discount on the Model 3 ended on 1 January 2026.
  • The scrappage grant (prime à la conversion, for trading in an older vehicle) was abolished the same day.

Both vanished on the same date, which mechanically lowered the total aid available to a Model 3 buyer — even though the referral benefit itself didn't move.

March 2026: Model S and Model X leave the program

Model S and Model X were removed from the French referral program in March 2026. Neither model is sold new in France any more: there's no referral link to apply to them today, whatever some un-updated pages might still say.

April–May 2026: FSD changes status

  • 10 April 2026 — first European type-approval for supervised driving (FSD), in the Netherlands.
  • 14 February 2026 — outright FSD purchase ends for new customers; subscription only from here on.
  • 22 May 2026 — the FSD subscription launches in France at €99/month (€49/month for Enhanced Autopilot owners).

None of this touches the referral: FSD stays a separate subscription, never a “referral bonus” like in the US. Full detail in our FSD post.

What hasn't changed

  • The Model 3 / Model Y referral benefit stays 1,000 km of Supercharging or €250, as an alternative, never stacked.
  • The eco-bonus scale stays €5 700 / €4 700 / €3 500 depending on reference tax income, plus a €1 200–2 000 European-battery top-up.
  • The Cybertruck still isn't sold in France or Europe (see our Cybertruck note).
