The idea in one sentence

Click the referral link before you configure your Tesla, and the benefit (2,000 km of free Supercharging or €250) attaches to your order by itself. It all comes down to the order of the steps.

Step by step

  1. Click the link (e.g. ts.la/<code>). It opens Tesla's official store with the benefit attached to your session.
  2. Configure your Model 3 or Model Y: trim, paint, wheels, interior.
  3. In the summary, before payment, find the “Referral” line. That's your proof the benefit was applied.
  4. Don't confirm if the line is missing: start over by clicking the link first.

Why order matters

The benefit is not retroactive. Configuring first and then “looking for a code” doesn't work: there's no box to paste a code into afterwards. It's the most common mistake — covered in the mistakes to avoid.

Ordering from a phone: what changes

Most people configure on a computer and order on a computer. Those who do it differently lose the benefit more often, and for practical rather than technical reasons.

SituationThe riskWhat to do
Opening the link from a messaging appSome apps open links in their own built-in browser, and you then switch to your real browser to finish — changing session part-way through.Stay in the window that opened on the click, or copy the link and paste it into your browser before configuring.
Configuring on a phone, finishing on a laptopThe most common way people who switch devices lose the benefit. Attribution doesn't follow you across devices.Pick one device and go all the way to payment on it.
A narrow screen at the summary stepSummary lines stack vertically, so the referral line ends up far from the total — invisible if you only check the amount.Scroll the whole summary, line by line, before confirming.
Private browsing on mobileIt works, but nothing survives closing the tab — and on a phone people close tabs without thinking.Avoid private browsing for this particular order.

The two minutes after you click "order"

This is the moment nobody documents, and the only one where evidence gets created. Three actions, in this order:

  1. Before paying: screenshot the order summary. It is the only proof the benefit was attached. It costs nothing and it's irreplaceable if nothing shows up after delivery.
  2. Immediately after: check the order confirmation. If the referral line appears there too, you're covered. If it only ever appeared on the summary, your screenshot is doing real work.
  3. Note the date. The benefit is credited at delivery, not now — and its validity window runs from then. A calendar reminder on delivery day is what stops free kilometres quietly expiring.

What not to do in those two minutes: contact Tesla because nothing has appeared in your account. That's normal at this stage. Between order and delivery there is simply nothing to see.

Copy link copies the whole URL: Tesla has no code field, so opening the link is what pre-applies the benefit. Always confirm it shows before you pay.
