How to enter a Tesla referral code
The short answer: you don't type it anywhere. Tesla has no referral code box at checkout. The referral rides along with a link — open a referral link first, then order as normal, and Tesla applies its current referral benefit to an eligible order.
STEP 1
Open the referral link
Do this before you start your order. The link is how Tesla knows a referral is attached; there is no code to type anywhere at checkout.
STEP 2
Configure and order as normal
Pick your Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X or Cybertruck on tesla.com exactly as you would have anyway. Nothing about the order changes.
STEP 3
Tesla applies the benefit at checkout
For an eligible order, Tesla shows its current referral benefit during checkout. Tesla controls what the benefit is and it can change.

Common questions
Where is the referral code box at Tesla checkout?
There isn't one. Tesla attaches the referral through the link you used to reach tesla.com, not through a code you paste in. If you are hunting for a text box, that is the sign to go back and open a referral link first.
When exactly do I open the link?
Before you place the order. Opening it before you configure the car is the safe habit, but the requirement is that the order is placed after the link was opened.
Can I add a referral code after ordering?
No. Tesla only applies referral links used before the order is placed. It cannot be added afterwards.
Does this cost anything or need an account?
No. No payment, no sign-up, no account. You open the link and order on Tesla as normal.
