Does a German referral link give free FSD?

No. FSD (Supervised) is not approved for public use in Germany, so the German reward is free Supercharging credit on Model 3 and Model Y — not an FSD trial.

Is the Cybertruck part of a German referral order?

No — the Cybertruck isn't sold in Germany. A German referral link only carries a benefit on Model 3 and Model Y.

A Tesla Referral Link Walked Through: Germany, July 2026

By Elena Marsh · EV buyer's advocate · Published July 18, 2026 · updated July 18, 2026

Abstract advice is easy to skim past. So here's a concrete, dated walkthrough: what a reader configuring a Model Y in Germany today (July 13, 2026) actually sees, screen by screen, using a referral link.

Before opening the configurator

The reader opens a verified referral link first — https://ts.la/steven787345 in this example — which redirects into Tesla's https://www.tesla.com/de_de storefront with the code already attached to the session. Nothing to type, nothing to confirm yet.

The code is in the toolbar above (tap Copy). This referral link opens Tesla's official store with the benefit attached — always confirm it shows in your order summary before you pay. We may earn Tesla Credits; it costs you nothing.

Configuring the Model Y

In Germany the referral reward is free Supercharging on a new Model 3 or Model Y — typically in the region of 1,000–1,500 km of credit (re-verify the current amount). FSD (Supervised) is not approved for public use in Germany, so there is no FSD trial here. The reader picks paint, wheels and interior as normal — none of that changes because of the referral. FSD (Supervised) is not yet approved for public use on German roads, so the German reward is Supercharging credit, not an FSD trial.

What shows up at the order step

On the order/payment screen, Germany's reward should appear as Supercharging credit — reported in the region of ≈ 1,000–1,500 km of Supercharging (verify) — rather than any FSD line, because FSD (Supervised) isn't road-legal there yet. If the order summary shows something else, or nothing, that's the signal to stop and re-open the link before paying, not to assume it'll sort itself out.

The German-specific detail that trips up copycat pages

Plenty of referral pages still paste the US "free FSD" line onto every country, including Germany. It's simply wrong here. The German reward is Supercharging credit, and the bigger German saving most buyers overlook sits on the tax side: the reduced 0.25% Dienstwagen taxable-benefit rate for electric company cars under the list-price cap — worth far more than the referral itself to a business-registered Model Y. The old consumer Umweltbonus purchase subsidy ended in 2023 and hasn't returned, so this reader shouldn't budget for a purchase grant on top.

Why I picked Germany for this walkthrough

Not because it's the biggest number — it isn't — but because it's the market where getting the benefit type right (Supercharging, not FSD) matters most, and where the real stacking opportunity is a tax rule most buyers never look up. A dated, concrete example beats another generic "click the link" paragraph.

What this reader should check before paying

Before confirming the order, the honest checkpoint is the order summary itself, not a memory of what a page said last month. If the Supercharging credit shows in roughly the ≈ 1,000–1,500 km of Supercharging range, that matches the current figure we've verified as of July 13, 2026. If the order summary shows a different figure, a flat cash amount, or an FSD line instead, that's a signal the program has moved since this walkthrough was written — re-check Tesla Support — Refer and Earn directly rather than assuming this post is still current.

Where the referral fits next to the company-car math

For a private buyer, the Supercharging credit is the whole story. For a reader ordering through a German employer or a leasing scheme, it's worth remembering the referral is the smaller of two savings on the table — the 0.25% Dienstwagen rate is usually the bigger one, and the two are entirely separate systems that don't interact. Claiming one doesn't reduce or complicate the other; they're simply calculated by different people (Tesla for the referral, the tax office for the company-car rate).

How this compares to a US or UK reader doing the same thing

Run the identical two steps — click the link, configure a Model Y — for a US reader and the order summary shows an FSD trial line instead of a Supercharging figure; for a UK reader it shows Supercharging, like Germany, but denominated in miles and pounds rather than kilometres and euros. The click-first mechanic is identical everywhere; only the line that appears at the end changes, which is the whole reason this site organizes itself by country rather than publishing one workflow and assuming the reward is universal.
