Why the Tesla referral benefit changed in 2026 (S/X out, FSD in)
In March 2026 Tesla reworked the referral program: cash discounts out, an FSD trial in for North America, and Model S/X dropped. Here's what changed and what it means for you as a buyer.
What actually changed
- Cash discounts retired in North America, replaced by 3 months of free FSD (Supervised).
- Model S and Model X removed — no buyer benefit on either since March 2026.
- Cybertruck narrowed to Premium AWD & Cyberbeast (Dual-Motor AWD excluded).
- Regions diverged further — the UK/EU stayed on free Supercharging because FSD isn't approved there; the Netherlands then became the first EU market to approve FSD.
Why it matters for buyers
If you were relying on an old "cash off" or "S/X bonus" claim from a stale referral site, it no longer applies. The current, correct benefit depends entirely on your country and model — which is the whole reason this site is organised the way it is.
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.
