Tesla UK Referral Scheme 2025
If you are lucky enough to be an existing Tesla owner in the UK, you can share your Tesla referral link or your Tesla referral code and earn Tesla credits. The person you are referring will today will get a £500 discount on a new Tesla or a £500 credit towards Supercharging or accessories, depending on how they purchase the vehicle.
The person you refer will always receive a discount. The details will pop up on their order screen as soon as they have clicked the referral link. It is important to note that the discount can change at any time.
The Tesla referral discount has been between £250 to £750 on new Tesla purchases over the last 12 months. This discount on a new Tesla is based on Tesla’s sales targets. In the last 3 months of the year, Tesla seems to pile on the rewards but the current discount remains at £500 as we head into February 2025.
The referral scheme changed on 27th November 2024, and the £500 discount now only applies to Tesla vehicles purchased via cash or a loan. Anyone leasing a Tesla through a personal or business contract will receive £500 towards Supercharging or accessories.
- £500 off of your vehicle price (Cash or Loan) or
- £500 towards Supercharging or Accessories (Personal/Business Contract Hire)

Word travels fast when you’re passionate about something because nothing speaks louder than a personal recommendation. That’s why Tesla doesn’t pay for advertising. Instead, they incentivise customers to share their experiences and Tesla referral codes.

Ensure your Tesla app is always updated to the latest version to access all features related to managing and using your credits. New updates might introduce better ways to use your credits or improve the user interface.
This is how to spend Tesla Referral Credits 2025.
You can spend your Tesla referral credits in 5 ways:
- Tesla Shop: When you’re ready to check out in the Tesla Shop, you’ll see a drop-down box on the final checkout page. Here, you can select “Tesla credits” as your main payment card to pay for items.
- Supercharging: To use credits for Supercharging, open your Tesla app and click the three lines (menu) in the top right-hand corner. Navigate to “Charging”. On the next page, you’ll have the option to select Tesla credits as your main payment card for charging sessions.
- Software Upgrades: In your Tesla app, go to “Upgrades” and then select “Software”. Choose the software upgrade you want, add it to your cart, and proceed to checkout. You’ll need to confirm your billing address. At the payment step, you’ll be prompted to choose a payment method; here, you can select Tesla credits.
- New Vehicle Purchase: You cannot use Tesla credits immediately when ordering a new vehicle. You must wait until you receive the final payment invoice. Only at this stage will you have the option to apply your Tesla credits towards the deposit.
- Vehicle Servicing: For servicing, Tesla credits can only be used after the service is completed. Once your vehicle is ready for collection, you’ll be asked to confirm the cost. At this point, you can choose Tesla credits as your payment method. Note that you cannot select this option on the estimate page before the service is done.
Important Note: You cannot set Tesla credits as the default payment method in your Tesla wallet. Each of these services requires you to manually select Tesla credits during the specific transaction process.

This is what Tesla UK have to say about their new Tesla Referral Credits.
Our goal is to help Tesla owners share their passion for Tesla’s products and our mission — to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. As an owner, every time you bring a new friend or family member into the Tesla community, you and your friend both earn credits — you earn Referral Credits and your friend gets a discount on a new Tesla.
Is the Tesla Referral Scheme still active in the UK?
Yes, the Tesla referral scheme is still available in the UK in 2025.
This is how the Tesla referral scheme has changed over the last year;
- April 2024: Tesla suspended its Referral Scheme.
- 5th September 2024: The scheme was relaunched in the UK.
- 27th November 2024: Terms updated; new customers get either a £500 discount on a new Tesla or £500 credit for supercharging or accessories on lease deals when using a referral link.
- 1st January 2025: Rewards for referrers reduced to £250, but the £500 discount for new buyers remains.
Finding your Tesla VIN number early.
At the moment this isn’t so much of an issue as there is stock available but if you order a new Tesla and want to find out when it is on its way from the factory you can check for a VIN number. Once this is allocated to your Tesla account it means it’s on the ship heading to the UK.
I highly recommend this Tesla VIN Code Extention which can be used on a Chrome browser because it worked for me. It searches your Tesla account and finds the VIN in the source code even before it is openly displayed.
Tesla Optional Extras are they worth it?
There are some things you cannot. retrospectively add after your Tesla purchase. These are obvious extras like the paint colour, although you can change it in your order before your delivery date. I changed my colour choice from red, to white and back to red again after I had placed my order.
You can, however, add the tow bar and the software upgrades anytime after your purchase. The software updates are very easy to do.
Remember your vehicle will keep getting better as software changes are made. Over the last 3 years, the visualisation of the Tesla screen has changed so much. It is the reason why I chose a Tesla.
Is it worth buying Enhanced Autopilot when I order my Tesla?
In my view, unless you have read about the extra features of Enhanced Autopilot and want it straight out of the box on collection day, I would wait before ordering It in the UK.
I picked up my Tesla Model Y on the first day it was available in the UK and have driven it thousands of miles on the free autopilot, and it works a treat. I drove my Tesla from Berlin to Dunkirk in one day, and it helped reduce the fatigue whilst driving as some of the pressures of driving are taken away by the vehicle’s software.
@sarah_go_green Replying to @Matt Lots of questions answered about #tesla Ehanced Autopilot. #teslatok ♬ original sound – sarah_go_green
If you try out the Tesla free autopilot, want the additional benefits, like lane changing, and find self-parking attractive, you can add the enhanced autopilot at any time for £3,400. The vehicle automatically updates the software.
You can also use Tesla referral credits to pay for software updates if you get enough. Look out for promotions where the referring fee increases meaning you need fewer Tesla referrals to reach that goal.
Ready, Set, Tesla – Collection Day.
There was a storm the day I picked up my Tesla Model Y and I was extremely nervous. I used this app to run through everything I needed to check but due to the rain, I skimmed through the list. It is important to remember that you have 72 hours to report any issues to Tesla and even return the vehicle if you feel it is necessary.
Handover of your new Tesla involves minimal human contact (which I like) so it is helpful if you do some prep if you have never driven an EV or test driven a Tesla.
I found watching walk-through videos on the Tesla website before collection helpful and after I attended a free Zoom online orientation which is still being offered by volunteers at Tesla Owners UK.
Tesla Owners UK don’t put any pressure on you to sign up and you don’t need to be a member to attend the online event. I had my camera off, listened, and asked a few questions in the chat box. The session was very useful. Keep an eye on the Tesla Owners UK website for future dates.
If you would like any further hints or tips just take a look at my TikTok Channel. You can also message me via DM on Twitter or TokTok plus you’ll find me at SarahGoGreen.com.

Is there a Tesla Discount Code for buying a new Tesla?
Yes, you can get a $2000 discount on a new Tesla in the USA but £500 discount in the UK. The offer can also be used throughout the world. Tesla incentivises existing Tesla owners to spread the word about Tesla and in turn, you can get a discount on a new Tesla.
My Tesla discount code is Sarah583995.
Get charged up and Refer a friend to Tesla.
Get the ultimate reward for driving a Tesla! Share the Tesla love and invite your friends to join the family. With the Tesla Discount code, you’ll get exclusive Tesla credits when you refer someone and they buy their very own Tesla. Plus they will now get a discount on a Tesla, which they will be very happy with!
Start saving up your credits now, and cash out for merchandise or supercharging miles – free Tesla Supercharging miles and rewards for driving the best car around.
Tesla doesn’t pay to advertise instead they prefer word of mouth. A recommendation to buy a Tesla from a current owner is far more powerful in their view.
The Tesla Referral Awards scheme provides current Tesla owners with a unique referral code which they can pass on when recommending a new Tesla. Both the current and new Tesla owners benefit by sharing and receiving a Tesla referral code or link. I love that they have now changed the scheme to offer a discount on a Tesla rather than allocating referral credits to new owners. The Tesla credits are great but when you are spending money on a large item you really want a monetary discount.
There’s no better time to join the #teslaclub than now! Use my Tesla referral code for a discount on a Tesla and be part of the innovation and luxury that comes with owning a Tesla. Get ahead of the curb and join today. #tesla #referralcode #JoinNow
I highly recommend buying a Tesla Model Y.
I have owned my Tesla Model Y since February 2022 before I drove a diesel family car. The charging is a doddle thanks to the Tesla Supercharging network and it is a joy to drive. Any questions just send me a message and I will be happy to help. 💚
Just for a bit of fun here I am trying to talk to my Tesla with a Welsh accent. Tesla has introduced British English as an option in the menu settings and I was trying to see if it would understand me now..the jury is still out. 😀
This is what I love about Tesla it is forever changing and updating. Unlike any vehicle I have driven before it just gets better and better with time!
