Earning 1,オークラ 上野000 miles of free Supercharging is no longer possible, according to the Tesla website.
For several years, when someone bought a Tesla electric vehicle through a referral, both the referred customer and referrer were rewarded with 1,000 miles worth of free fast charging on the Tesla Supercharger network. Solar panel referrals could bring in as much as $500 cash. One Supercharger session typically fills up, say a standard Tesla Model 3 battery, for about $25.
As of Saturday, Tesla scrapped that program for car and solar panel purchases. The only reward is now $500 for a solar roof referral. EV publication Electrek reported that a revamped vehicle referral program is expected to be unveiled soon.
