Tesla’s Updated 2025 Referral Program in Canada
Tesla has introduced major updates to its Canadian referral program for 2025, bringing new reward amounts and a clearer structure for both new buyers and current Tesla owners. While cash discounts are no longer part of the referral program, the new rewards now center around feature trials and Tesla Credits — offering meaningful value to both sides of the referral.
This guide breaks down what’s changed, how the program works today, and how you can maximize your rewards as a buyer or referrer in Canada.
What’s New in Canada’s 2025 Tesla Referral Program
Referral Credits Increased
Referrers in Canada now earn $650 in Tesla Credits per successful referral — double the previous reward.
Buyer Rewards Updated
New Tesla buyers receive:
- 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
OR - $650 off the purchase of FSD
This replaces older referral discounts that previously reduced vehicle prices directly.
Model 3 Still Eligible
Despite previous program adjustments, the Model 3 remains fully eligible for referral rewards. Buyers receive the same FSD trial or FSD discount as other models.
Cybertruck Included
Cybertruck purchases also qualify. Referrers earn $650 in credits, while buyers get the same FSD benefits.
No More Cash Purchase Discounts
Former incentives — like $650 to $1,300 off a vehicle — are no longer offered. Tesla has shifted the program entirely to credits and software perks.
How the Tesla Canada Referral Program Works in 2025
For Tesla Owners (Referrers)
- Earn $650 Tesla Credits per referral
- Credits can be used for:
- Supercharging
- Software upgrades (FSD, EAP, Acceleration Boost)
- Service and maintenance
- Tesla Shop accessories
- Partial payments toward a future Tesla vehicle
- Credits typically expire after 12 months
For New Tesla Buyers
- Receive 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
or $650 toward Full Self-Driving - Applied automatically after delivery
- Works for both custom orders and inventory vehicles (when eligible)
Eligible Vehicles & Rewards (Canada)
Model 3 – Referrer earns $650 Credits; buyer gets FSD trial or FSD discount
Model Y – Same rewards
Model S – Same rewards
Model X – Same rewards
Cybertruck – Same rewards
Rewards follow the buyer’s region and the referrer’s region — both must be in Canada for this program to apply.
Inventory Vehicles: A Hidden Advantage
Even though referral discounts no longer reduce the purchase price, inventory vehicles often come with:
- Faster delivery
- Temporary incentives
- Market-adjusted pricing
- Special promotions
Referral rewards still apply to inventory orders, making it one of the easiest ways to stack benefits.
How to Find & Share Your Tesla Referral Link
- Open your Tesla app
- Tap your profile icon
- Select Refer & Earn
- Tap Copy Link
- Share the link with friends, family, coworkers, or your online audience
Referrals count once the buyer takes delivery of their vehicle.
Who You Can Refer
You can refer:
- Friends
- Family members
- Coworkers
- Online followers
- Members of Tesla forums or EV communities
- Household members (self-referrals are not allowed)
Tips to Maximize Your Referral Earnings
- Post your link on social media profiles, bios, and posts
- Add it to your email signature
- Create content (videos, blogs, reviews) featuring your referral link
- Engage in EV communities like Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord
- Be transparent about the benefits for both sides
- Reach out directly to people considering an EV
Example Referral Message You Can Share
“Use my Tesla referral link when ordering your vehicle and you’ll receive a 3-month trial of Full Self-Driving (Supervised). I’ll also earn Tesla Credits I can use for upgrades, Supercharging, and more.”
Final Thoughts: Tesla’s 2025 Canadian Referral Program
Tesla’s 2025 update removes direct price discounts but significantly boosts the value for referrers — now offering $650 in Tesla Credits per referral. Buyers still enjoy meaningful perks through a 3-month FSD (Supervised) trial or $650 off FSD.
Whether you're buying or referring, the program remains one of Tesla’s most reliable ways to save and earn rewards.
