Tesla is ending its referral program on April 30th worldwide. The program allowed owners to earn prizes by referring new buyers to buy a Tesla. It started in 2011 and has evolved over the years, offering various rewards such as discounts, free Supercharging, or even a chance to win a next-gen Roadster. However, after promising substantial prizes, Tesla reduced the rewards available and eventually ended the program for most products except solar roofs. The company will now shut down the referral program in all markets on April 30th. Summary in Five Bullet Points:

• Tesla's Referral Program Ends:** The program, which allowed owners to earn prizes by referring new buyers to buy a Tesla, is being terminated on April 30th worldwide.
• Program History:** The referral program started in 2011 and has undergone changes over the years, offering various rewards such as discounts or free Supercharging.
• Previous Promises:** Tesla initially promised substantial prizes, including a chance to win a next-gen Roadster, but later reduced the available rewards and ended the program for most products except solar roofs.
• Ongoing Credits:** Orders made before April 30th may still qualify for credits if delivered after that date, and referral credits already earned will remain redeemable after April 30th.
• Program Retiremen:** The exact details of the program's retirement are pending updates to Tesla's website, but it is expected that credits earned beforehand will be honored until their expiration dates or rewards may disappear before those dates come.
