Step 3: Confirm your 650 free Supercharging miles
UK programme verified: · figures re-checked against tesla.com/en_gb
The final check. Make sure the referral benefit shows before you pay, know when the miles arrive, and — once you own the car — how to share your own link.
Check the order summary before you pay
Before you confirm payment, look for the referral benefit line in your order summary — the free Supercharging miles. If it's there, you're set. If it isn't, stop: reopen your link from Step 1 and start a fresh configuration (see Step 2). The benefit cannot be added after the order is placed.
What you get: 650 free Supercharging miles
On a new Model 3 or Model Y, the UK referral adds roughly 650 miles of free Supercharging to your Tesla account — worth about £70–£100 in real charging. It is not an FSD trial (that's the US/Canada benefit) and not a flat £500. See the full £ breakdown →
When the miles arrive, and exactly where to check
After you take delivery, not at purchase. Allow a little time after handover for the miles to appear — here's what that looks like on screen, so you know where to check rather than just "your account":
- Tesla app → your car → Charging—
- Supercharging credit650 mi
- Appliedafter delivery
If it still isn't there after a couple of weeks, don't assume it's lost: contact Tesla directly with your order number and delivery date, and quote the referral link or code you ordered through.
Now you're an owner: share your link
Once you own a Tesla, you can refer others and earn Tesla account credits (usable on Supercharging, some software upgrades and the Tesla Shop) when they take delivery — up to 10 referrals per calendar year, with Supercharging credits that generally expire around 12 months after they're granted. Find your link in the Tesla app → profile → Refer and Earn. To add it to our fair rotation, read the owner earn guide or contact us — we add codes as data only, never a page per code.
What actually counts as proof
This page is the confirm step, so it's worth being precise about what you're confirming and what you'd be able to show later if something goes wrong. There are three different moments people call "confirmation", and only one of them is evidence.
| What you have | Does it prove the referral attached? |
|---|---|
| The referral link resolved and opened Tesla's store | No. A link resolving proves the link works, nothing more. It resolves identically on an ineligible order that will never produce a benefit. |
| Someone told you the code is valid | No. Validity is about the code, not about your order. A live code applied in the wrong sequence produces nothing. |
| The referral line was in your order summary before payment | Yes. This is the only artefact that shows the benefit was attached to your order. It is also the only one that disappears the moment you pay. |
Which leads to the one instruction on this page worth acting on: screenshot the order summary before you pay. It takes five seconds, and it is the difference between a claim you can support and a conversation you can't win.
If the miles don't appear after delivery
Everything turns on the answer to a single question, and your screenshot answers it.
- The line was there before payment, and nothing arrived after delivery. This is a genuine case and the only scenario where you're on solid ground. Contact Tesla, state the order number, say the referral line appeared in the summary, and attach the screenshot. You're reporting a discrepancy, not asking a favour.
- The line wasn't there, or you don't know. Then the failure happened before payment, and it isn't recoverable. Support can't retro-fit a referral to a completed order, and pressing the point mostly costs goodwill you'd rather spend on your delivery inspection.
Give it a reasonable window before raising anything. Credit is granted around delivery rather than instantly, so an empty account on handover day is normal rather than a fault.
Then set one reminder
The last thing on the checklist, and the one most people skip: Supercharging credit carries a validity window rather than sitting in your account indefinitely. Unused miles expire, and an expired benefit is worth exactly what a benefit you never received is worth.
On delivery day, note the date and put a reminder a few months out. If you're a mostly-home charger who rarely uses the network, that reminder is the difference between using the benefit and quietly losing it — and it's worth planning one longer trip around it rather than hoping the miles get consumed incidentally.
Is the UK scheme still active?
Yes, as of 13 July 2026. New Model 3 and Model Y orders qualify. Model S/X eligibility is changing and Cybertruck isn't sold in the UK. We re-check before each update, and the definitive test is your own order summary.
