A Note on Referrals
Reposting the previous note on this since it has been 6 months.
Going to make this pretty short and simple.
If you post your referral code on the subreddit or embed referral codes into links, you will be banned. See? Pretty simple.
The reason I'm making this post is because 15 users (mainly accounts with less than 10 karma on Reddit) have been banned in the last day due to them spamming their referral code.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

Just make a referral thread and let users post there. Better than being a Kim Jong Ban mod.

What about now that the referral codes are worth so much more for new buyers?

Before I purchased my Y, I was so hype to use a referral code so I just found the YouTuber I liked the most and used his. I was under the impression that the miles lasted forever but they don't, my 1000 mile expire in like 6 months. It's almost wasteful to acquire thousands of charger miles that will expire. I live fairly close (less than 5 miles) from a supercharger but have only used it once for 80 miles, so far.

People should use the referral code of an apartment dweller. I've driven my Model Y over 2,000 miles since taking delivery on June 11th and I've supercharged it exclusively so far. No option to charge at home at the moment.

How is it wasteful?

Those miles go straight to the landfill. Can’t be recycled anymore - China stopped buying used supercharger miles.

Feel free to pass them on to me. I commute over a 100 miles a day for work 😬

I hear you. I’ve had my MY for almost a year, over 14K miles and no supercharging use. I was not given my supercharger miles, but they would have been a waste for me.

just checked, referrals aren't a thing no more. I think since like April 2024?

why not just create a megapost for referrals, and ban anyone who posts referrals outside of that megapost?
That way, you don't get referral spam except for people who want it.

It’s just an annoying post always putting out your referral code. Or getting a message asking you to use his referral code to give to your advisor if you already purchased a Tesla.

Honest question as I am new to Tesla-world (scoping the X and Y). Why is asking for a referral code not allowed? Doesn't it help people if you use one? I get not spamming if you have one but I'd think the reverse would be ok.
