Tesla Hack: How to save $2,400 on a new Tesla with referral codes

When it comes to buying a new Tesla, EV Life is here to help you maximize your savings–but this post is a personal one for me too.

Last week, I financed a new Tesla Model Y through EV Life and used a Tesla referral code from my friend Nick. The referral bonus Tesla offered me was a free 3 Months of Full Self Driving Capability. No advertised vehicle savings.

However, when I tested clicking Continue on “Order Your Model Y” I was surprised to see an option to “Get Your Vehicle Earlier” from available inventory at a $2,400 discount.

Note: I've tested looking for the available inventory without a referral code and it does not show any discounts. Tesla seems to be extending this offer only to customers using a referral code.

So here’s how to save up to $2,400 on a new Tesla:

• Step 1: Get a Tesla referral code from any friend who drives a Tesla. (If you don't have a Tesla friend, you can use mine: https://ts.la/peter760760)
• Step 2: Pick out your Tesla make and model
• Step 3: Click ‘Continue’ on “Order Your Model.” (You won’t be required to enter payment at this point.
• Step 4: See how much you can save on getting your vehicle from “Available Now” inventory.

I hope this Tesla savings hack can help you save on your next EV.
