Tesla extends referral program, but changes terms
Tesla Motors Inc. said Thursday it extended its referral program through the end of the year, but it has changed the program's terms. Instead of $1,000 in credits, Tesla will offer customers with the most referrals perks such as free Powerwalls (Tesla's stationary battery) and invitations to attend future Tesla events. The person to reach the highest number of referrals overall will receive a free Model S upgraded with "ludicrous speed" mode plus an all-expenses-paid trip to the launching of the Model 3, the mass-market car that Tesla will begin taking orders for in March 2016. Tesla first launched the referral program in July.
