KUALA LUMPUR: Tesla Malaysia today announced the start of a "Refer and Earn" programme as it strives to pump up sales of the Model 3 and Model Y.
Tesla owners will receive RM1,050 worth of credits for each person referred and who takes delivery of the car. Credits can be used to pay for DC fast charging at Tesla's "Superchargers", merchandise or service payments.
The first 10 individuals who buy a new Tesla using the Tesla owner’s referral code will enjoy RM2,100 off their purchase price.
Here's how it works:
> Tesla owners access unique referral links through Tesla app.
> Share the referral link with friends and family to place order.
> Earn rewards once the referred individual takes delivery of their new Tesla.
