Is every Model Y eligible?
All Model Y trims qualify, including the newer long-wheelbase variant. As with the Model 3 there is no trim exclusion — eligibility is decided by the model, not the configuration.
Why the Model Y specifically
The Model Y is where the two halves of the decision most often pull in opposite directions. It is the model most likely to be pushed over an incentive price cap once options are added, and it is simultaneously the model on which a European Supercharging reward is worth the most money. If a grant cap is in play, the arithmetic can favour a lower trim more than it favours any referral benefit.
What the reward converts to on a Model Y
The Model Y uses meaningfully more energy per kilometre than a Model 3 — more frontal area, more mass. Because Europe's referral reward is denominated in kilometres rather than kWh, that inefficiency works in your favour here: the same 2,000 km consumes more paid energy, so the reward offsets a bigger bill. On the German price band that difference is worth roughly a third more than the same reward on a Model 3.
In numbers: 2,000 km at 15–19 kWh/100 km is roughly 300–380 kWh of charging. Multiply by your country's Supercharger rate — the bands are on each country page — or compare all five models side by side on the models hub.
Where a Model Y sits against the incentive price caps
The Model Y is the model most likely to be pushed over them. Paint, wheels and a third row are each small on their own and collectively enough to cross Canada's CAD $50,000 EVAP line or France's bonus price cap — which is why the trim decision on a Model Y can be worth more than every referral reward on this site combined. The full cap table for all five markets is on the models hub — run your configurator total against it before you think about a code.
The mistake Model Y buyers actually make
Weight and price are the Model Y's two referral-adjacent traps, and neither is about the code. In the Netherlands road tax scales with mass, so a Model Y costs more per year than a Model 3 under the same reduced-rate regime. And a Model Y configured up with paint, wheels and seven seats is the classic way to cross Canada's $50,000 EVAP ceiling or France's bonus price cap — check the configurator total against the cap, not the headline starting price.
Applying it to a Model Y order
Open the referral link before you configure — the benefit attaches to the session, not to a code box at the end — then confirm it is listed in the order summary before you pay, and again in the Tesla app once the car is yours.
Is it worth using on a Model Y?
Yes — it is free, it changes nothing about your Model Y's price or delivery date, and every valid code gives the identical benefit, so there is no such thing as a better one. Just keep it in proportion: on a Model Y the items above move more money than the code does. Why that is, and what the code does and doesn't do.
