New Tesla program · Verified October 31, 2026
Tesla's new FSD referral, launched October 29, 2026, can give eligible owners a one-month trial of FSD (Supervised). Here is the clear, fully disclosed version from a real Quicksilver Model 3 owner.
Referral code: cameron25011 · If you subscribe during your trial, I may receive a free month of FSD. I offer nothing extra for using my link.
Ordering a new Tesla? As of October 31, my referral page no longer shows a benefit for vehicle orders. See what changed.
You need a registered Tesla with compatible hardware, no FSD subscription or outright purchase on that vehicle, and no FSD trial or paid FSD subscription in the past 12 months. A trial you received with a new car counts. The link works only inside the Tesla app.
Read the full eligibility guideNothing for your trial alone. If you buy at least one month of FSD during the trial, Tesla may give me one free month of FSD. Tesla caps each referrer at 12 redeemed trials per calendar year.
From Tesla's FSD referral terms, effective October 29, 2026.No. This is Cameron DeJong's independent owner guide. Tesla's app and current program terms remain the source of truth.
The Owner Journal
Real-world notes on software, service, and what happens when a Tesla and Kia EV6 share the same driveway.
14.3.12 started signaling for right-turn lanes for no reason. 14.3.13 appears to fix it, Standard mode respects the speed limit far better, and Hurry mode has been good on the highway.

The real-owner difference
After driving the Model 3 consistently during our first months of ownership, we took our EV6 back onto the highway. It is still a good car. What surprised us was how complete the Tesla experience felt by comparison: the drive, software, controls, app, and connected ecosystem all feel like one idea.
“The new-car excitement has not worn off. Living with it has made us appreciate it more.”

In our first-100-days account, at about 3,000 miles, roughly 56% of our driving used FSD. Time on our own roads is what showed us its value and its limits. A free month gives other owners the same chance to decide for themselves. Our FSD trial checklist shows how we would use it.
In an earlier software version, FSD tried to reach 55 mph in our 25 mph neighborhood. I immediately overrode it and slowed down. On 14.3.13, Standard mode has been much better about the speed limit, but the driver must stay attentive and ready to intervene at all times.
We have also enjoyed using Grok for discussions and a few jokes along the way. More recently, its email connector helped me send a timely travel-delay update to a client while we were on the road. Read the dated Grok Connectors field note for what happened, how I set it up, and the limits I am still exploring. Grok remains beta, and availability can vary.
The passenger-side mirror was overextending. Tesla handled the communication through the mobile app, replaced everything that was needed, and had the car ready for same-day pickup. We did not need a loaner, but one would have been available. The communication was excellent.

The configurator made it look clean. Real light made it emotional.

We state exactly what I receive from each referral, and we never offer extra incentives.
