Electric car maker Tesla is putting an end to its customer referral
programme in February that allowed owners to give their friends a
referral code to get six months of free charging via the company's
"Supercharger" network.
"The Tesla customer referral program will
end on Feb 1. If you want to refer a friend to buy a Tesla and give
them six months of free Supercharging, please do so before then,"
company owner and CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Thursday.
The move comes amid a larger cost-cutting effort by the electric car company.
In
December, the company cut prices on "Model 3" in China and last week,
it discontinued the lowest-priced versions of "Model S Sedan" and "Model
X SUV", The Verge reported.
"The whole referral incentive system will end. It's adding too much cost to the cars, especially Model 3," Musk added.
The
referral programme was launched in 2015 to turn the company's
enthusiastic early adopters into real sales representatives -- where the
new buyer got perks and the owner made the referral win a variety of
prizes, the report said.
Recently the as part of the programme,
the automaker changed the incentives to prizes for referrers and
"Supercharger" access for new buyers.
According to media reports,
the referral programme had recently encountered problems, including
unfulfilled prizes and unused codes, the report added.
