According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has updated its U.S. referral program, offering 3 free months of Full Self-Driving (FSD) or $500 off when purchasing FSD on a Model 3 or Y for new buyers, while referrers receive up to $500 in credits. This move highlights Tesla's focus on expanding adoption of its AI-powered FSD technology, leveraging incentives to increase market penetration and data collection for AI-driven autonomous systems. The strategy supports Tesla's ongoing effort to commercialize advanced driver assistance and self-driving features, creating new business opportunities in the automotive AI sector.
