Tesla referral: UK vs US — why UK buyers don’t get free FSD
Plenty of “Tesla voucher code” sites tell UK buyers they’ll get “3 months free Full Self-Driving”. That’s a US and Canadian perk copied onto a UK page — and it’s wrong. Here’s the accurate comparison.
The benefit is market-specific
| Market | Referral benefit (2026) |
|---|---|
| US / Canada | ~3 months free FSD (Supervised) on Model 3 / Y |
| United Kingdom | 650 free Supercharging miles on Model 3 / Y |
Why the UK is different
FSD (Supervised) is not available to buy or trial in the UK as of July 2026 (VCA review; expected late 2026 / early 2027). On top of that, FSD (Supervised) moved to subscription-only in the UK from 21 May 2026. You can’t be given a free trial of something that isn’t yet approved to use on UK roads — so Tesla’s UK referral benefit is Supercharging miles instead.
What to watch for
- Any UK page promising “free FSD” via referral is repeating a US figure — treat the rest of its facts with caution.
- UK approval is expected late 2026 / early 2027 pending VCA review; we’ll update this post if that changes. We won’t state a date as fact.
