The next-generation Tesla Roadster appears to be inching closer to production as Teslarati is reporting the model will become a prize for owners who make a lot of referrals.
According to the site, the reward is part of the company's popular Referral Program and people who have already made a number of successful referrals have noticed a special loot box in the Tesla app.
The loot box says "You’ve unlocked the first secret level. Refer 5 more friends for the ability to purchase a Founder’s Series next gen Roadster at a 10% discount. Unlock new levels with every 5 referrals for an additional 2% off per referral and amazing adventures that money can’t buy.”
The loot box went on to say owners can eventually knock off 100% percent from the purchase price of the upcoming roadster to receive the car for free. That works out to be 50 referrals but the program appears to be limited to just the Model S and the Model X.
Giving away cars doesn't seem like a sound idea until you consider the entry-level Model S 75 starts at $69,500 so 50 new orders would net the company millions.
