Can't use referral code in VA?

[HL7630]

Hi,

I am waiting for the delivery of my new 2024 Air Touring and today, I received a call from my SA saying that the referral code that I provided to him during the in-person appointment can't be tagged to the order in Virginia.

Is this a referral code-specific issue? If so, will I be able to provide my SA with a new referral code?

Either way, looking forward to my delivery at Tysons soon. I don't see recent posts mentioning about free swags but hope I can get their mug at least

The referral program is not available in Ohio and Virginia due to state laws.

Cue @segbrk crying so many tears. Y'all should get together and write a letter to your reps

Virginia is for Lovers, who don't like freedom of liquor or referral points.

I still don't understand that damn slogan. I remember it, and I remember seeing it on every plate, and I never understood why they kept it.

It was for an ad, lol! https://pressroom.virginia.org/50-years-of-love/

...or radar detectors. VA still has a ban on them, is that right?

Owning one isn't banned. Having it powered and accessible is. That is, you can keep one in your trunk for when you go over state lines, but in VA you cannot have it either powered on or accessible within reach (so you don't just unplug it when you get pulled over).

I only know this because I lived in VA and Vienna is the speed trap of all speed traps. I got tagged going 17 in a 15. I lost my mind, lol.

So essentially illegal minus the semantics.

Yeah, of course. I wasn't disagreeing with you.

I was just being pedantic because I happened to know these facts since I lived there and definitely didn't own a radar detector lol

I grew up in VA through college and it was a big no no on the radar detectors plus the crazy blue laws and ABC stores for alcohol (though I think you can get wine and beer now in some grocery stores). I designed those civil war road signs as you drive around the state as a summer design job while in Architecture school there like 30 yrs ago (https://www.civilwartrails.org/)

did you ever get them to apply it. Like maybe you can't get the credit, but can't the referring person still get credit if they're not in VA?

Virginia does not allow referral programs, period. A quick Google search shows lots of Tesla peeps upset about it too.

Write your politicians (seriously)

guess looking for people's experiences and/or what they've seen... In [quick] searching previously i've seen some people post [from tesla] that they had it slip through but very ymmv

wanted to see people's experiences with lucid and if ANYONE got it slipped through

or at least if it can apply to people who do not live in VA. So the VA resident does not get any credit, but the referrer who does not live in VA, still can get lucid credit
