About EV Order Guide and referral disclosure
EV Order Guide is an independent informational site maintained by a Tesla owner. It exists to help people ordering an electric vehicle understand the steps, the timing, and the official sources, whether or not they ever use the referral link on this site.

Who runs this site
This site is written and maintained by one person: a Tesla owner who went through the ordering, configuration, home-charging, and delivery process and wanted a single place that explains it plainly. There is no company behind it, no staff, and no editorial sponsorship.
No professional credentials are claimed. Nothing here comes from insider access to Tesla, and none of it should be treated as a statement of Tesla policy.
This site is independent of Tesla
EV Order Guide is not owned, operated, endorsed, sponsored, or reviewed by Tesla, Inc. Tesla product names are used only to describe those products accurately. No Tesla logo or Tesla-owned imagery is used here.
Referral disclosure
Referral disclosure: If you use my referral link for an eligible purchase, Tesla may provide a buyer benefit to you and may provide referral credits or another benefit to me. I do not charge you for using the link. Tesla determines eligibility and benefits.
Tesla controls the referral program end to end. Tesla decides who is eligible, what the benefit is, how long it lasts, and whether the program continues at all. Any benefit described on this site is current information at the time of the last review, not a promise about what you will receive.
Before you order, verify the current terms on Tesla's official Refer and Earn page.
What this site does not do
Nothing here is legal, tax, financial, or purchasing advice. Incentive eligibility, tax treatment, financing terms, and utility programs depend on your specific situation and change frequently. Verify anything that affects money with the issuing agency, your utility, your lender, or a qualified professional.
There are no ads, no sponsored placements, and no paid reviews on this site. Pages are not gated behind the referral link, and the information is intended to be complete without it.
How pages are kept current
Time-sensitive pages carry a visible "last reviewed" date. That date means the page was checked against official sources at that time. It does not mean the underlying program is unchanged today. Where a program changes often, the page links to the official source so you can confirm before ordering.
Corrections are welcome. If something on this site is out of date or wrong, the fastest fix is to check the linked official source and treat that as authoritative.
