Polestar has announced that it will be introducing a customer referral program similar to the one Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) had for its early adopters. Unfortunately for Polestar owners, it won’t be as lucrative as the $1,000 or even free vehicles that Tesla offered in its early days. Polestar’s referral program will mostly be in the form of charging credits for existing users, although US owners look like they will be receiving a bundle of Google products to use at home. While it’s hard to compare with what Tesla once offered, it is certainly a step in the right direction for Polestar who are trying to penetrate the US market which has so far been dominated by Tesla.
GGPI stock price
Speaking of Tesla, CEO Elon Musk backtracked on his comments of reducing his workforce by 10% last week. The comments on Friday caused shares of Tesla to drop by nearly 10%. Since then, Musk corrected the claim, citing that Tesla will be actually adding workers this year but potentially reducing its total salary count. This means it is likely executives and office workers that will be cut from the company.
