Privacy and disclosures

The site

Independent guide, not affiliated with Tesla, Inc. Order buttons use a Tesla referral link; product links may earn a commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Prices and specs are estimates for planning, checked against Tesla's published figures.

Order links

"Order" buttons across GetTesla open Tesla's website through a Tesla referral link. If you order a qualifying vehicle after opening that link, Tesla gives you 3 months of FSD (Supervised) free and pays the referrer $250 in Tesla Credits. Your price does not change. The button passes through gettesla.com/go/order, which picks which of our referral codes to use and counts the click for that code; it stores nothing about you. See how the referral works for the current terms.

GetTesla receives Tesla Credits (store credit at Tesla) when you order through this link. It costs you nothing extra and the benefit comes from Tesla.

Product links

Product recommendations link to retailers through affiliate programs. As an Amazon Associate, GetTesla earns from qualifying purchases. Other retailers may pay a commission on sales made through our links. Commissions never change the price you pay and never change which products we list. An item we have used on our own car says so on its page; the rest are chosen from owner reviews and the makers’ fit information, and say that too.

Some brands we feature by name work with GetTesla: a brand may send us a product to try, sponsor us, or pay a commission on sales through our links. Their products are marked "Featured partner", or "Sponsor" when the brand pays to be featured, with a small gold mark that says which, in a sentence you can open by tapping, clicking or hovering it. Links to them are marked sponsored, and what we write about a product is ours. Today: A brand we work with. They sent us a product to try, and we may earn a commission if you buy. They don’t pay to be featured.

Across the site, the affiliate statement above sits behind the same gold mark, labelled "Affiliate links".

Analytics

We use Plausible, a cookieless analytics service. It counts page views and clicks on outbound links, order (referral) links and product links (which product and which retailer). It also counts a few anonymous events: that a calculator showed a result (which calculator, model and state), that the quiz finished (which model it matched), and that the delivery checklist was printed or its closing links used. In the Wrap Studio it counts that the studio opened, which pattern was picked, that the download form was shown and sent (which car, and whether the brief was ticked), and that a file was downloaded (which car and pattern); never the address. Order-link clicks carry where on the site the link was and, on tool pages, the vehicle and figure shown beside it. Plausible records no personal data, sets no cookies and uses no cross-site identifiers.

We also use Google Analytics 4, which sets first-party cookies (_ga) to tell visits apart. It counts page views and the same product and order link clicks, with where on the site the link was, the retailer, and the product. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. If your browser is set to a European time zone (the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland), Google Analytics stays off and sets no cookies until you press Accept on the banner; Cookie settings at the bottom of every page changes your answer, and withdrawing it deletes the cookies. Anywhere else, you can block it with a content blocker or Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Calculators

Everything you type into a calculator stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to us.

Delivery checklist

Your checked items are saved in your browser's local storage so they survive a refresh. Clearing site data removes them. The car you pick is saved the same way. "Email me this checklist" sends one email with your ticks and keeps nothing; ticking "also send me the brief" there starts the brief's confirmation.

The brief

If you sign up for the weekly brief, we email a link to confirm; nothing is stored before you tap it. Your address then lives with Resend, our email provider, and is used for the brief alone: never sold, never shared with a partner or an advertiser. Every email has a one-tap unsubscribe link, which removes you from the list. Plausible counts that a signup form was sent (which page), not the address.

Wrap Studio

Designing in the Wrap Studio happens in your browser. An image you add is resized and drawn there and is never uploaded. The first time you download a wrap on a device, we ask for your email and send you the file with the install steps, through Resend, our email provider.

We keep a record of that download: your email address, which car the wrap is for, the design itself (as the short code in its share link, not the file), the page and any campaign tags in its address, whether you ticked the brief, whether the email went out, the time, and a one-way scrambled form of your IP address that we use only to stop abuse. We use it to send the file and to resend it if you ask. It is never sold or shared, and you are not added to any mailing list unless you also tick the brief and confirm it. To have the record deleted, write to us from the address you used.

Hosting

Pages are served by Hostinger, which keeps standard server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) for security and debugging.
