Man realizes $3,300 worth of Tesla credits are about to expire so starts spending them on unusual items

A man realized he had around $3,300 Tesla credits in his account, and less than a day to spend them, so he went on a wild shopping spree.

Tesla credits are basically reward points earned by referring friends to buy certain products or buying them yourself. 

The points can be redeemed for a bunch of different things, including use of Superchargers, vehicle upgrades, services, and accessories. 

But the credits come with an expiration date, as Tesla owner and YouTube content creator Jack Massey Welsh recently found out.

He snapped up some ‘magical items’ from the Tesla shop

Jack has managed to accrue a mind-boggling amount of Tesla credits after convincing hundreds of people to use his special referral link. 

He previously revealed that he has used some of those credits to charge his EV for free at Supercharger stations and bought three wall chargers. 

But even after spending all of those credits, he still had around $3,300 worth of Tesla credits left, and just 23 hours to use them 

So, he opened up the Tesla app and snapped up a bunch of unusual accessories and merch, or ‘magical items, as he referred to them.

In a recent clip, Jack unboxed the items, and it’s a bizarre haul. 

First up, he got himself a pretty cute Tesla Optimus bot action figure that looked identical to the real thing, only far smaller, of course. 

Although Jack got all the items for free, thanks to his Tesla credits, the toy bot would usually set you back a little over $45, which the YouTuber thought was overpriced for what it was. 

As well as the action figure, he also bought a 1:8 scale diecast model of a Tesla Roadster that came with its own certificate. 

This one looked more premium and collectible than the bot, but also came with a heftier $200 price tag. 

Adding more toys to his growing collection, Jack got a 20th Anniversary Speedform Set that came with mini metal models of Tesla’s full lineup, including the Cybertruck and Semi, which, at around $280, was the most expensive thing he bought. 

He also used his Tesla credits on some more useful items

For those not content with just driving a Tesla, the carmaker also sells clothing, including a coat, which Jack admitted was very cosy. 

Although with a price tag of about $88, he also thought it was a little steep. 

“They slap the Tesla logo on it, and the price doubles every time,” he said. 

Other useful items he snapped up included a handy wireless charger, which cost more than $100, and a $126 glow lantern, which would be great for camping trips. 

Not all of the products were a win, though. 

Jack got some glass faceplates for his Tesla wall chargers, which are priced at around $127 each, but then discovered that they weren’t actually compatible with his chargers. 

Ouch.
