You Can Buy A Tesla With Bitcoin Now
You Can Buy A Tesla With Bitcoin Now-September 2024

Image for article titled You Can Buy A Tesla With Bitcoin Now

Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted early Wednesday that you can now buy a Tesla with bitcoin, the cryptocurrency. Despite the tweet coming at 3:02 a.m. EST, this seems a bit more premeditated than your typical late-night Twitter shenanigans.

I say that because Tesla up on its website that was posted around the time of Musk’s tweet; there is also that Google says was posted around the same time as well.

Here are the relevant tweets:

And here is an excerpt from said :

Initiate payment from your Bitcoin wallet. You can either scan the QR code or copy and paste the Bitcoin address and the exact Bitcoin amount into your wallet.

If you did not send the exact amount due for your order deposit, your order may be cancelled. If you did not send the exact amount due for final amount due on your car, it may cause a delay in the delivery of your car.

[...]

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency Tesla accepts.

We are only supporting Bitcoin for customers in the continental United States. We will consider expanding into new markets in the future.

We will not receive the transaction and it will likely result in a loss of funds for you.

Tesla that it expected to accept bitcoin as payment at some point. The company had invested $1.5 billion in the cryptocurrency, so it’s not like this is a big surprise.

And there is probably a substantial number of people out there who will hear this news and it will make sense to them, either because they too are invested in bitcoin and operating in that world is not a foreign prospect or because they live in California and the word cryptocurrency is a part of their lingua franca.

Not me, however, as I still believe in the American dollar, though news like this always makes me feel like the kind of person who stuffs themattresses with dollar bills, itself a cliche as I’m not sure those people still exist. Bitcoin is currently trading at around $56,600 per unit, up 4 percent today. A year ago a Bitcoin was worth a little over $6,700.

Which means that a single Bitcoin will get you at least a Model Y.

Stop Being Horny For The Cars
is, by most accounts, a good-looking grand tourer. With more than 600 horsepower and a zero-to-60 time in the low three second range, it’s undeniably quick, and apparently, it’s quite fun to drive. What it is not, however, is a sexy, curvaceous Italian that’s finally gone topless. Talking about...

If You're Looking To STI-Swap And Lift A Subaru Forester For Off-Road Adventures, Then Boy Do I Have The Car For You
Just based on the photo shown here, you might assume I have a cool old Subaru Forester. Unfortunately for me, the truth is that I used to have a cool old Forester. As the license plate suggests, that picture was taken back when I lived in California. It was...

BYD’s Dolphin Is A Cheap EV With A Striking Organic Interior Design
Today I was watching CarGurus UK’s video review of the Dolphin, an electric hatchback with a base price in the U.K. of around £26,000, the equivalent of about $33,000. Current interior trends are leaning toward and deletion of physical switchgear, but the BYD Dolphin proves two things – car...

You Had To Square Dance In School Because Henry Ford Hated Jazz
I’m not sure if they torture kids like this still, but the worst four-week period of my 6th grade life was our unit on square dancing in gym class. And wouldn’t you know it? One of the worst experiences of my academic life — and possibly yours as well...

Half-Eleven Is The V8-Powered Porsche Hot Rod You Never Knew You Wanted
The Half11 project has been a several-year process behind . The idea behind this ridiculous car is the kind of thing only a kid could dream up, as they long ago dreamed about smashing a 911 and an IndyCar together. They started with the rusty shell of an old...
