How I Preordered a Tesla Model 3 With Bitcoin

In 2010 the first Bitcoin purchase was made for two pizzas from Papa Johns. By 2011, it was possible to purchase Alpaca socks, and in 2012 VPN access. Today, I preordered a Tesla Model 3 for 2.413612 BTC. When I first read about Tesla Motors, it was in regards to the release of the Tesla Roadster in 2007 on Slate. I remember reading the statistics of the vehicle thinking, how is it possible for an electric vehicle to possibly have a 0–60 time that rivals that of the latest model Ferrari. The reality of such acceleration for an electric vehicle seemed illogical at the time. I was left....

Crypto Biz: Elon Musk: The ultimate crypto tourist

Tesla's foray into Bitcoin may have been one big distraction for the electric vehicle maker, which reported mixed financial results earlier this month. Elon Musk’s Tesla proved to be the ultimate paper hands after the electric vehicle maker sold 75% of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings in the second quarter. I say, good riddance. The cult of personality isn’t good for Bitcoin, and neither is a technologist who treats the asset as his plaything. As far as we are aware, Musk hasn’t sold any of his personal Bitcoin stash and Tesla still has an estimated 10,800 BTC on its books. Still, the less we....

Tesla Motors: No Comments on Accepting Bitcoin

With recent news that a customer purchased a Tesla electric vehicle from Lamborghini Newport Beach, some have raised the question: why doesn't Tesla sell their vehicles to customers directly with bitcoin? It's an interesting question, so we set out to get in touch with the company regarding the matter. Unfortunately, we didn't receive much. They were quick to get back in touch, but the company says that: "Tesla does not have an official stance at this point", and "No comment from us." It's understandable. Very few companies in the automotive business are accepting anything but U. S.....
