On March 24, 2021, it was confirmed that Tesla cars can now be bought with Bitcoins. The company CEO, Elon Musk, wrote about this in a tweet: ‘You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin’. It should be noted that at present this applies only to U.S. buyers, but in the near future everyone will have this opportunity.

Tesla accepts cryptocurrency at a $1 = 0.000018 BTC rate. It is easy to calculate that the base Tesla Model S will cost almost one and a half Bitcoin ($79,990 is 1.43982 Bitcoin). So if you have a Bitcoin wallet, you can scan a special QR code or personally enter a Bitcoin address and the exact amount of payment. You can pay from only one wallet. And yes, Tesla does not accept cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. https://www.tesla.com/support/bitcoin

But if we think about it, Tesla has already invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin (resulting in a 20% rate increase) and said it had no plans to get rid of Bitcoins ‘for a long time’. No need to waste the investment! After Musk’s announcement, the Bitcoin price has already gone up 2.82% to $55,362. https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin

And do you have Bitcoins?
