Hi all,

News:

http://themerkle.com/auto-outlet-sells-its-second-tesla-car-for-bitcoin/

and the news from company:

http://www.auto-outlet.fi/en/uutiset/2016/07/we-accept-bitcoins/

I think it will be interested :)

I wish I had this amount of Bitcoin and a Tesla.

Maybe yea on the BTC but the rolling steel coffin?  NO TY.

I see all cars as rolling steel coffins.   Not sure if that's what you meant or just the Tesla.  Either way,  if someone paid for a Tesla with platinum bullion I'd be just as impressed.  Not-fucking-at-all.  Anyone else feel the same way?

This is pretty nice that this is even possible and I think that people should do this more and company's has to offer more..
I really hope this will happen more and that I also can do it on a certain day.

What is so dangerous about driving a Tesla?

It's a good car but the autopilot could never be smart like humans , even if it is ... It's hackable (hard but still can be hacked) , I'm not sure about you guys but I don't want to get my car hacked in a highway. :o

Im not actually surprised that tesla got sold again for bitcoins,because mostly people using bitcoin's are getting
interested about electric cars,at least that is what i think.
Good for us,good for tesla,and good for bitcoin :D

It is not a coffin, it is the future car which you can buy today.

We are incredible lucky for that. Yes, some accidents happened and it will be happening in the future. That's how you fix bugs. If there weren't an autopilot accident, the bug will stay there and keep ticking like a bomb. Thanks god it happened sooner.

Lol i dont get why people dont like tesla
because it is an innovation?
The people who bought them just showed they are pretty fine,if they can pay for it with bitcoin :)

i had a look over one a while back. it's nice but not nice enough to justify the price. you can get a jaguar or something for far less that'll be more comfortable and better built. i didn't like the standard of the finish very much. i know it's electric and cool but i'd have to live with it day to day.

and that's an amount of coins that'll have you screaming like the pizza guy in a few years if the price carries on rising. i get pissed off enough buying a cellphone before a price rise with bitcoin.

This deal is really a high amount of bitcoins, based on the article below 200.000 Euros.
And is equal to 335BTC which probably were held by an early adopter or by a rich people.
It's not easy to buy this huge amount of bitcoins at once, and Tesla is going to make a big step supporting bitcoin.

Nice. Soon everything will be bought and sold with bitcoin  ;)

That is really huge transaction in bitcoins!
I wonder how many confirmation's that transaction needed :P
thanks to the guy that bought it,we will have our bitcoin more and more demanded :)

Guess it was double spent or zero fee :P, I think we should not care about that transaction but the fact the bitcoin was used in that deal which is not small. But a tesla does not cost 200.000 Euros?

Did you people saw "Payment method Bitcoin, once again. We can offer you any car brand, new or pre used" so basically we can buy any car with bitcoins now, and "World wide delivery!" sounds great I think. This kind of things will attract people, and for sure this is very positive promotion for bitcoin.
Now we have one more reason to keep our coins, one day we can buy even a car. Well I hope we will see new buyers soon.

For sure many people would be curious about Bitcoin because it's used to buy a tesla car. As you said this is a very positive thus we must save our btc maybe in the future many car companies would allow Bitcoin as a payment which it would be a very good news to anyone.

Being Tesla, they let you customise your car and if you chose every feature it could easily hit 200,000 Euros.

I know very well the Tesla prices and there isn't any tesla model that costs 200,000 Euros (~221,470 USD). The maximum price that a tesla can cost is 147,500 USD including taxes and other things, but the fact that was paid in bitcoin I don't think is fear to pay a double price.

it was sold in finland. most scandinavian countries have insane import duties even on ancient second hand junk. i dunno what the score is in finland but you'll be paying a hefty premium compared to the us most likely.

if even 1k purchases are made using bitcoins then tesla has automatically made a boost in bitcoin prices. I love what Elon Musk is contributing to the community of free internet and better lives. Whatever happens we can be sure that btc price would increase by this endeavour (even if it means a little change)

Soon enough other models will be sold for bitcoins, cool 8)

I'm not aware about the import duties in Finland but I'm aware that in Norway Tesla has sold lots of cars there, it is also known as the best selling car in the recent years, if the duties/tax/vat are ~$70k for a tesla car in Finland then this is absurd.

quote from The director of Auto-Outlet Helsinki Oy "The world is changing rapidly, and we want to be ahead of the game, that’s why we started the sale of a Tesla and other electric cars years ago. In this frame of reference, it is natural that we wanted to be also the first BTC’s payments accepting car dealership here in Finland.” (source new.bitcoin.com)

They are positive and will continue to support btc, thats great news for all of us, since the price of btc will increase surely

it probably isn't that insane but i wouldn't be surprised if the price is alot higher than elsewhere in europe but i know nothing about current policies.

i'll also guess that electric cars in norway don't get hit with their huge import taxes which is why they sell so many. since there ain't any norwegian made performance cars, if you wanna go fast a tesla's the cheapest option.

People who own Tesla's have many priviledges on some places in Europe, like free parking, many cheaper service comparing to the oil cars, if these cars are sold for bitcoin it's ok but for a much higher price it's not.

Yea Tesla was solded for bitcoin cryptocurrency.All Tesla companies must belong to Croatia country which is most powerful in Eastern Europe.That Tesla was Croatian boy stolen from Croatian citizents.Tesla car isnt desinged by american citizents so it was desingef by Nikola Tesla and now idea about that cars is stolen from him.

so tesla himself designed this car even though he's been dead for more than 70 years? man, he was even more of a genius than i first thought.

good to see a nature friendly electric vehicles manufacturer woke up from dead,electric vehicles is future and people unfortunately missed it 70 years back,just see now tesla getting its popularity growing day by day so their effort is not going to be wasteful

Yea that is true that Tesla desinged that car.70 years ago he created Harrp system which can change wheather.He was also knew how to created unlimited electricy power but they killed him because he was too good for American bastads in secret America organisation.America didnt    want free energy for ever body because of America we have more expensive life.

This was not a sale, it was a robbery, even more when there's Tesla representatives in Finland... You can get a Tesla directly from them for cheaper. I know: it's not for Bitcoin, but come on... Is paying with Bitcoin worth something like a 50k premium? ::)

These aren't really the merchants we need.

If they sold two Tesla's with Bitcoin then this is, if I'm not mistaken, the third Tesla being sold with Bitcoins.

It's good seeing other automotive companies accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. As far as we know, we are the one of the only North American automotive companies that accepts Bitcoin.

Here is the history from author of this Tesla
In English

https://steemit.com/money/@vindobona/impossible-is-already-possible-or-how-to-buy-a-luxury-car-for-bitcoins

Never knew that you could buy a Tesla with Bitcoin, was the Tesla sold by a person that first owned it or did you buy it straight from the dealer with Bitcoin because I did not know that that was possible.
Maybe that I am going to buy a car with my Bitcoin in the future.

This is really something extraordinary bitcoin progress. everyone will become more acquainted with bitcoin because they do a promotion that was already very well known by most people in the world (brand). Hopefully in the coming days there will be a brand that do similar things in order for growth to increasingly larger bitcoin

Tesla sld by bitcoins how do you think that is goin got happen so many peopel are investing into the bitcoin and you think that tesla wqas sold again
for just bitcoins i dont think this is really true.

This is my first time about tesla was sold through the bitcoin and i never imagine if the companies are should for accepting bitcoin,i don't know if this is a real or not but i very interesting with this.... Tesla are the best car in this year for me.... Need more researching about the source of his news..... I can't believe with this,really......

That would be nice, I think that Tesla is doing a great job by doing this, the company is really innovative and is doing a lot for new things.

Like the innovative concepts are always made by their companies about a various vehicle, but they need for using an innovative payment for their innovative product too. and that is will make another person will interesting for using and buying their innovative concept.,

I'm really loving the fact that they are doing this and that they are trusting the bitcoin on this too.
They are trying new things and that is also making them more interesting than other car company's.

With these  kind  of  act  tesla for sure  many  car companies would   do the same thing too  but who knows  when. The  company  have really trust  into bitcoin which  they decided to accept  bitcoin as  a payment  which  is  somehow  risky because we  dont  know   on the  price of bitcoin on  upcoming years.

Story doesn't tell whether the car was new or pre owned, but judging from the price it was a new car...

Its so nice that they are doing this, Tesla is for sure doing good things with the bitcoin and I think its good that they are, they are a leading company and doing this makes them even more leading in innovating than they already were.

Tesla is doing great things lately with their latest models and that they are accepting the bitcoin makes it even nicer.
I really start loving this company these days.

Its really a new car   and  no one could able to buy a 2nd  hand  tesla car and they  wont announce it  on public if it bought on 2nd hand , for sure its a brand new  one. REally glad to hear this  type of news where bitcoins  adoption is already scattering  on some merchants not  only on small ones  but on  big businesses,

Do you can imagine this 2 guy talking with theirs grandchildren in the future?
"I bought the first(or second) car in the world using Bitcoin"
Well, we know a history about a pizza, what if the bitcoin price have a big raise? The tesla guys will be the new "meme"?

Just joking... Nice to see news like that!

That  pizza guys  is somehow  a nightmare for me when  i imagine that  guy  bought  pizza for 10k bitcoin which is really insane but   as we all know  we cant predict on the future thats why we have  no idea  on what would be the price in next years. Tesla would definitely ready for that hence they are accepting  bitcoin on their  business.

Tesla is a very nice car, I would like to have one. Tesla represents new, inovative technologies so somehow it's logical to me that it could be bought for Bitcoins. If Tesla dealers and retailers are supporting cryptocurrencies that is a big step forward. Who knows what else could we also buy in the future with Bitcoin.

Impressive news.

Both TESLA and Bitcoin have so much in common.

TESLA=Bittorent=Bitcoin my three heroes.

I wish to live in a country where everyone owns TESLA as their car, use bitcoin as their cash, watches TV from torrent. :)

Name for the country: The pirates bay :D (preferably an island)

That's funny because oil industry rules the world and tesla is fighting against, governments rules the world with fiat currencys and bitcoin is fighting against and film industried rules the world but piracy is fighting against....
Well, maybe both aren't fighting but it's a option...
