You can finally buy your Tesla with Bitcoins or Altcoins through the OpenBazaar marketplace. :o

Check the listing here:

Currently it is only possible to ship within the EU.

Well, this is a good start.  Never used OB, but can't you pretty much buy anything there and doesn't Tesla accept bitcoin for their cars anyway?  It'll be a good day when Honda and Mercedes accept dogecoin at their dealerships.  We'll know right then we've made serious progress in getting the word out there that crypto is gold.  One day.

Anyone here own a Tesla?  They any good?

FYI on Duosear.ch it says BTC 106.169 (EUR 129,900.00), but on OpenBazaar it says 57.37227051 BTC ($148,243.06)

Thank you for noticing! The only correct price is on OpenBazaar. So luckily the lower one.

*Luckily* :D. But yes this is some good news, how come Tesla does not accept it straight away though? Kind of sucks spending $150k through OpenBazaar. I figured Elon would be knee deep in crypto by now, perhaps not.

Nonetheless, nice find and thank you for sharing. I don't own a Tesla. One could always dream though...

This is a cool offering, are you the one who runs the listing on OpenBazaar or simply sharing the information?

Damn...

I just read in the newspaper today that Tesla isnt generating that much sales and stuff. I think the cars the companies produce is great, it's just that unfortunately I happen to not be able to afford it.

P2P sales are great, it opens up room for so much more negotiation and ultimately drive better deals. Bitcoin is here to make global P2P trading possible!

Why aren't there actual photos of the car being shown in the ad?

Yes we run the listing.


We can only show the original photos, because the car comes directly from Tesla.

That being said. Therefore the cars are in very excellent condition.

Wow tesla, one of my dream car :D Since bitcoin exchange has it's fee, do we have to pay more bitcoins to them? I mean we have exchange fee + they have also exchange fee.

i think i don't want to buy tesla with my bitcoin because its not worth for me and its better to buy another thing that will help my life. if only buying a car, i think i will choose another type and with the cheap price than buying the tesla. all in all, its too expensive for me to just buying a car like tesla.

Yes, but with bigger numbers it has less fee.  :)

what price you want offered??

Are you asking how much he wants for the Tesla? They have listed the price on OB at around $150k or approx. 57BTC (Can vary).

If you are asking if he's taking offers.. I doubt it. Seems to be a case of reselling Tesla cars using BTC as the form of payment.

If you are asking something else, I don't know how to respond  ???

mean him want to buy it, ready bitcoin, right? hhmmm...

Correct, but the Dollar is cheaper as the EURO is.
So that will be the reason for it.

Is there actually any point to buying it directly in bitcoin rather than first going through an exchange? I mean aside from ideological reasons.

This is not really news. There have been Tesla sales for years now.
Look at just overstock cars, you can buy any car you want at just that one site.

This is about getting a Tesla for Bitcoins/Altcoins, not just getting a tesla. Did you even read the op before posting? Evidentely not.

I think this serivce that OP offers is amazing, imagine getting those ~60BTC around 4 years ago and exchange them for a Tesla today. That's a story I'd love to hear.

do people really use openbazaar?"everytime i installed it there are problems

That's like saying "Fuck WV, hitler was a bad man so I'd rather drive a volvo".. But you do not say that do you? Don't attach one person to a product. As shown, even the most evil of people can make it possible for next to everyone to own a car. As for your comment regarding his idea for basic income. I think you are wrong in your statement. But that's a topic for another time and definitely another place.

Do you check what every CEO of every product that you purchase thinks of this or that? Because if you don't, you are a hypocrite. Take your breakfast for example, do you check what the CEO of the companies producing those groceries think about certain things that you might not agree with? Just seems incredibly stupid to go by that. At least Elon Musk is innovating and doing good things for the world, rather than some other CEO's of some other companies who are basically destroying the planet and such...

Ah so you get a local organic breakfast, that's great. What about your technology? Your schampoo, your shirt or other clothes? Seems stupid to me that you will base one mans opinion above all and decide that you will not buy a great product due to that fact. I'm not too sure you are seeing this from my POV. but then again I doubt there's anything I can say to change your mind.

So yeah, the universal basic income may be shit, maybe it won't, we'll never know until it actually happens. But if we'd all drive a Tesla at least the world would look a little bit better.

Yeah, I never did and I actually thought it failed and that no one used it.  I could have heard wrong.

How much do you think the transaction fee would be buying a tesla?  It costs me near $8 just to spend $60.  Might be a better idea to pay with fiat, no?

If it costs you $8 to send $60 you are doing something wrong.

And it does not really matter how much you spend, the fee does not really increase that much if you send more. May I ask you what kind of wallet you use? $8 just seems so so wrong..

Mycelium, and that's on the low priority option.  There's not a way to go lower than that that I know of.  I didn't end up actually sending that $60 because of the fee--it's just too damn high.  And if I accumulated enough to buy a tesla, it would be from many transactions coming in to my wallet.  I know I'm a complete tech dumbass, but wouldn't that cause the fee to increase?

Compared to a traditional vehicle running on fossile fules it sure is more green. You can't deny that. The reason for not using electric equipment to dip up the earth, not using solar to refine it and not using solar to transport could be that it is not possible. Perhaps it would either cost too much or there is no way to justify it as there are not enough means.

There's always better to be a little green over not being green at all.

You are correct that more inputs = higher fee. But an $8 fee for sending $60 on low priority still sounds so wrong. Either mycelium is acting up and has some issues right now or there's something else going on. Try importing your wallet/s to the core client or something similar, might have better success using that. I've sent some transactions the past two days from both Core and online services, I've barely been close to $1 in fee's and I've been sending amounts ranging from $20-$300.

Getting out off topic there  ;). I could use a Tesla if someone doesn't want one.
