Both  ;D, i'll wait untill it reaches 100k, then buy a new car ;)
That being said, i'm a fan of Toyota, so i might have to wait untill they accept BTC payments...

I don't think so.
I'll use my BTC to borrow the $.
Borrow twice the amount needed. Half for the Tesla, half to buy some more BTC.

6 months the BTC will double or more.

You just got a Tesla for free!

Good Idea

When Toyota will receive BTC the price can be $1M...

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Don't have to do that because Tesla said that the bitcoin purchase isn't going to be converted into fiat which means that the Tesla cars that are going to be sold in that manner has a fixed bitcoin price but I do agree that waiting for the 100k USD is a bit of an attractive thing to not spend my bitcoin but if I were to have the bitcoin and the opportunity to buy a Tesla car, I think that I will be buying it.

Likely Tesla is going to own Toyota.
(unless Toyota performs a solid state battery technology miracle magic)

Right you cannot even sell a used Prius. Gotta pay someone to haul it away.
Remember, Freemont used to be a Toyota factory.

Tesla can buy Toyota only if it will be for sell... I don't see it happening in the next 10 years

I do wish a Tesla, but I may have to wait for more. Maybe 10x higher pricing for Bitcoin for two reasons:
1. I don't have too much Bitcoin and I want to spend it better than "just a car"
2. My country doesn't have good enough charging infrastructure to actually make sense buy an electric car. Meanwhile I also hope that better batteries will be invented and built.

Well, I also noticed about elon musk recent tweet. I am not going to buy tesla with bitcoin. I am holding a amount of btc. But, that's not enough to buy a tesla. :-[

Just a sequence is needed here! Wait for bitcoin to reach 100k and then buy a Tesla maybe! Lol!

Actually, car is a depreciating investment. Even though car has now become a necessity but still a car will depreciate its value over a period of time. So I would definitely like to go for a real estate investment rather than a car! For me a small hatchback is enough instead of a swanky Tesla!

But anyway, that's my way of thinking for sure!

No doubt Tesla is ruling the electronic vehicle market and sales have increased in the past.Now Elon Musk announcement of Tesla accepting btc payments have surged the btc prices above by 3% and many will be willing to do so but I am not on that list because I have my own reasons for which I am not spending my Bitcoins for just purchase of Tesla.Here are some of my reasons.

List of Tesla cars and their prices 2021:

 MODEL:                     BASE PRICE:

1)Tesla Model 3.        $38,690
2)Tesla Model S.        $81,190
3)Tesla Model X.        $91,190
4)Tesla Model Y.         $41,190
5)Tesla Roadster.       $200,000   

So this is base price for some of the Tesla models and taking into consideration the depreciation effect there is average depreciation of 10-15% in EV industry so it can roughly be estimate that after 5-6 years the value of Tesla model will be less than half what you have spend.

Bitcoin prices are now at $56k and are recovering once again to cross $60k mark (which this news will surely take it to that) and they will be surging at high levels.In coming 5-6 years Bitcoins you are holding will be approximately 7-8 times more than your base investment or holdings.Suppose the Bitcoin prices reach $100k next year which will be double from $50k in 2021 then you could surely buy Tesla with that because you will be having both your Bitcoins and Tesla also if you are willing to have it.

Musk is very sharp minded and he is also accepting this payment because he knows value of Dollar has been depreciated over time and its no fun in getting USD rather he would ask for btc payments which will surely boost the companies profit with increase in prices and he will be holding btc supply as well.So be smart and save your coins for the future.

^ If I am not in hurry I will.
But I will prefer to choose HODL than spending using to buy a new car, once I saw my profit was doubled that is the time I will buy a new car but not Tesla.
Ferrari is my dream car. When they will accept BTC?

No, I don't want to buy Tesla using bitcoin. I prefer to buy a house than a car, and even if I want to buy a car, I will buy an economical car that I can use in the city, even if I have many bitcoins. Buying a house and rent it will give me additional income, which can help me to increase my money amount ;D

If you buy a luxury car, you need to think about the registrations, the fee every year, and the spare parts if the car needs a change or damage. Even if you have a lot of money, that will need some allocation to take care of that cars. But that will be up to you because every people will have their own plan.

In 2027 maybe :)

Everything is actually marketing, it achieves its goal of capturing interest in some people to think about buying a car with bitcoin, unless you have plenty of it is not really the best investment destination.

In any case, if there is something that is depreciated in value after being acquired, it is a car, not counting maintenance expenses.

To be honest, if I have enough Bitcoin to Buy Tesla then most likely would attempt to buy one. Doesn't matter the current price. Because I thought is, use bitcoin for life. Who knows that I will alive until Bitcoin reaches $100K? We don't know exactly when it would happen. I am sure a few millionaires will buy Tesla with Bitcoin since there is an opportunity. A big company that accepts Bitcoin like Tesla is a great adaption for Bitcoin. That's how some other big companies would attempt to accept Bitcoin for payment.

If I find value in the Tesla, I don't mind sacrificing my BTC for it.
It makes sense to me spending my money on things I need to feel and touch that is the value I derive from stacking up my bitcoin. It is still considerable If I have enough BTC I will definitely spend few of them on Tesla.
Lol, has there been any news of recent linking Toyota to cryptocurrency? There has to be a foundation for a roof to be placed. I would love to see this as well.

Due to that Tesla is now accepting bitcoin as a method of payment through their customers meaning a lot of people or probably potential customer will try to buy this Tesla products through the used of bitcoin, but if you were going to ask me if I will be use my bitcoin in order to buy Tesla then probably know because there's a big chance that the bitcoin will surge again the price so it would be better if we will not use it for now to buy products and just use it as an investment for now.

A practical decision despite of the good offer that Tesla was giving to everyone. The mere fact that you can have a chance to buy a Tesla car with the use of bitcoin without converting it into fiat was already a good service but to think of a Tesla car was also expensive i will also wait for a bitcoin to have a worth of $100k each. And also, a car is depreciating in it's value so does it mean that bitcoin is more valuable than Tesla car, i think i'll think of it harder.

Hi there Cryptokobi, just found that tweet by Elon at https://twitter.com/elonmusk then immediately I have been amazed at how bitcoin could be used to buy an innovative car of tesla. This could be the reason why tesla bought a lot of bitcoin a couple of months ago. However, he iterates that bitcoin received as a payment for a tesla car will remain a bitcoin. This shows that Tesla has a very storing confidence that someday the bitcoin price will skyrocket to the moon. The next probable post is "Do you want to visit the Moon or Mars? you could do that with just a couple of bitcoin" LOL.

Buy Bitcoin and you lose about 0.5% due to fees and spread,,, that is okay. You can sell it right back and get back almost equal value, maybe a little bit more,,, and maybe a little bit less.

Buy Tesla and you lose more than 50% immediately on the resale value before you even sit inside it. And I am using just a normal car example on market. Tesla and rarer cars you lose probably even much more. And after you use it, it becomes used car at 20% price.

In many years to come, it could be just a cents in price if I buy it with Bitcoin.
I think I should wait higher than that price. I am not that too much into cars just yet, cause I am mostly working at home.

It's probably more worth to hodl just yet :D .

if you are in the market to buy a Tesla and have Bitcoin, why not?
At $100k most hodlers will be showing a nice profit so there is a school of
thought out there that says you should "take your profits".

Personally I wouldnt buy a new car unless I was in a position to change
it every year or two years.

surely someone will try to buy it. This is a big adoption made by Tesla, of course this will have the support of some of the big holders of bitcoin. They will try to buy a Tesla car using bitcoin payments. wait for sure some videos of people buying Tesla cars with bitcoin.

I hope other automakers and retailers realize they might boost their sales (and profits) by a significant value, simply by supporting bitcoin / crypto adoption. It would be amazing to see BTC go mainstream and be more officially recognized.

Teslas somehow don't receive much recognition for being faster than ferraris, lamborghinis and most exotic and luxury cars on the market. The thing that stands out the most about tesla vehicles is Elon Musk's strange obsession for putting sunroofs on everything. Someday I would like Elon Musk to build a submarine simply because I never saw one with a sun roof before.

2022 drawing nearer by the day, I suspect the tesla cybertruck could eventually overshadow the tesla sedans. Assuming it can follow through on its promises, its greater functionality and efficiency could be aspects to be appreciated. Especially with truck and SUV markets being dominated by big, fuel inefficient, V8 and diesel engines. A class of vehicle offering perhaps the largest fuel mileage benefits for an EV.

People are classified into two different things when it comes to their bitcoin holdings which is;
•The ones who do look after with profits for long term hodls
•The ones who had been supporting bitcoin basing off into its true usage or where it should really be applied.

Who's gonna buy Tesla using Bitcoin? Pretty much sure that those millionaires made by bitcoin will definitely buying one if they do have the chance.
that would only be a piece of dust on buying one for the sake of testing out or some show off some complimentary on the financial freedom that they had attained
because of bitcoin but overall using up bitcoin neither on a big purchase or a small one is just a matter of preference most of the time.

Unfortunately even though the Bitcoin pump price hit $ 100k, I still couldn't afford a Tesla. Because the amount of Bitcoin I have is very small,
I am still in the process of collecting Bitcoin every month from now on. Hopefully in the next 5 years I can buy a Tesla, because indeed the Tesla is
one of my dream cars. But I am very happy to know that now we can buy Tesla directly using Bitcoin.

do you need a key to buy tesla with bitcoin?
Thought so.
crap! I need the keys. ;D

For me, I do not think I will buy a car at all, but if I had the option I would prefer to wait until the bitcoin reaches 100k$, if you buy now you will pay double the price of the car, whereas if I waited for the bitcoin to rise, I would have a modern car at a low price.
Meaning, instead of buying a Tesla Model S car now, you can wait a little longer and buy a Tesla Model X car by the same amount of Bitcoin .

Bitcoin might be 100k by the time this goes live...or worth much less  ;D. I think I'd purchase one if they roll this out in the UK. I want a cyber truck so I'm hoping they scale them down a little and release them in the UK as they'd be too big for UK roads right now. Buying a cyber truck with bitcoin would definitely seem like the future  :D.

it is a matter of consumerism, you will buy Tesla, or you will not buy it

I would not recommend buying Tesla with BTC, if you hold BTC as your savings, it is for people that earn BTC for living, and now they have a way to spend it, without exchange to fiat first
on the other side, Tesla is not selling cars for BTC, they are selling it for fiat, but you can also pay in BTC, since i did not hear that Tesla model 3 will cost 0,6 BTC constant (price will fluctuate daily based on BTC price)

Chances that there are people who will support this, those who have enough Bitcoin will buy Tesla car to show

things publicly and attract other investors to bring in their money to this industry. Business is always business

and publicity's always behind.



Why rush things out if you can have much better if you keep holding, such idea will also help Bitcoin to reach

that value, more holders more pressures to push the value high.

The logistics is going to be expensive especially with Tesla since it is an American company so imports is going to be expensive, if the logistics weren't a problem and I have the bitcoin to buy one then I might go for it but the reality of the situation is stronger, I don't have enough bitcoin and imported cars are far more expensive compared to local brands that are already established, not to mention that a Tesla in my crime ridden country is going to be a target for many car thieves so I guess I won't be buying a Tesla car with bitcoin.

If I have enough Bitcoin to buy Tesla, I would not do it. Because as soon as I cross Tesla dealership gates, the value of my car (or Bitcoins if to be correct in our situation) will decrease for 5-20%. And with years, my Tesla value will be even lower. While 1 Bitcoin is always a 1 Bitcoin. It does not lose value when being transferred. And its value most probably will go up.

there are lots of benefits to using an EV car which a bitcoin holder may probably buy. for instance, in China you get to access roads/areas exclusively for EV cars and registrations/plate are free as far as i know. now i don't know if the law also applies to some regions in USA. these cars don't burn out gas to pollute the earth this is why it's been promoted that way in China. the distance it could run however is very limited so its best just in cities.

I don't understand why some people try to buy a car with bitcoin, bitcoin goes beyond the value of a car and anyone who invests in bitcoin understands this, it's hard to believe that some people want to experience the feeling of buying a Tesla car with bitcoin. Perhaps this was a new joke from Elon Musk to make the market more interesting but unfortunately, was too familiar with his joke and the market reacted against expectations, the clear signal that people hate buying a car with bitcoin and they prefer to hold bitcoin, the accumulation phase has started again

I guess that's what makes it worth buying the Tesla when your investment in bitcoin already has its huge profit and then probably around a 100k$ meaning 1 bitcoin can buy Tesla.

Probably even great when the market price is going to drop after you make a purchase, I mean bitcoin is not yet ready for spending since the market price of bitcoin is just pumping and pumping over the years, so spending your bitcoin at this moment is not actually the best thing to do since you could just lose profit and giving it to Tesla, but I guess it just the same because you do not have the risk of investing in bitcoin anymore.

Still, it's a great thing to have or for Tesla to accept bitcoin, it could easily pump the market price in the market and also help for the bitcoin adaptation.

buying Tesla with Bitcoin is my dream...
but for now, I will think hard to buy Tesla with Bitcoin because my family still needs a lot. maybe if I get a lot of Bitcoin then I will be happy to buy Tesla with Bitcoin 'lol'.

It is really a hard decision to make honestly. The movements of the Bitcoin price are really interesting now. There is a huge expectation for the price to reach a level over 100k dollars. If things go the opposite way, it will make one feel really regretful for not buying now. But still as being a long-term investor, I would prefer waiting.  ;D

One thing is certain, i won't use btc to buy when the market is in the dip, because we all already know what that means in measuring the price to usdt value, honestly, i don't know if i would, assuming i have such amount of btc in my disposal, very tough choice, i will probably opt for usdt at the end  :D

I guess I would prefer buying Tesla with Bitcoin when the price goes up to much better levels. I've been seeing some important analysis models that are expecting BTC price to reach incredible levels in this year. Actually, predictions like 300k dollars etc. don't seem realistic to me but I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches a value between 100k and 150k.

Maybe we may not know the reason why there are some other of us who would like to buy Tesla car with the use of their bitcoin but maybe i guess those are just wanting and dreaming to have a tesla car of their own. To be honest, if i would relate it in our fiat currency here in our country, aiming to have a tesla car was so much expensive since the dollar value here was high, so it really cost that much using fiat currency, however having bitcoin to use as a method of payment without converting it in fiat was pretty good to consider.

I'm thinking about it. I'll surely wait untill 100k, but i'm not sure, do i need to buy Tesla?

Much better to keep as it is and wait for Bitcoin to explode more, buying assets using crypto for now is also not a priority.

There are huge chance that Bitcoin price will improve more, as per current it's falling so using it to buy expensive car from Tesla  maybe next time
when Bitcoin already reached $80K-$100K.

But it's good to know that they are now start to accept Bitcoin to transact.

There was the question posed about is it good to purchase a tesla with your bitcoin since the amount you pay now could be worth more or less later on down the road.

Don't know but ask her this question after selling her btc to buy a tesla.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzNPfBA7tLM

With it closing closer to $50k now from yesterday it might be better to hold off on that tesla purchase for now until the CME futures thing is done and dusted for today.
That alone is $60bln to see what happens. :-\
https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2021/03/cmes-crypto-futures-volume-close-to-60-billion-in-february-report/

I haven't any doubt that there will absolutely be some people who will want to buy Tesla with BTC. Depending on the amount of BTC you have, you could actually buy a Tesla and experience how it feels ilke. If you don't have too many Bitcoins, I don't think it is worth spending it on a car instead of continuing to HODL it.

I will keep my BTC because I find Bitcoin an asset while Tesla may be a cool car, but it's a liability. I cannot afford a $40k liability (still).

But a friend of mine is planning to be one of the first in the UK to buy a Tesla with Bitcoin. I will follow him to see how flowless the process is when this becomes possible.

You will only make Elon richer in the near future,so no not buying a liability Tesla. If you want to buy car use fiat and keep your BTC’s. Big companies are fomo’ing now, this is one of their strategy to gain more Bitcoin in exchange for the services or products that they produce.

Well if there's an tesla charging station here in my country maybe i already buy one why? because here in my country no one still own tesla car and if you have one then you can easily join or entry it into a car show you only need some of a design in car but here in my country you need soil and state and if you really had one you only need to invest it into it and wait for the city to increase it's population but however if you really into a car and wait to invest in it maybe yes tesla is a future car and nature lover why not to own one.

You're right this is a clever way for marketing and now this will make some people intersted in tesla cars and for the campany to get profits from both people buying the cars and especially getting btc at a low price since now that its down to 52k.

That's one way of marketing their tesla cars also. Aside from the fact that they are investing in bitcoin. So they are promoting both for their business. If nothing else, just another endorsement for bitcoin usage. Even if we are not buying Tesla (for one, very few can afford), still this is a good marketing in crypto. And I bet, not many people in the forum can really afford to buy this car, and if they can, do they have preference to buy one?

If I could afford it then why not? But as of now, I would prefer to hold my Bitcoin since there's a bigger opportunity of gaining a better profit in the future. As wise holders, we should just buy what we need rather than what we want while we're still holding. That should be the mindset of holders with a certain goal. If we'll hold and gain bigger, then I think that's the best time for us to buy luxury cars like Tesla.

Anyone who is purchasing the car using bitcoin will be users who are holding the coins for a long time and no one in the right sense will be purchasing the coin at the current price just to purchase a car. So the price does not matter and the merchant has the option to convert them to fiat. You cannot expect both scenarios, you want to purchase using bitcoin and then think about their future valuation. 

I think in the future yes. For now, It's not possible for me to buy a tesla using bitcoin. I have a few reasons.

1. My bitcoins are not allocated for a tesla right now.
2. No tesla dealership available in my country, Import is also bad because of the tax  :-X
3. My country has no infrastructure or support that can  accommodate an electric car today (Charging station, Maintenance support/parts, capable roads)
4. No legal way to drive a tesla on our road because our country doesn't have the framework yet to accept electric cars. It can't be registered yet :-X So no legal documents.

But yeah, I wish I can purchase a tesla with my bitcoins in the future, I'm just waiting for the best opportunity to do it.

When you do like to test out on buying things physically or online with using your own coins then its just dumb for you to make use of those which you had currently bought on and you will surely be
using those coins that you had been holding for a while and had already making out some profits on while holding it.For testing purposes then its considerable but if you are aiming for holding
for long term or future years to come then you wouldnt really take this step for you to make use if you can simply use up your fiat in the process.
You know bitcoins potential worth in the future which means you are just missing out the opportunity if you do spent all of those.

If you start thinking like that then you will never sell the coins and the idea of bitcoin as a currency will fail. The idea of store of value is still strong and it is good to see companies like Tesla starts accepting bitcoin and hopefully in the next five years we will see more companies opening their doors for bitcoin.

I have sold bitcoin in the past when the price was not even near these valuations and if i think i need a new Tesla then i will sell my bitcoin for the car.

while you don't actually need a luxury car, just buy something that doesn't require a ton of gas to get you where you want to be. small cars that can travel about almost 10 miles with 1 liter of gas will be good saves you a lot of money unlike having a truck. consider a motorcycle if you are single too.

to survive the crisis you need to be a minimalist to save money and wait until electric cars will be cheaper one day. testa will soon be cheaper too.

Well those customers are trading in their bitcoin for a car. Is it  a fair trade? :-[
So you can see where Tesla is going with this and accumulating as much bitcoin as they can for an exchange in a tangible object.

I believe that buying Tesla with BTC is not as easy as it seems at first glance. For example, I have BTC, but there is no official Tesla dealer in my region and is unlikely to be in the near future. A number of questions arise: where and how can I buy Tesla with BTC? Who will deliver it and register it to me and how? In general, it sounds nice - "Buy Tesla for BTC", but in reality it is not realistic for many to do it. Based on this, I will choose the second option, namely, I will defend my BTC until it reaches a higher price.

I will love to buy Tesla with Bitcoin if i am opportune, But not at an outrageous price. I will compare the price in Fiat and Bitcoin before buying it, and i will pay with the cheapest. We are all gunning for maximum utility from our expenditures. Average human being is a rational consumer.

at this moment I wouldn't do it. I believe price of BTC will grow further. buying Tesla for bitcoin now is the easiest and perfect option for those who live in a country with heavy crypto restriction. they may buy some cars and sell it in order to spend the money in their native country.

If possible here in my place, why not? who even doesn't want a car, not unless you're from japan which owning a car is too much expensive.

But not for now, I can buy more needed things and investments instead of owning a tesla right now.

I must be in the level of Musk and the likes of him for me to be able to have such huge amount of btc, and no, I won't be buying Tesla with my precious btc, that will be a huge amount of btc to let go for a car,
Lol, now am beginning to think spending btc on goods is not going to be that easy after all.

Accepting BTC as payment does not only eliminate the error in thinking that BCT is just a digital coin with no value but it shows the world, and those that can afford to buy a Tesla with BTC that there is a real market to expend crypto to accumulate real world assets.

In other words, it gives people the confidence they need to start considering BTC and crypto in general as something more than what some people label it as 'scam'. It is a great way to support BTC and get that competitive advantage... So it is a win-win fro both BTC and Tesla

I also love to buy Tesla using Bitcoin, before 2030 I think I can achieve it.  :)

To allow btc payments for tesla cars is just pure genius, people who are invested in crypto with high degree of probability also like new tech which includes Tesla. Not to mention to cult around Elon Musk . I would love to see how much they will sell with crypto.

Hopefully they are successful at taking some orders with btc.  Only legitimizes the currency more. 

Tricky question, but I think I would rather hold till bitcoin hits $100k+ before I will think of selling them off(if I had one, lol), cuz at $100k I would able to purchase about two tesla's, so instead of dumping now and running away with one tesla I would  hold and be patient enough till bitcoin hits that $100k then I will just just two tesla at once, I'm big fan of tesla though haven't seen any in country yet, it will be so cool to be one of the first to ride that baby.

First and foremost, enough with Tesla and bitcoin, I know rich men magnetize attention, that's why it's Tesla and bitcoin are so much correlated by many at this point, I think investing in bitcoin for purchase of property is orthodox, now is about ensuring you maintain a futuristic bitcoin wallet for as long as you draw breath, passing the passion also to the next generation.

I believe that serious Bitcoin investors are not going to do it. If you spend fiat money on buying a Tesla, you are spending an asset that depreciates fast, on the other hand if you spend Bitcoin you are spending an asset that appreciates. Sure someone will end up buying one with Bitcoin but it's not a very smart decision. It is better to hold Bitcoin and exchange depreciating fiat.

Why not? why using fiat and not Bitcoin?

Buying Tesla with Bitcoin seems good for those who have 5Btc or more than 10BTC. I think it is not necessary to buy Tesla car if we aren't a big fan of Elon and the car. Much better to hold Bitcoin and wait until 100k than buy a car then after 5 years become cheaper than the day you bought. Bitcoin is a safer place where there's no car accident and unnecessary things that could damage the car by natural calamities.

What if it will not reach $100K?

A smart person knows the value of his investment and when an investment is in bitcoins, a smart investor will never give importance to materialistic things over btc as bitcoin has become a very mature investment for any investor for which nobody will give importance to buying Tesla but to wait longer ans gain more on their investments.

I haven't read news regarding the first Tesla buyer who bought the car with Bitcoin yet.
I think Tesla did it for marketing purposes. But I do believe that Tesla really accepts Bitcoin as a payment method.
We already have "Lambo" things for a long time to represent wealth from cryptocurrency.
Tesla's move to accept Bitcoin could strengthen their brand image. "When Tesla" for now.
At least, now they have additional coverage for their market, which is cryptocurrency users.

Seems like Tesla licking Bitcoin, and vice versa  ;D You know the name of this position. lol

I think buying Tesla with Bitcoin is not very logical thing to do as long as you don't have a high amount of BTC. I would rather HODLing it than spending on a Tesla. And of course there will be some people who will prefer buying one. The reason behind it could be finding out how it makes one feel.  ;D

I will buy Tesla if I have  need for it. Keeping it to 100k will be awesome too. I will choose based on my scale of preference. The pronouncnment of buying Tesla through is very big boost to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Yes, the prices varying in this diapason that you mentioned. And lots of people are able to buy at least the model 3 without using their BTCs. The only thing in case someone has no such amount in dollars but has Bitcoins, he will get the opportunity to buy a car. From this point of view it is suitable. But from another point of view, on what needs to spend Bitcoin, in this case it may be inappropriate.

I would wait until 100k and then count how many Teslas I can buy in Bitcoins.  ;D ;D ;D

In the present time bitcoin is the most potential and good coin. Its price is now so much volatile. I also thought that bitcoin price will hit $100k in the end of this year. In my personal logic, tesla car which one i want to buy now if i buy this in the end of the year then its(car) price not gonna high. Its(car) price must be down some. On the other hand it is 80% sure that bitcoin price will increase more. So I am not buying now tesla car by my bitcoin. I will buy tesla car when bitcoin price will hit $100k or more. 

Buying the tri-motor Tesla Cybertruck when it launches with DOGE, Elon loves it  ;D

If I had invested now with bitcoin that supposedly for buying tesla with the current price in the market, I would rather hold it until it will double the price in the market. It means, if that happens I can buy a Tesla car for free and the remaining amount that I have held will remain and hold again until the price doubled again.

Just imagination and I don't think I can hold for that long time, if I have a lot of money and I can afford to invest in bitcoin and buy a Tesla car, why not.
People are always dreaming of a nice car and Tesla will I guess consider a good car.

Tesla now is accepting bitcoin to buy their car and that is very good news and one of the better happen in the crypto world because it will help to our community to grow those tesla user will probably use bitcoin and invest and if the they have a lot of demand and user the outcome will be good. I think more big companies will try to accept bitcoin when their customers are buying products or avail services and honestly they also goods when they using bitcoin because it also promoted their business to bitcoin user.

Not me apparently, Teslas don't come cheap, and living in a third-world country doesn't help either lmao. Although of course, this move by Tesla could potentially revolutionize the car industry yet again, introducing a new form of payment rather than the conventional cash or check. That being said, I am looking forward to what this move of Tesla has to offer for us.

I do want to buy a Tesla, but I don’t have so much Bitcoin in my hand, which is not enough for me to buy a car, so I plan not to buy it. When Bitcoin continues to rise, maybe I will I don't want to buy Tesla anymore, and may plan to continue buying Bitcoin.

With the latest sharing of Elon Musk when accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for customers to buy electric cars supported by a "open source internal software" that allows customers to buy cars with Bitcoin ... Article This can realize they will be decentralized towards their customers and ensure maximum data. So it's really hard to know who will buy Tesla with bitcoin if no one can interfere or just between Tesla. Waiting for bitcoin to reach 100k is not unfounded, but bitcoin has many other uses depending on the purpose of its owner.

That is never going to happen. Elon is not stupid enough to take DOGE seriously. He has made a few satirical tweets about DOGE, but he understands that it is just another shitcoin with no real usage. That explains why Telsa made the investment in Bitcoin, and not with any other cryptocurrency. We are currently living in the age of third-generation cryptocurrency, and you are talking about a coin that is technologically inferior even to first-generation cryptocurrencies.

What makes you say that?

We are sure that in the near future we will see $200К, so it is definitely worth to wait   :)

Surely this is for people like Elon who can afford such amount of btc to make payment and not for you and i who are counting sat  :D
the idea of using btc to make Tesla Payment is design for big organizations and companies or wealthy individuals in the society, the idea brought yet a more prestige to btc and btc holders.

Not interesting for me because I can't buy Tesla using bitcoin and even the cash, but if I have the opportunity to buy it then I am going to buy it with bitcoin, or maybe I will wait first for the bitcoin to goes up to $100k before I buy a tesla if I have enough money to afford it. This Tesla is only for those fortunate people who have a huge amount of money in their portfolio or their wallets, this news is kinda interesting for them.

Which people have crush or dream to buy a tesla car and if he/she have enough bitcoin to buy a tesla car then they buy tesla car by Bitcoin. But because of getting more profit from Bitcoin, they may be hold their Bitcoin till it is hitting 100k $. Then they buy tesla car by Bitcoin, if they are fond of tesla car.

I won't buy it because:

• My government forbids it.
• I don't have enough bitcoins to buy the cheapest type.
• I don't even guarantee that I can make $2000 worth of bitcoin trading profit per year specifically for the annual tax.

According to the Test, only those people who initially own bitcoin will buy with Bitcoin. On the other hand, if a person lives in a country where cryptocurrency is not legalized, this does not mean that he cannot afford to buy with bitcoin. I don’t know about other countries, but in my country there are people and companies that buy and deliver cars from the United States to anywhere in the world by order. Thus, having found an appropriate reputable company, anyone can buy a car they like with the help of cryptocurrency through the company, and this car is delivered to him already purchased abroad, with clearance through customs. Although in reality, during this period, people will not be ready to buy a car with Bitcoin, especially given the ongoing bull run in the cryptocurrency market.

When it comes to practicality and thinking about the potential value that Bitcoin can possibly attain in future, for me it will be essential to at least keep it on hold and just use it for better purpose and just for in need. Purchasing a Tesla using my Bitcoin will not be a practical thing for me because I would rather purchase a car using fiat and keep on hand the Bitcoin I currently have for future essential purpose. But maybe for some that might be certainly have bunch of Bitcoins in their account, they might grab the opportunity using their holdings to buy Tesla since it is their own money that they will be going to use. In my case, I would just rather hold and spend for more important things rather than spending it for a Tesla car.

Maybe that's what most people think about the bitcoin they own. People may prefer to buy it fiat as you mean.

Their Bitcoin is their money and they are entitled to use it anywhere including buying Tesla. At least their desire to buy Tesla using bitcoin has made bitcoin the perfect payment function.

and why not?? people accept it as payment already
third gen is here but bitcoin still the boss though, talking one of the oldest coins and still around high on the list and not that different to lite coin per say with loyal community
and then if he dont still buying the cybertruck with BTC  ;D

Everything is good, but in my country there is no infrastructure for electric semi-cars. Gladly, but not now because it doesn't make sense.
Buying for BTC is a very good option ...

Everyone always wants to find a new atmosphere in purchasing a car, we know that on average they buy luxury goods with fiat, now Tesla has provided this service for bitcoin lovers maybe only 1-1.5BTC can get a super sophisticated car in my opinion this is the Tesla applied for convenience for buyers.

Indeed, in this case, it is better for me to hold or save it for the future or also for other interests because many rich people, of course they will buy whatever they want, always buy so that in the lower class it will look luxurious to see this Tesla car. just for the sake of style.

The tastes of many people are different but I admit the Tesla car has extraordinary sophistication.

I would never by a Tesla at the price it is now. It's just too expensive and doesn't offer anything that I'd really want in a car.

I don't want my car to be too dependent on electronics and when one of these little things fail I cannot drive anymore. Door handles come out when you come close to the car and if this gets damaged somehow you can't even get in. It has a failing autopilot, almost nobody can fix it but the dealership, you need a charging station at home or charging will last forever... It's just an expensive burden.

how will this purchase be tracked? if you pay not by card or in cash, how do they arrange everything

Good question.
Well, the transaction will be recorded in the blockchain when you transfer your Btc to another address. So, that will serve as your proof of purchase. And of course it will be processed from a specific crypto payment processor before completing the signing of papers.
I'm not expert and haven't tried anything like this, but pretty sure these are some basic steps.

I guess my answer would be both, I’d buy Tesla if Bitcoin reaches to a $100k. And that is if I own a lot of Bitcoin too, my priorities would be my daughter to graduate college first then I’d probably save more even if Bitcoin reaches to a $100k.

That's right, whenever we make a purchase we get the billing details. When we make a purchase with bitcoin, the transaction details along with the purchaser name gets added. Another thing it is clearly said by Elon Musk, those Bitcoins used by people on purchase won't be moved to fiat. It'll be stored in a separate vault. Therefore not much of transactions were involved. Checking a single transaction id itself everything can be connected with the purchaser.

Of course if my Bitcoin is enough to buy Tesla, I will immediately use it to buy Tesla. There is no need to wait for Bitcoin to reach $ 100k first,
but the problem is that the amount of Bitcoin I have is not enough to buy Tesla. So for the time being my Tesla purchase will be postponed,
and it will be on my wish list. Hopefully I can collect Bitcoin so I can buy Tesla, even though if look at my current financial condition it seems
impossible. But as long as we have strong desires, there is usually a way to make our wishes come true.

If the buyer doesn't want his main wallet to be connected to the transaction, It would be a smart move to use third-party services like a bitcoin mixer so that the transaction can't be detected and can preserve the owner's identity. In real-life, Doing paperwork and putting up legitimate information is inevitable so the only thing you can put into private is between the wallet address and you.

Elon says Tesla would keep the coin, not sell it. Implying coins are worth more than money. So using coins to buy the car, you're doing a bad deal.

A car is the ideal thing to buy with credit, as long as you have a stable revenue to pay it off that is. Otherwise, you shouldn't be buying an expensive car anyway !

With the latest cut in price, leasing a Tesla Model 3 SR+ went from more than 600€/month to 299€/month, so even that is now an option, although still a bit too steep for me.

If I had the opportunity to buy a Tesla using Cryptocurrencies, I would gladly grab it. I always thought of it as something useful since I would not have to think about its value and any current moment because paying with something volatile can be good for me in a number of ways. The Car that I have bought would not depreciate within a year or two so as long as its usable and already paid in whole in Bitcoin, that car is mine. If Bitcoin's value increases or even decreases, I already paid what I needed to accumulate so paying with Crypto can really be great.

So instead of holding something that appreciates in value you'd rather buy an expensive car that quickly depreciates and has an expensive battery that needs to be replaced at your cost every few years?
 
The logic of this is beyond me :D

You also believe that your tesla would not depreciate in the first 2 years which is pretty amazing :D Every car depreciates in value and they lose the most in the first 2 years! Usually about 20%

There are car brands which do depreciates more than the other but when it comes to investment or something then this isnt something worthy to be discussed on because we are talking
another things on here and car purchases arent included on that one.Its just a part of our daily live needs and  wants but when it comes to investment and using up their Bitcoin
then thats the time i would say that it wont really be worth.If we do know the possibility of bitcoins price increase in the future or simply talks about store of value
then we wont really be considering on spending up those coins but rather spending our fiat directly without affecting your bitcoin holding.

Not me obviously, I've held a my share of bitcoins but that isn't enough to probably buy me a Tesla, even their cheapest ones. So what I'm going to do is to hold these earning, probably DCA them as soon as price dumps to make sure they are alive and kicking, and when the time comes where I can afford such vehicle, I'd still not buy it because I know there are other ways I can spend these earnings that will guarantee me profits. A car that luxurious is just another liability, and besides, long as I can go to point a to b and my car is not a busted piece of scrap metal I don't care.

This depends on if I need a car, or maybe another car. If I had the BTC  and needed the car, I'd buy the car. However, trust that you will feel maybe sad if after buying the car and then boom, Bitcoin doubles up in price. You'd imagine how you could have either owned two Tesla cars or own one and still have a good sum of money left.

Anyone who owns enough Bitcoin to buy a Tesla then no doubt, I'm sure they will buy it and unfortunately I don't own it. Regarding about $100k I'm sure everyone is waiting for that moment, but it looks like the milestone will take a little longer and I'm not sure it will happen this year. So yes, everyone naturally wants both but unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to have them. :(

What country is it?

Yes, bitcoin is cash, not  asset to hold,
Yes maybe i bought tesla :)

Well all I could do now is wait for the price to go higher even if I  wanted to buy a new car I couldn't afford it.
But if I could and I really want then why wouldn't I do it after all I earn that money might as well enjoy it just make sure that you have enough money for your family too.

Buying a Tesla with bitcoin will most likely be a great sales gimmick, to generate attention around Tesla.
But I think only a few people will use the paying methods, as most people who hold enough bitcoins to buy a Tesla, understand that the real value of bitcoins is much higher than the dollar price bitcoins has right now.

For me myself, i will just keep my bitcoin instead of buying tesla. First, i'm not a fan of car, like, i don't really care about newest car, new technology in car etc. Of course i know electric car is great, and better for the environment. However, instead of asset, i think car is an expense. The cost to maintain it, the cost to charge that electric car, and another unexpected cost that might happen, which of course is not cheap at all.
But, bitcoin in other hand will or might keep increasing if we hold it, a bigger profit for me. However, i think for some people, buying tesla using bitcoin might look cooler for them, and great for flexing as well lol.

If I had enough money, I would spend my bitcoin to buy Tesla Model in order to show my respect and support to both bitcoin and Tesla. They have fought very well this year and the previous year.  ::)
 
In fact, I doubt that there are many who just intentionally want to use bitcoin to buy anything, even a Tesla Model. Using bitcoin right now is considered silly, thoughtless since the price of bitcoin continue rising without having any trouble from the bear market. According to a variety of sources ,experts anticipate that bitcoin has a good chance to surpass its current peak (which is $60000) and head to the new ATH.

This year is such a gift to bitcoin enthusiasts and the cryptocurrency. People are paying their attention on all kind of digital assets, and it seems that NFTs are in their favor now. Remember to take a small profit which equivalent to your initial deposit. In fact, many people have bought new house, new cars with the money they make from cryptocurrency.  :P

Most people will vote for holding, instead of exchanging Bitcoin for a Tesla electric car because car technology will evolve very rapidly every year, the Tesla electric car will gradually decrease in value in the following years, even when we sell it, our capital is not recovered too much, wasting money in such a way is not good. While on the opposite side, although bitcoin may also decline, overall the yearly trend is still a slight increase, as long as we have enough time with it, bitcoin will always promise to create the profit is quite good

If you believe that way, it's better to keep your hard earned bitcoin and wait till the value went according

to your target, might be in that time the value of your chosen car from tesla is more cheaper. It's  really

depends from how you see the future potential of bitcoin and it's up to you to where to use it.

It seems that there are hardly a lot of people willing to make purchases with bitcoins now. Almost everyone will now hold bitcoins and expect its further price growth. That's that. Bitcoin is now almost entirely a speculative asset. Everything has its time. When will it change. Now there is a "gold rush" among bitcoin holders.

What's cool ... 1 Bitcoin = 1 car  ;D

I would rather wait till Bitcoin reaches $100k. This is the trend line we are all anticipating for . Tesla can be bought anytime. Even if the opportunity is missed we can always buy more shares with our Bitcoin. Missing out from the crpyto market when Bitcoin eventually hits $100k is something no one would wish to experience after a long time of holding on to the coin

May be they wanted to create a hype and a selling point to attract wealthy investors but from what i understand they are having good sales even without much advertisement.

If you are having monetary restrictions then you are not going to use them to purchase anything in life. The investors who are able to buy Tesla using bitcoin are not going to be small time investors and hence they do not compare them with the future valuation if they wanted a car now.

Actually for now I don't imagine myself having an electric car. I have never seen any in my whole life and I'm not sure if I would be able to maintain it. Furthermore Tesla isn't disponible in my country and region yet for purchase (only for rent), and as we know it's really expensive when compared to the popular car brands, so it will take some time until I'm able to acquire one for sure.

I do not think there are going to be a lot of people that are going to want to buy Tesla at the moment when just holding your bitcoin is going to be a better business over the long term, I think people are going to wait at least until they can get a model S Tesla for less than 1 bitcoin, once that becomes a reality then we are going to see more people buying a Tesla with bitcoins but even then the demand is not going to be as high because as we know the car everyone wants to buy with their bitcoins are Lambos and not Teslas.

Well that's up to one's personal preference.
I don't like drive a lot or to be a showy dude using that car, but it would be a nice experience to drive one actually.
In regards of buying it with Bitcoin, it would be hella coin-venient for me to buy one as I said before here, but it is almost the same thing as going all-out in crypto which I wouldn't do at all, judging from how much Tesla costs.

It will be fun when you buy with bitcoin and cannot identify your identity and all satoshis go away for nothing.
Ps. It is sure that they have some identification systems :)

I’m going to buy a Tesla Cybertruck using Bitcoin and I’m documenting the experience on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326636.0

I’m hoping I’ll be able to tour the factory and drive it home myself to capture that experience as well. Might be a good thread to check back on in a year.

I have a lot of respect for Tesla, after they invested in Bitcoin and accepted Bitcoin as one of the payment methods for the purchase of their products. But at the same time, I am sorry to say that their vehicles are overpriced and overhyped. I can get a gasoline-run equivalent for 1/3rd or 1/4th the price of these vehicles. Also, the maintenance charges seems to be very high for Tesla, as we need to replace the battery every 5-6 years.

People who have a large amount of bitcoin that want to spend for a tesla if you are just a normal people you can easy bought a single tesla if you want but what it cost is your Bitcoin imagine you hold that bitcoin that for your dream tesla and after a few years the price of the Bitcoin use up and not just one but also it can triple the Tesla you can buy. This is just a marketing strategy of Elon Musk to gather more bitcoin afaik there's a trillion of the market cap of the bitcoin.

I think good to have bitcoin than tesla.

look at this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326636.msg56657580#msg56657580 ( i missed the post above )  .
he already bought a tesla using his btc but he is an old member and he already waited for too long and now he is rewarding his self with a brand new pick up truck from tesla .
for us that are not that old in btc , we need to collect more btc and wait for more price hikes before we can afford a high valued brands like tesla .

The market has buyers and sellers. So I'm sure someone will pay for Tesla's car with Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is just a means of payment. As far as I know, Americans have a habit of paying off an item in installments rather than buying it outright. If Tesla allows installment payments in Bitcoin, many people will choose this option.

With the news they accept bitcoin as payment I am happy. This has made the BTC price go up. In addition,  more investors' eyes are opening and attracting interest in investing in Bitcoin. To buy Tesla  I think I would do if I had 1000BTC at current prices😍. I agree with  you say, for the economy in my area same with you , it may be too expensive. Then regarding spare parts and maintenance maybe in my area it is difficult to get. But I believe Tesla will grow and get bigger, and I hope they will make cheap cars for the world.

They are not willing to convert to fiat when you use BTC to purchase Tesla. Emerging buying a Tesla and found out after a few months that you have actually paid for 2 or 3 of such. Elon Musk is very wise selecting the best, the first and the most secure digital currency as a payment option

I am not sure that the strategy of Tesla and Elon Musk personally includes the sale of the cheapest cars  ;D But it is irrelevant if Tesla maintains and strengthens its current market position, then after a while, when electric cars occupy a dominant niche in the market, we can expect to produce cars at even lower prices. Because at this point in time, Tesla's products are not so cheap, and even part of the price is covered by government subsidies, which, however, are slowly beginning to be canceled, as for example in the UK and not in every country a person can afford such a purchase.

Hell no because i don't have enough money to buy tesla  :'( Maybe i can bought that car in the next year and i will prefer using bitcoin instead of fiat for tax evasion  :)

I don't have that much of a problem if I have to pay $30,000 or $40,000 for a new Telsa car. But my problem is that the battery they are providing may not last long and needs to be replaced every 4-5 years (and the battery alone can cost somewhere around $10,000 to $15,000). They need to invent a better technology, that lasts longer. The current lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum batteries being used by Telsa are neither effective, nor affordable.

It was already stated on the project specification of Tesla, upon releasing their statement that these company were accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment on their products it was stated that the bitcoin that were going to purchase their product doesn't need to exchange in any fiat currencies. This might be one of the way of Tesla to gain bitcoin on their own kind strategy, and we might not know if the bitcoin that they can accumulate from this marketing strategy will be hodl by Tesla for a long term or short term.

So, if reselling Tesla with Bitcoin is simple, I'll probably buy Tesla with it if I have enough money. And what if I'm beginning to lose interest in this car and want a new one? I'll probably sell it, but I'd prefer to be paid also in cryptocurrency.

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase these products using cryptocurrency to avoid paying taxes, and I'm sure you'll agree. However, in my country, there are few charging stations, and if there are, they are likely to be prohibitively costly. If your Tesla breaks down, you'll have to order parts from abroad, and only a few people know how to repair a new-gen vehicle such as Tesla.

Not many people use bitcoin so they may not use bitcoin as a form of payment to buy tesla. Also when we know that bitcoin is rising, it is better to wait for bitcoin to reach 100,000 - 150,000$ and then buy a Tesla car form bitcoin.

When I am spending $35,000 or $45,000 to purchase a brand new car, I am at least expecting a vehicle that I can use for 10-15 years without major issues. But with Tesla, I need to replace the battery every 5 years or so, and it is going to cost me at least $10-15K. I understand that they have developed some batteries which can last much longer. But they are not allowed, since these batteries are prone to overheating and explosions. They need to improve their battery technology.

People already know value of bitcoin due its rapid increase. I don't think people use btc to buy a car. it's better to use fiat currency than bitcoin. 

Such news events as the sale of Tesla for Bitcoin greatly contribute to the popularization of cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, most people are still distrustful and biased towards cryptocurrencies and such news shows that large corporations trust these assets, which means that ordinary people can also be trusted.

No way I am going to buy a depreciating asset with my bitcoins.

same thing really to pay whether using bitcoin or fiat but it's true that people would think twice when buying car with bitcoin unless they got some bitcoin left as an investment they not gonna buy tesla using bitcoin which they was used for investment.
I personally not gonna buy anything like tesla until I got rich and the cost of buying tesla feels like buying peanut to me, the price of car usually go down in no time anyway.

Value for your money is very important, that's a good attitude before you spend any amount from your savings, Bitcoin
is a good asset and we never know how high it can go from here.

If ever you decide to buy Tesla make sure that you already maximized the value of your holdings as you can really enjoy
the profits from your initial investment buying anything you like.

Car manufactures does not produce cars right now that will run for 10-15 years without major issues. You say you dont want to replace Teslas battery every 5 years and spend $10k+. Ok then, buy a diesel or petrol car and change oil/oil filter/microfilter/fuel filter every 10-15k kilometers. As well as pay for fuel more. How much will your every service visit cost? 300-500 USD 2-3 times per year. Compared with Teslas electric engine, there are so many moving parts in regular engine that might die. I think you havent thought about these facts at all.

At least name 1 brand new car that will run for 10-15 years, which I will use daily and all I have to do is to change oil and filters.

I don't think anyone would be interested in spending their Bitcoin to buy a Tesla car. Elon Musk himself has stated that he will not spend the Bitcoin earned through the sale of Tesla cars, he said that TESLA will hold that Bitcoins for the long term. I don't think anyone would agree to lose their Bitcoin in such a bullish market. Bitcoin prices will skyrocket soon, and 100k is very reasonable within the end of this year.

Maybe someone holding a large number of Bitcoins might show interest buying a Tesla with Bitcoin. As in the post, Elon Musk is clear about the Bitcoin holding. The bitcoins that are got through the Tesla sales will never be converted to fiat. Those are long term holdings, and this act will give more confidence and positive note on Bitcoin for users who fear about using cryptocurrencies.

I think the price of $ 100,000 for Bitcoin is far from the limit. It is quite possible that soon we will see prices an order of magnitude higher.

Even if I wanted to, can't afford to buy one. Hoping that I'll be able to increase my portfolio holdings and take advantage of the current situation in the market especially the altcoins. I just hope the this bullish will continue and able to overcome the resistance before the correction hits.

I think the chances of this happening are very low, as we know the price of bitcoin can move very rapidly and depending on how much bitcoin you have you could end up buying a Tesla at a certain price and then the price of bitcoin begins to go down and you could end up with a debt that you cannot pay, I prefer the current model, let the people that actually have the money to buy a Tesla with bitcoin, to me this is a very smart movement because it could come to replace Lamborghinis as the preferred car to buy to signal your bitcoin wealth.

I planned to have a car of my own because it will be very nice but I will still hold but like you said when it reached $100k I can change my scale of preference then but for now, holding is the key.

Well, the strategy is to sell an asset that will eventually depreciate in value and accept payment that could appreciate in value in the future. It's a win-win situation for Elon as Bitcoin continues to soar higher price.
Not everyone would risk to spend their Bitcoin to buy an expensive car, but I believe there are a few individuals who are willing to do it.  Just like that man who bought $103,000 Tesla car in 2013 using Bitcoin.  (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pizza-someone-bought-tesla-model-s-2013-91-4-btc%3famp=1)

In the future, I hope to buy a Tesla car with my bitcoins,
However, I have a few bitcoins Now, I'm waiting for bitcoin to reach high prices and then I hope to buy Tesla with bitcoin.  :)

The strategy is extremely obvious, not only that he has claimed that he is not going to sell for fiat the bitcoin that he gets, maybe Tesla as a company is going to keep buying bitcoin but it seems that now they are concentrated in trying to get all the bitcoin that they can by selling cars and it is not a bad strategy at all as it should be very obvious now that if you buy a Tesla right now you're going to pay more of it with bitcoin than what you will do in just a few years.

Better hold bitcoin and buy Tesla with your cash money, this bad way if you want to but car with bitcoin because bitcoin price always potential grow up one or two year later, but cash money is worth to buy every thing. Just they way when have company accepted bitcoin never purchase your bitcoin to buy everything, hold and keep your bitcoin investment safety until really back to higher price.

Agree, The reason why Tesla is willing to accept bitcoin as payment because they knew the potential of bitcoin.

So in that case, why would you use bitcoin to buy a car if there's a huge potential in bitcoin? right? I mean it'll be a waste to use bitcoin on a car if you can buy it using cash.

Bitcoin can x2 soon, you can't easily buy bitcoin because it's already at the peak and trying to resist a new ATH so IMO, not a good move.

For those who do mind about long term aspect then they would really be having these kind of thoughts in mind on why they would be wasting up their coins on purchasing into something
which can be actually be bought by fiat but if you are some sort of whale who do owns thousands of coins then spending a few for the sake of complimentation or rewarding yourself
then this wont really be that much of an issue but for us average joes or earners then it wont really be that worth for us to spend on.
Save and accumulate while we can because potential is really there when it comes to future.

It will be remarkable for me, if I can buy Tesla with Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency. The Tesla news was a great boost to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. Outside this, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have come to stay.

many people in 2022 I guess! Very few on 2021

I've thought about it more and I don't see how Tesla can really do this. For example there is VAT or sales tax when you buy a car, that Tesla has to give back to government. Government will not accept bitcoin. So if Tesla keeps the bitcoins, then they have to fork out cash to pay the government. So now, they have given you a car, have to pay employees in fiat, expenses in fiat, investment in fiat, raw materials, etc., but they don't have the fiat since they got BTC and don't want to sell it.

That can only work if very few people actually buy Teslas with BTC, otherwise Tesla will have to sell BTC for sure.

The way by Tesla company how to get more bitcoin and accepted payment using bitcoin for every one want to buy Tesla car, I think if you use bitcoin as purchase payment the Tesla company will hold your bitcoin and sell later after raise to higher price, bitcoin still potential break out above $100,000 maybe one or two years later.

From what I understand, a decent Tesla car costs around $100,000 in the United States. So here in India, the prices can be at least 50% to 60% higher. And the average annual income stands at $1,000 per year. At this point, I don't think that a lot many people would go for Tesla in India. Also who will spend their Bitcoins on an asset which will get depreciated after every year, especially when we are all expecting a very significant bull rally?

Of course, the decision to buy TESLA in bitcoins is very ambiguous, because it can really grow up to 100k, only the owner of TESLA will earn from this transaction, a very thoughtful move from Elon Musk, I generally admire him, his decisions are always correct and successful.

In my opinion, buying Tesla with Bitcoin has two meanings. The first meaning is to buy a Tesla car with Bitcoin. The second meaning is to buy Tesla stock with Bitcoin.
Both things have probably already been done as Binance today announced they will list TSLA tokens on their platform.

Tesla have make bitcoin more popular after many time Elon Musk make new tweet about bitcoin and doge coin, how ever during bitcoin have raise to higher price I think Tesla have give more benefit for bitcoin by advertise every time. This way many businessman and company adopted bitcoin as payment currency and price have touch all time high.

Is the token really the same as a Telsa stock? That is quite peculiar for a company to have a token as a stock maybe I just need to be accustomed to it since this is going to be a start for something new, the only problem that I see is if I bought a token, am I recognized as a stock holder too?

I'm not a fan of tesla so why should i Buy this using my precious coins.

I would rather wait when Mercedes Benz finally accept Bitcoin so i can have my dream 2 doors .

And of course will wait until the value reached 100k USD per Bitcoin so i only need 1 BTC to have my Car  ;D

Will this be happening this year?

I agree that Tesla and Elon Musk played a big role in making the price of Bitcoin as high as it is now, because as we all know Tesla invests
in Bitcoin in large amounts and Elon Musk does a lot of Bitcoin shilling on twitter. After that more and more companies started investing in Bitcoin,
it's been an amazing year for Bitcoin. Even the price of Bitcoin managed to hit the ATH price of $ 64k, this has made Bitcoin even more popular.

Sure, it's the same as buying WBTC meaning you hold BTC. Token holders representing Tesla shares are also Tesla stockholders. Issues related to rights such as dividends or investor meetings need to be answered, I think Binance is responsible for this issue.

Do you want to buy Tesla with Bitcoin because this option exist, or you simply want to buy a Tesla?

Dont know what people find in Tesla cars? Of course there are technologies, but soon every other car will have them. There are cars that are better or worse than Tesla. I would not mind buying car with Bitcoin. But not Tesla. I'm not ready for electric car yet, nor my surrounding is not suitable for electric car. I would buy something more practical like compact crossover. Tesla cybertruck might be the one. But this car looks like it was designed for robot wars.

Tesla is too expensive for me, I prefer like to buy cheap car rather than tesla although it has good technology. Actually my dream car are Lamborghini and Mercedes-Benz sprinter. So it seems that I will wait until Bitcoin price reach $100k. I still young now and the best thing that I can do is investment, I am planning to invest as many as I  can so my future will be better.

Obviously not many people are going to buy a Tesla at the moment and I am pretty sure that Elon knows this, I really think that what he's trying to do is to replace lambos in the minds of people when it comes to buying their dream car, we know that people joke about what kind of lambo they are going to get when they become rich with bitcoin or other cryptocurrency and it is obvious that Elon knows this so I think he's trying to replace that kind of thinking with his own cars, I do not know if he will be successful but it is worth the try.

I believe every good investor would like to wait till Bitcoin Hits a $100k price and Buy any type of car they want which I would do as well because when it comes to Investment, I would rather wait to make the most out of my investment than to spend part on things like that however, Tesla is not going to be a popular car in my country as I believe they are mostly electric cars which their charge point is not readily available.   

I don't know how many Tesla cars were sold as long as they adopted bitcoin as a means of payment. Tesla doesn't seem too problematic if not many bitcoin users want to buy their car because they already have a number of bitcoin that have been purchased a few month ago. If Tesla doesn't succeed in reaching its car sale target with bitcoin, then they will profit from the increase in the price of bitcoin. Remember, they bought $1.5 billion bitcoin a while back.

clearly with the investment that Tesla made by buying bitcoin where now the price is higher than when buying, of course, it has benefited. Of course there are also those who buy Tesla because it must be admitted that this car company is quite popular and is also the target of luxury car users.

then there will be no problem like you said if Teslapun sales are somewhat reduced because with the purchase of bitcoin Tesla is in a very profitable position at this time and maybe it will continue to happen with an increase in the price of bitcoin.

Tesla have many car showrooms in the UK with a fleet of cars already available so they do the importing. Most car companies don't manufacture in the UK these days anyway and I think Tesla is opening up a gigafactory in Berlin so that will cover their Europe-wide base.


The Cybertruck was quoted as being about half that at surprisingly around 50k, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't more than that on launch. Hopefully they can keep the costs reasonable. I wouldn't buy one at $100k but 50k is definitely reasonable and I would have no problem spending 1 bitcoin on one. Obviously you're going to have to have a bit of money to be able to buy one but people do buy new cars and since this is something new and unique it's going to be a while before you can pick them up on the second-hand market. If there's a shortage of them which I think there will be they might even go for much more initially until they can meet demand. As for spending bitcoins, people are going to want to cash them out at some point or spend them on something and I see nothing better than at least supporting a company that has taken the risk to both buy into bitcoin and actually accept it as payment which you can't ask for anything more from a company. I hope there's actually a lot of people buying Teslas (and other things) with bitcoin in the future as it gives it more weight as a currency or a payment medium at least rather than something that people just hodl till they die. 

Nice question ,it's your money, your choice and your tesla
So if you wish to you bitcoin to buy Tesla it's still your choice but honestly I like the idea of using bitcoin to buy Tesla , very soon it would be used to buy house's in the future .

Tesla are stamped on a conveyor belt, there will be a huge number of them, and there are only 21 million bitcoins. So I think anyone who buys a Tesla with Bitcoin will regret their purchase in the future. The case of buying pizza with bitcoins is already known ...))

Most people will choose to wait for the bitcoin price to hit $ 100k. on the bitcoin price chart we can see that the price of bitcoin has continued to increase in recent months and I am sure that the price of bitcoin can reach $ 100k in the next few months even though at this time the price of bitcoin has decreased slightly.

Since Tesla is such a large company, it is very likely that they will find consumer who are willing to buy their cars with bitcoin. As I said, even though in the end they didn't reach Tesla's sale target with bitcoin, they have made huge profit from their adoption of bitcoin as a mean of payment in their company. I think they have a good strategy for bitcoin adoption.

That may be true, but not for those who really want to buy it with bitcoin.

If you are running a company that allows bitcoin payment you would convert them to fiat as soon as the sales takes place, you are not going to hold them because it is a high volatile market and what happens the market crashes all of a sudden and they will report a financial loss because of their inability and it will affect their stock price as well and their overall performance.

I think a lot of people bought tesla with bitcoin. Elon Musk will make a lot of money from this topic. He would not have made such a move if he was not sure that bitcoin would increase.

I used to think the price was 20k. $ is huge for bitcoin, now it costs more than 50k ; so if I had bitcoins I would wait a little longer and buy a few Tesla cars for 1 BTC ::) but unfortunately I don't have any :(

For me, yes, I'll wait for $100k and it will really a big news. Buying car with tesla isn't a big thing and its like spending crypto which is much more important now. If I need, I'll be able to buy tesla by fiat currency.

do you guys think all the other big car companies will start to accept bitcoin?

If you buy a Tesla car with 1 BTC right now, in 5-10 years time when 1 BTC might value 500K or even 1M you will feel sorry. I suggest you buy the car with FIAT, remember the pizza guy you don't wanna be like him don't you?

If only I had Bitcoins then I will surely buy one but of course after I got and settled all my priorities in life. Having a Tesla car isn't that easy for its maintainance since it is a liability. Therefore, if I had Bitcoins, my family's needs first and then Tesla car if ever then with those glass windows that don't break.😅✌️ I'm not feeling sorry if ever I buy one with BTC because my family is not crypto friendly so leaving my BTC on my wallet for a long period of time will be lost forever if I pass away.😁

When I heard about Tesla car first in my life, it looked like something fascinating and great. And in case there was opportunity to buy Tesla in those days, may be yes, may be I would bought it. But after some time especially nowadays personally I would not choose it because of different reasons. But it depends on personal preferences. I would choose the more suitable variant for me - starting from the  model, manufacture and opportunities of maintenance in my country. What about Bitcoin, hope we really will see $100k in price.

Tesla S-class may be a good choice for millionaires who want to show-off, but not for the vast majority of the cryptocurrency users. $100K can be a fortune in many of the poor nations, and that may be equivalent to 50 years of annual wages in countries such as India and Bangladesh. Those who can afford it can purchase a Tesla to show their gratitude. But people like me would like to wait for another 2-3 years, before we take such a step. And hopefully by then a Telsa can be purchased within BTC0.20.

nothing is impossible to reach bitcoin to $ 100k. A slight decline certainly gives people the opportunity to buy and moreover, we know that the increase in bitcoin prices from year to year is extraordinary.

I think it not profitable if you buy a tesla today because there's a chance that the bitcoin will surpass the 60k USD if it a chance to have this for sure there is another pump for the 100k USD imagine you bought tesla with the worth of 10 BTC and then pump to 100k your 10 BTC can buy more 3-5 tesla. (This is just an explanation i don't really know the price of the tesla terms of bitcoin), again the market is volatile anything can happen with the market movements so keep aware of the possible outcome its good to hold or sell your coins already.

Obviously yes, If the value of BTC is around 6 digits like 100k USD then buying Tesla using BTC is not really a problem. However, tesla is no longer accepting BTC as a form of payment when you want to avail of their products so it's not really possible now.

If the price of Bitcoin reaches the price range you said it will be easy to buy Tesla vehicle and it was Tesla that stop the integration of Bitcoin as payment but that doesn't mean they can accept crypto credit cards.

Looks like i will be buying it with DOGE after all lol

Honesty speaking, I am not going to buy tesla using bitcoin. Well if i had tesla i will be sell it for bitcoin. So that in future i can buy Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW,
Lamborghini

Aston Martin


Maserati

Jaguar

Rolls-Royce
Lol ;D ;D ;D

After Doing of elon stunt with us for his profit means of his companies profit. How can we will buy that thing which made our portfolio less than half? We won't. Its my wish. Thanks.

If anyone interested, there is a Tesla Model X P100D available for sale in BTC, in Europe: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355941.msg57757354#msg57757354

I don’t use Bitcoin to buy a car, and I don’t want to sell all my Bitcoin to buy a car.
If I have enough Bitcoin, then I may frequently use Bitcoin to buy things.
Many people believe that the value of Bitcoin has been unwilling to sell. ;D

Elon Musk Tesla Company accepted Bitcoin but to my knowledge no one bought his Tesla Company car with Bitcoin. However, if Bitcoin is acceptable in my country, then I am Tesla with Bitcoin I used to buy a car.

Tesla company or the owner itself is really having that come and go kind of decision towards bitcoin or crypto which they do accept in the past and then stop later on then starts to accept once again.
There's a specific market for that even though you do say that no one had bought Tesla when it was still accepting bitcoin? How can you prove that?
No one would know about history or sales stats unless if you are part of the company so you cant really make out conclusions in regards to this one.

To my knowledge, Tesla sold at least two cars for Bitcoin.

Those who earn income in Bitcoin, it's logically better for them to pay in Bitcoin than converting Bitcoin to FIAT and pay then in FIAT.

A smart trader can make on one trade enough to buy a Tesla.

With the expected delays of the cybertruck, I’d probably buy a model 3 so I can play around with the self driving beta until I can get my hands on the cybertruck. That is, is Elon accepted Bitcoin. Trading Bitcoin for a Tesla is one thing, selling your Bitcoin for fiat to buy a car just seems dirty. I’ll continue to wait Elon, but the clock is definitely ticking.

i believe they did or planning to let bitcoin be a payment again soon, because according to the last tweet of Elon is the tesla company will accept bitcoin again though with some clarity .
oh , so Elon does not accept bitcoin still for now? i have been seeing you Og loving this cars from Tesla eversince , hope that the cybertruck will be released any time soon so you'll get what you are looking for .

First, Tesla must allow Bitcoin payments. But I really like the appearance of Tesla. Every time I see a Tesla passing by, I really want to change to a Tesla to satisfy my mentality.

When Bitcoin was initially allowed for payment, I remember the news that someone successfully used Bitcoin to buy Tesla, but now I can’t find the source of the information after so long, but if allowed, I would choose Bitcoin to pay. Buying Tesla, apart from the payment method, the appearance of Tesla is very popular. After buying Tesla, it will benefit more as the price of Bitcoin increases.

Whoever pays for a Tesla first (using Bitcoin) is going to have a very, very cool story to tell. I can’t wait for Elon to send tweets updating how many cars were purchased with Bitcoin. I’m sure there’s a way to track how much BTC is sent to their wallet, right?

Nice option is to buy Tesla using bitcoin but dont think it works now? I am interested to see news when will and how will that work. We need to wait for this solution, not long I hope. Then will I decide if buy that way or no. It depends of actual price of btc too.

Those who intent to buy Tesla, what you have found in it? Why not exchange Bitcoin to fiat and buy other car? I dont understand the idea of buying an electric car, if you dont have a private house or a parking place with electric socket. What is the point to spend hours charging your car, when you could fill the tank in less than 5 min on a gas station.

If I had a chance to buy Tesla using Bitcoin, I would not do it. I would not buy it until my city becomes more electric car friendly. The only option I see me buying Tesla using Bitcoin is just for fun and test how this option really works.


How you plan to use your future cybertruck? Just to stand out and catch envious glances. As it looks like an ugly pickup truck with a trunk from compact crossover

ALLOW AGAIN i guess the proper term.

But you also Knew that you can't afford tesla that's why we are staying in our car looking for them to pass us by  ;D

it will work if the company accepts crypto again specially bitcoin , things that had stopped months ago according to Elon Musk .

There are electric cars and then there is Tesla. It's not the same. Tesla makes electric cars because they want to, it's their mission. Traditional automakers make electric cars because they have to. But actually they don't like them and are not able too make money out of them. And that is also reflected in their cars. So traditional automakers make lousy electric cars, weak power, small mileage, bad batteries, no charging infrastructure, slow charging, no proper tech. Because they don't want you to buy them. They want you to buy fossil cars because that is where they know how to make money.

So if an electric car, then the only real option is still just Tesla. Most powerful motors, best performance cars, best joyride, very long range, state of the art batteries, very fast charging, biggest charging infrastructure in the world, super tech in the car, hardware for full autonomy, you will make money when the car will work for you as a robo-taxi.

And charging Tesla is fast. It takes minutes, not hours. When you use the Superchargers. And you do it when the car is parked and not needed. Average American drives 3 hrs a day. The rest of the time the car is parked and available for charging.


Those who say there is not enough charging stations, most of the time have no idea how many charging stations actually there is.
  

Do you have a tesla? I dont, but I have google. It shows that it takes to 30min to make a full charge with supercharger, but it takes 5-6 hours to charge it with a regular charger. It takes me 5min to fill a full tank of my car.

With full charge I can drive for around 600km, while with my car I can make about 1000km. My city is not so friendly for electric cars yet. We have, maybe about hundred charging station, but they are regular. With a "5-6h to get full charge", one charging station can serve 4 cars per day only (no one would set an alarm, to go at night and free charging wire for a next car).

I dont want to say that Tesla is a bad car. It is not, but it is not for everyone and for every city. Also you are bind to planning your ride.

I'm not going to buy a Tesla. But yes, I'll wait for 100K and buy myself something more interesting. Like a Lambo or a Bugatti.

One of main question is is it worth that amount of money? Tesla electric car won’t come cheap, and you can expect to pay over £57,000 for one. So there’s just one question left Is it worth it?

waiting for $100k that's for sure and this is my wish since a few months ago and hopefully I won't be tempted and not swayed in a temporary hike.
but to buy tesla with bitcoin? I didn't think about it at all and I don't think I would trade my assets for a car.
even if I need a car, I will try to use other means so that I don't exchange my assets for an item.
because for me it is not worth it when btc is exchanged for an item or product.

I will definitely buy a car whenever bitcoin will reach above of $100k  but I will never pay using bitcoin because bitcoin has a bright future but the car would become almost useless after some years.

I will not sacrifice my bitcoins for Tesla, I will wait for Toyota to issue an announcement that it can be paid with Bitcoin, because Tesla is a luxury car in my country, calculate the large annual tax, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the vehicle tax.

I would buy it with Fiat if i were rich, I'm not that crazy to pay with Bitcoin for a new item, that will be obsolete with a selling price that will drop in the future. I'd better keep my Bitcoins for future investments because Bitcoin prices can still double. The Tesla relesed news that they accept Bitcoin as payment is only a joke to make market shaking and Elon will take profit on that, LOL.

who will buy a Tesla using bitcoin, maybe for those of you who have a lot of bitcoin it will be easy for you to buy an electric car, but for now I don't have bitcoin to be able to buy an electric car, maybe in the future I will try, because for now I'm still new in the crypto world.. with me entering this forum, I have gained a lot of experience in this forum..

- In bitcoin, not everyone is rich boss, many are just employees with ambition to earn a little extra money ready for retirement plan and we know what it means, can not splurge with some new toy that Tesla created, such toys were only in vogue during the first few months of their launch and then were replaced while exactly as you say bitcoin is a long-term vogue, sometimes selling in the future is still profitable. At least determined that bitcoin will have a lot of buyback demand but Tesla only has new production and waives responsibility after a few years

Having the capacity to satisfy a want or need, do you get to satisfy that want or need or you just post it forward?

I don't mind using a portion of my bitcoin to satisfy a need now so long as, its a pressing need and perhaps the last resort to fund the purchase of that need is me withdrawing a portion of my bitcoin portfolio.

All I need to determine is, is it really necessary for me to get a Tesla now or its more better to wait. Once I could satisfy answer this and its satisfactory, then its a green. Mind you, it agrees only with a portion and not all.

I support what you said, it is not always about buying what we want but doing it at the right time for there time when we have gone for something that's important than what we want and if this is not the issue, the ATH market season is the best time to buy the expensive things that we wanted. However, initial investment capital needs to be put into consideration.

I don't know the updated news of buying a Tesla car with Bitcoin, but it seemsI don't know the updated news of buying a Tesla car with Bitcoin, but it seems It costs a little more to buy a Tesla car with Bitcoin. So maybe they are not paying much attention to buying Tesla cars with Bitcoin.

As of now, bitcoin is priced at $48k-$49k. I wouldn't, let's all wait until bitcoin reaches $100k, and let's all buy our brand new cars. Tesla is just part of the choice but if there's a better car that would fit into the likes of me then I'll choose it.

They've stopped accepting bitcoin payments due to the reason Elon that mining bitcoin isn't good for the environment.
(https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/12/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-stop-accepting-bitcoin-for-car-purchases.html)

But there is another news that they're likely to accept it again since Elon has been enlightened again.
(https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jul/22/tesla-likely-to-start-accepting-bitcoin-as-payment-again-says-elon-musk)

When I am spending $35,000 or $45,000 to purchase a brand new car, I am at least expecting a vehicle that I can use for 10-15 years without major issues. But with Tesla, I need to replace the battery every 5 years or so, and it is going to cost me at least $10-15K. I understand that they have developed some batteries which can last much longer. But they are not allowed, since these batteries are prone to overheating and explosions. They need to improve their battery technology.

I think no one can buy Tesla, its too expensive. Yeah you can buy tesla shares but ever since Elon Musk manipulated the market both for bitcoin and dogecoin, i have no interest in his products.

It is not just the battery issue. Overall maintenance costs are much higher with Tesla. So unless you are a radical environmentalist, it doesn't make much sense to go for a Tesla EV. You can get a better gasoline driven car for less than half the cost. The catch here is that gasoline prices are going up and if the oil price once again reach three digits ($ per barrel), then it may burn a hole in your pocket. But if you take in to account the battery replacement costs and the expenses required for maintenance, then it is almost even.

http://www.bitcoinforecast.com

If I disregard the time he manipulated the market, I think buying a Tesla for the environment is a great idea, but it's very expensive, and there are many ways to help the environment without spending a lot of money on that car, and besides, the maintenance is high, parts aren't cheap, and there isn't any surplus on it like there is on the existing cars. If it's $100k, I'd rather hodl it than spend it because the value of BTC always appreciate, it's not worth it to spend until reaching its full potential.

The reasons you give are quite logical. and I think a lot of people agree with you.
but if that situation really happened. there will be a tremendous increase in the market. this is related to a real platform that accepts bitcoin as a means of payment. Of course, this will be contradictory if the transaction process is carried out in a country with strict crypto regulations. because we know that not everyone is legalizing crypto. although there is no prohibition.

enjoy your time. and good luck with your planning.

For people who do not have enough money, maybe buying an electric car at such a high price is not worth it. 
But for some people, buying an electric car at an expensive price is a value of its own satisfaction.  There is a great sense of pride and prestige from friends, relatives or co-workers. 
Tesla is a cool car that deserves to be owned by a conglomerate or billionaire.

Sadly, no one will. Fast forward from the day OP made this post to today, Tesla no longer accepts Bitcoin as a payment method. I find it somewhat bad that they gave us hope for a better adoption and took it right back from us. However, with or without them, they'll always be adoption!

In my country, cryptocurrency buying and selling system has not been introduced yet as the central government and central bank are still working against bitcoin. However, the system of buying Tesla cars with Bitcoin will be introduced in our country soon.

As Elon Musk is thinking of starting to get payments with Bitcoin for Tesla cars again, I wonder how many people will be interested in this. When they did it first, I didn't hear about any people who bought Tesla with Bitcoin. People don't want to spend so much money by converting a lot of coins I guess. They don't want to stop HODLing their coins. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there are not many people still aiming to do so.
