Electronic currency has been used to buy an electric car.

A buyer paid for a Tesla Model S using bitcoins, according to the company blog of Newport Lamborghini in Costa Mesa, CA. We first saw the news on Electrek.

"Lamborghini Newport Beach is proud to announce that we are fully capable of accepting Bitcoin as legal tender for vehicles," the dealership writes. "We are excited to be opening the door to this new currency."

Recently, more companies have started proudly accepting bitcoins, including Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.

What is so special about this? Currently Ford Limos, Audi A8 Ls and many other vehicles are listed in Bitpremier. You can even buy your private island in the Micronesia.

Heh.  No, not "legal tender" -- no government backing means no law saying that it's a legal form of payment for all debts.

What the guy would say if he were being correct was "We can and will accept bitcoin as payment for goods."
