Here’s How Much a Fully Loaded Tesla Model S Will Cost You in Bitcoin

Tesla bought $1.5 billion in Bitcoin.

It plans to allow people to purchase cars in Bitcoin.

Depending on the model, a Tesla costs somewhere between 1 and 3.33 BTC.

Lamborghinis have been the traditional status symbol for Bitcoin millionaires. After today, expect to see more crypto influencers rolling up in Teslas.

When Tesla reported its $1.5 billion purchase of Bitcoin to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the electric automaker mentioned an important detail in the filing: It wasn’t just buying thousands of Bitcoins—it was going to start accepting them for its products, too.

While that’s still a little ways off, it might behoove Elon Musk-loving Bitcoiners to start the car-buying process. At today’s rate of roughly $45,000 per BTC, they should be able to get a decked out Model S, Tesla’s premier vehicle, for about 3.33 Bitcoin ($149,990).

For the Tesla aficionado, who demands ludicrous precision, that’s the Model S Plaid+, which comes with self-driving capability (knock 0.25 BTC off the price if you want your hands on the wheel at all times.)
