A Tesla owner says he makes up to $800 a month mining cryptocurrency with his car
The owner of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 told that he made up to $800 a month by using his car to mine cryptocurrency.
Siraj Raval, who described his car as a "computer with wheels," said he'd plugged an inverter into a power socket in his car and used it to power a computer running bitcoin-mining software.
He said he made $400 to $800 a month, depending on the value of bitcoin and ethereum. Even though it could void his vehicle warranty, which covers the battery for up to eight years, he believes it's worth it, he said.
He said he'd also used the car's battery to run interconnected graphics-processing units that mine cryptocurrencies.
Raval said that he spent roughly 20 hours a day mining with his Tesla battery and that he paid $30 to $60 a month charging the battery.
Raval said that he wants to make his car a fully autonomous robotaxi that mines whenever it's not on the road, YF.
