On the heels of this morning’s news I have to wonder what the theoretical untapped Bitcoin mining capacity is for a worldwide fleet of parked Tesla vehicles connected to a Tesla GF through Starlink?
Each vehicle has at its disposal a processor that is orders of magnitude more powerful than anything else produced for similar purposes.
And most of those vehicles are parked at any given time
And.....many of those vehicles will be connected to rooftop solar and Powerwalls, making the energy to crunch data carbon neutral.
And.......many of the remaining vehicles are already powered by Tesla Superchargers
And....Tesla already connects its fleet via internet, but can soon do so through its own Starlink network.
And.....the capacity to mine data from one vehicle might seem very tiny, but Tesla already has about 1 Million vehicles connected, and that number is growing at a feverish pace.
And...... rooftop space on any existing or future GF is more than adequate for sufficient Solar plus Battery Storage to power the main hub of such a computational network- with the further benefit of Tesla being entirely vertically integrated in that process as well
And......now that Tesla is openly investing in Bitcoin and will soon accept payments in Bitcoin, the use of its entire vehicle fleet to mine Bitcoin in this environmentally friendly way would further accelerate Tesla’s value exponentially
Tesla - Largest auto manufacturer in the World
Tesla - Largest energy company in the World
Tesla - Largest Cryptocurrency producer in the World
One further benefit - Institutional Short positions will need to close their positions on TSLA when their banks are borrowing money from Tesla/Elon
I love
@HG Wells idea of a TSLA dividend payed in Bitcoin. Perhaps TSLA could also pay vehicle owners fractional shares of Bitcoin based on how many coins their vehicles mined each year. That would help keep vehicles off the street when they are not needed!
- perhaps someone here could ask Elon if this is in the works on Twitter?
