i rather by a very good bicycle  like the race on, car are overrated, you don't need a car in the city

much more healthy in this way and less costly, no gasoline, warranty etc...

Though you not only drive in the city alone. Maybe in huge cities. But even then, you are slow on longer distances, which means you lose time, which is money somehow.

And you don't want to drive your girlfriend around on the backseat of your bike too. Girls look, don't believe emanzipation, still to what a man has reached to create a life for both of them.

a well i don't have a girlfriend, and i don't think i need one, i can do 50 Km/h easily in a bicycle, this is more than enough to move from place in the city to another place always in the same city

i can only agree if we are talking about travelling outside your city, to reach a new one, but there are bus for that...

50km/h is a lot in the city. Especially better than most cars in rush hour.

And yes, if you don't go to parties or so then busses are fine too. Otherwise they don't drive at good times at the night too. Except it's a really big city.

keep in mind that with all the traffic lights, that we have here, basically every 500 meters or so, you can't really go mad with speed, so a 20-30km/h in most cases will suffice, which is a joke if you have good legs

i don't know how many there are where you live, but traffic lights are helping more us cyclist than anything  Grin

Yeah i know, since you can cross the streets, use the streets and all. Though hopefully you don't drive as crazy as these new york bike couriers. Cheesy

Looks like a very nice car. Someone with a car of the future asking to be paid with the currency of the future, seems legit. The asking price for the car is a bit higher than you would expect. 300x380(asking amount of Bitcoin x Price of bitcoin)=$114,00 when the price of the car is around $80,000. He should be asking for around 210 Bitcoin. But other than that, I really like the look of the car and the fact that it is an electric car makes it even better. The currency of the future and the cars of the future really suit each other.

He probably started that offer when the bitcoin price was half of it's todays value...

The car of the future with the currency of the future, perfect match Smiley
Indeed Smiley, i doubt it tho it will be sold for bitcoin in the end. It will probably be sold for cash and seller will convert to BTC

You never know, a lot of Chinese people have a lot of Bitcoin. I couldn't see why no one would buy such a nice car, but at that price, I doubt anyone will buy it. He is asking for $40,000 over the actual car price.

it's a crap (trap) ... for this branch of car.

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/08/consumer-reports-tesla-model-s-has-more-than-its-share-of-problems/index.htm

only a few of people know what is the problem with electric propulsion (in resume, cost of the replacment part ... charger in first place, controller of motor in second place).

it's not cheap AT ALL.

They should ask Toyota with their hybrid tech. I think they have a lot of experience and toyota is top on having no needed repairs. Toyota even withdraws car to the repair shop very often. Other car manufacturers don't care about most things. They calculate "Cost of withdraw and repair of all cars against reparation for death car drivers." If the latter is lower then they leave it be.

Tesla S are programmable and has internet connectivity, right? I saw a guy on youtube that programmed something on the car. In any case, that dude who bought it has a good taste for cars. Smiley

I'm not sure about the programmability and net connectivity, but I'm not really a fan of the Tesla S. I don't know why, I just don't really like the styling of it.. It's like a 4-door sedan masquerading as a sports car or something. Huh

That's what i think too. The design is somewhat lame, especially at the front. Though tesla is really on the edge of tech. Lately i saw a video with a self driving tesla. Worked fully fine. And another video where a tesla outperformed all supersportcars they tried to set against it. Easy with having an electric motor i guess.

I do not think anyone with 300 BTC will spent his coins for the car. Car value is always depreciating.

Not all cars. Especially green cars can go the other way. I bought a car for Amount X in 2013 and now this same old car sells for 125% X.

It's all about trends.

I imagine it might be similar with Tesla, though it's really expensive. But, i believe, they have a contract for free loading electricity for a year or more. That is valuable...

The latest model X is much more impressive ---> http://www.teslamotors.com/modelx .... I really want one of those, but the replacement batteries will cost you a arm and a leg.

I think the Model X has a 8 year, infinite mile battery and drive unit warranty...  Huh ..... The 155 mph top speed is just enough excitement I need for a car seating 7 people.  Grin

Now to get Elon Musk to accept Bitcoin as a payment method, would be another challenge.  Grin   

Well considering he was the inventor of Paypal maybe he has some ego problems with it..

I think its a perfect match tho, currency of the future and cars of the future. If you don't accept Bitcoin payments making electric cars you'll look like an idiot in years time. When BTC goes 100K each I'll give this guy one for the best car he can build Cheesy

That will work if your BTC increases in value in long term. That Tesla car does not offer any other function. It still uses electricity, which cost CO2 to generate.
