Someone bought a $100,000 Tesla with Bitcoins - chairman - 12-07-2013
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The things you can buy with the digital currency Bitcoin continue to grow, from sandwiches to fine art -- and now expensive cars.
A Florida man bought a Tesla Model S from a Lamborghini dealership in Newport Beach, Calif., this week. It was the first time the dealer had accepted Bitcoin, it said.
"That's right, an electronic currency was used to purchase a fully electric vehicle," the dealer's blog stated.
The buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought the top-of-the-line Tesla (TSLA) for $103,000, which was equivalent to 91.4 Bitcoins on Tuesday, the day of the sale, said Cedric Davy, marketing director at the dealership.
The sale came about after the man contacted the dealership on Monday asking if he could use Bitcoin to pay for the Tesla, explaining that he had been turned down by other sellers, Davy said.

Good for him, although the Tesla company is probably doing this as a publicity, sort of in a way to tell the world they are relevant and hip, willing to accept bitcoin payment and keep up with the trends.
Although, when will electric cars become more mainstream?
