This Tesla owner says he mines up to $800 a month in cryptocurrency with his car

There's a lot to unpack here but one of the last lines sums it up best:

quote:

But for Raval, mining cryptocurrencies off his Tesla isn’t just a gimmick. Instead, it is a big part of his plan to make his Tesla a fully autonomous robotaxi that earns crypto anytime it’s not driving.

lol that they interview another guy who did it and gave up saying that it was loving stupid and a waste of time.

quote:

Allessi, for example, purchased his car before Jan. 2017, meaning that he was grandfathered into a scheme where he has free and unlimited supercharging for the life of his vehicle.

In 2018, he estimates that over a 60-hour window, he would make $10 worth of bitcoin, all of which was at a profit, because he didn’t have to pay for power.

But even though it was profitable, it was hardly worth it, he says.

quote:

“Did it work? Yes. Did it mine anything worthwhile to be able to be profitable in any way, shape, or form? No,” explained Allessi.

Raval estimates that he mines roughly 20 hours a day off his Tesla battery. Though the price of altcoins like ethereum are prone to volatility, Raval has baked in other backstops to ensure profitability.

For one, he stakes his ethereum on "Midas.Investments," a custodial crypto investment platform that offers him an annual percentage yield of 23% on his investment. He also never cashes out to U.S. dollars so that his crypto nest egg keeps growing.

Sounds like he hasn't actually made any money yet. Also, he doesn't have any bitcoins, because he gave them all to a website in exchange for magic beans

Or, for instance, modern key fobs. Oh wow, you can simply press a button rather than retrieving an object from your pocket then inserting it into a slot and twisting it, thereby saving 0.27 seconds? Wow, we truly are living in the future. You can never go back after convenience like that.

My key fob is slower than traditional key method. Theres a very noticible delay between pushing the brake in, pressing the start button, and having the car actually start since its scanning for the fob, compared to just slamming a key in and turning it and having the car start right away. Oh and it doesnt work half the time when its cold so I have to sit there and gently caress with the locking/unlocking until the circuitry or whatever in the fob warms up enough for the ignition to work. Id like to have a normal ignition again.

your mercedes/nissan is busted and that has nothing to do with keyless ignition as a premise lmao

and i used to own an s2000 where i'd have to do basically the same but after using the key to turn on the car before the push button ignition would function

General Motors was one of many automakers using this year’s Consumer Electronics Show to debut new electric vehicles. On the delivery side, GM’s BrightDrop last-mile delivery division showed off its fleet of electric delivery vans, and announced huge reservations from FedEx and Walmart.

This news signals that large-scale shipping firms like FedEx are quickly converting to electric vehicles, but also retailers—which has the ability to shift the economics of the entire delivery ecosystem in the coming years.

According to the GM, Walmart signed an agreement to reserve 5,000 of BrightDrop’s EV600 and smaller EV410 electric delivery vans to support the retail giant’s growing last-mile delivery network and goal of operating a zero-emissions logistics fleet by 2040.

FedEx signed an agreement reserving priority production for 2,000 electric delivery vans over the next few years, adding to the logistics firm’s initial reservation of 500 BrightDrop EVs announced last year. FedEx is working on a plan to add up to 20,000 more in the coming years, with even longer-range plans to expand testing of its electrified container to 10 markets starting in 2022.

GM said both announcements “demonstrate growing momentum for BrightDrop’s electric delivery solutions, with two major Fortune 500 companies.” BrightDrop publicly launched as a business at last year’s CES, and its first EV600 electric light commercial vehicles were delivered to FedEx last month.

The EV600 is built on GM’s Ultium electric vehicle platform that will soon underpin a range of vehicles, including commercial delivery vans, high-zoot Cadillac luxury cars, the new GMC Hummer EV, and many other mass-market electric cars as the country’s largest automaker joins its contemporaries in phasing out internal combustion engines.

In a spectacular show of force, not only did Bazingla inspire an industry change, but Bazingla also self-owned into place. Now there is backlogged self-owning to work off, and a literal hard-into-place trained network of broken promises and causal detritus to sweep up, and the other major companies have built actual solutions being bought by market.

Tesla's quality falls to its obvious nonmerit, and it will take the better part of a human generation, if not longer, for people to forgive and forget Elon Musk's middling, despicable bullshit.

CONGRATULATIONS

I have a theory the dude is sitting terrified and rigidly with his thumbs up his rear end on a much bigger, similarly enmeshed, Neuralink/networked learning problem and The Hague doesn't even begin to cover it
