Tesla’s next business: Turning your solar roof and EV into Bitcoin miners

I don't believe the author knows what the hell he's talking about about any of these things.

You barely get any power from the size of the solar panel to make a difference with anything in the car.

Bit coin requires tons of cpu processing power to be profitable, even if it's part of a pool. I'd be surprised if you got more than a dollar over the entire life of the car.

You need a decent reliable network connection, otherwise you can't mine new blocks. I'm assuming teslas have some sort of network already, but I can't imagine it would be efficient for this.

We're already reaching the point where anything but a super computer can make a bitcoin.

Unless it's for pure marketing purposes, this is a horrible idea that can be picked apart with a few seconds of critical thinking.

Please tech websites, stop writing dumb articles.

Not sure you can compete with the low cost of 24/7 hydro-electric in parts of the US and China.

Running mining equipment off solar will leave the equipment out-of-use for more than half the day. Mining equipment is a significant cost factor for crypto. Even if energy is free, less than 50% utilization is a no-go for mining crypto.

Pfffffffff. Give me what he is smoking.
