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

“It’s much faster, and it’s much more energy efficient,”

How does this make any sense? They still need to recharge their car. It's no different then an actual mining rig.

It's marketing. The guy from the article is just there to sell his brand. https://twitter.com/sirajraval

Yup. It's that machine learning plagiarizing guy. https://nitter.net/AndrewM_Webb/status/1183150368945049605

"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."

I guess the only other way is free charging from your employer, or if charger prices are somehow cheaper than your own home (are they?)
