Elon Musk keeps his word: Tesla already officially supports Dogecoin as a means of payment

Just five words: Tesla merch buyable with Dogecoin in a Twitter message have been enough for Elon Musk, founder of this brand, and SpaceX to place the cryptocurrency as the most bullish.

On March 24, the American businessman already announced that his cars could be purchased with Bitcoins, triggering the price of this currency, although two months later he ruled out this possibility, alluding to the environmental impact of mining bitcoins.

Later, it was dogecoin, a cryptocurrency for which Elon Musk had previously shown his sympathy. Already in 2019 he commented that this could become his favorite cryptocurrency.

Musk talked about this possibility last December, but it has not been until now when the possibility of acquiring some items using Dogecoin has been activated on the web.

Tesla makes it clear on its website that the dogecoin is the only cryptocurrency that it accepts for the online purchase of products such as the Tesla cyber whistle (300 dogecoin, about 52 euros) or the “Giga Texas” belt buckle (can be purchased for 835 dogecoin).

In the page of the North American company it has also been incorporated a short Q&A which aims to clarify some of the doubts that potential buyers may have.

Among the most relevant information we find the following:

  • Tesla products that can be purchased with Dogecoin will have a symbol of the cryptocurrency next to the order button.
  • To shop using Dogecoin in the Tesla Store, you will need a Dogecoin wallet.
  • It is not possible to cancel an order placed with Dogecoin. Nor can products purchased using cryptocurrency be returned.
  • Product prices will be displayed directly on Dogecoin.
  • You cannot use multiple wallets to make the same payment. Everything must come from the same wallet.
  • If you make a mistake when paying and include a lower amount, the transaction may be cancelled.
  • If you send more than that amount, Tesla will not return the overcharged amount to the original payment method.

This news how could it be otherwise its price has shot up to 20% this Friday morning. The rise of dogecoin occurs in a session of few movements in the crypto market, making it even more striking.
