They are legally required to report it that way. The quarterly shareholder reports include revenue with and without Bitcoin.

It's an okay-ish alternative to a password, but if we're going to use cryptographic secrets for auth, I'd hope to see more of a handshake and challenge-response involved. As it sta…

Just curious, do you have stats on your watts per mile efficiency you can share? How it compares to the EPA estimates?

If I drove my manual better, I could probably achieve that, but spirited driving made me replace everything twice over in 100k miles, with a third needed soon. :(

Depends on where you live. In West Virginia? No, it's almost all coal based. In Vermont? Yes, their grid is 100% renewable. Source: https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissi…

Tesla's brake pads for the Model 3 are scheduled for replacement after 250,000 miles of use (according to tesla rep. I spoke to). No, I did not mistype that.
