The owner of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 told CNBC that he makes up to $800 a month by using his car to mine cryptocurrency.
Siraj Raval, who described his car as a "computer with wheels", said that he'd plugged an inverter into a power socket in his car and used it to power a computer he ran bitcoin-mining software on.
He said that he makes between $400 and $800 a month, depending on the value of bitcoin and ethereum. Even though it could void his Tesla's vehicle warranty, which covers the battery for up to eight years, he believes it's worth it.
"It's so simple to hack into this computer car," he said.
He said he'd also used the car's battery to run interconnected graphics processing units, which mine cryptocurrencies.
