In a highly anticipated revelation, Tesla’s President Elon Musk once again thrilled Dogecoin supporters by subtly hinting at the possibility of Dogecoin being used for Tesla payments.
During the grand unveiling of Elon Musk Tesla’s futuristic autonomous vehicle, the “Cybercab,” a Shiba Inu—Dogecoin’s iconic symbol—was displayed prominently, setting the Dogecoin community abuzz.
Held on a Hollywood film set, Musk’s entrance in the Cybercab caught the attention of both car enthusiasts and crypto fans alike. The event showcased Tesla’s push for autonomous driving technology, but it was the Shiba Inu’s appearance that fueled speculation about Dogecoin’s potential integration.
The Dogecoin community took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to dissect every detail of the event, believing that Tesla may soon allow Dogecoin as a payment option for its autonomous vehicles.
The official Dogecoin account reacted with excitement, dubbing the vehicle the “Shiba Inu taxi.” Popular Dogecoin advocates like DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) and Sir Doge of the Coin (@dogeofficialceo) enthusiastically speculated about Tesla’s plans, with many wondering if Elon Musk was preparing to announce Dogecoin as an official payment method for the Cybercab. “Did Elon just say we can buy a Tesla Cybercab with Dogecoin?” DogeDesigner tweeted, further fueling the speculation.
The Cybercab, a two-seater vehicle with scissor doors, is Tesla’s latest vision for autonomous transportation. With no steering wheel or pedals, the car is fully autonomous and features a minimalist interior with a central touchscreen for controlling the vehicle’s functions. One notable feature is its wireless charging capability, which eliminates the need for cables. While specifics on range and battery capacity remain undisclosed, Musk indicated that production would begin in 2026, with a target price of under $30,000. He also mentioned that the cost of a Cybercab ride could be as low as $0.20 per mile, a fraction of what public transportation currently charges.
In addition to the Cybercab, Elon Musk also revealed the “Robovan,” a self-driving minibus designed to carry 20 passengers, further solidifying Tesla’s commitment to transforming public transport. The event also featured advancements in Tesla’s humanoid robot project, Optimum, which Musk hinted could play a significant role in the future of automation.
The growing excitement within the Dogecoin community, the cryptocurrency itself seen some movement, with Dogecoin price currently holding at $0.1265. While the speculation continues to build, concrete news on Dogecoin’s potential integration with Tesla remains to be seen. The anticipation, however, is undeniable, as both Tesla fans and crypto enthusiasts await Musk’s next move.
