I’m not sure if I got tricked or not, it sounds ridiculous but apparently you have to pay extra to get heated backseats in Teslas. It’s a software thing, so it’s not like you need to install new seats. It works similar to miners - consume electricity and generate heat
- francisduvivier 6y agoWho knows, maybe the seat "is" actually using mining to heat the seats. That would be quite the April fools joke.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoEvery resistive heating device, be it hot water system; space heater; kettle; oven; stove; heat lamp; etc, could just be a proof-of-work IoT device that generates (very little) income.
- paulmd 6y agoIf everything did that, the profit from doing it would be almost nothing, as difficulty increased. It would also be wildly more expensive than just a simple piece of nichrome wire, and you also now have to have a cellular module and a significant amount of continuous data traffic over it.
- sneak 6y agoYes, but people would make money in the gradient in between when nothing does it, and when everything does it.
