No, you should send the exact amount at once for smooth and timely processing of your order.
Which countries accept Bitcoin payments?
Currently, the payment option is only available in the US. Tesla, however, said it would expand options for other countries.
What if I send another cryptocurrency?
Unfortunately, Tesla doesn’t accept the money and it loses money.
How long does it take to process payments?
According to Tesla, the transaction will take 1 minute to complete. If the transaction does not occur, do not try to repeat the payment. Wait for Tesla to send you any notification about payment confirmation on your email. It can take up to six hours to receive the payment.
