Recently, a blockchain programmer used a Tesla electric car to run a full Bitcoin node.
Twitter user Bcoin He published a series of videos showing the computer system on board Tesla that is used to operate the entire Bitcoin node.
According to the video, Bcoin got the electric car operating system to download the Bitcoin blockchain and function as a fully functional node.

Bcoin represents a series of projects that seek to find new implementations for the operation of the Bitcoin node, such as downloading the BTC blockchain in a Tesla.
However, some Twitter users were quick to point out the danger of running a node through a running vehicle.
Brandy Lee Camacho said the knot could affect the car's user interface and cause long-term damage to the vehicle's internal storage system.
Not a good idea! Two problems …
1) Memory & processing concerns that could impact UX
2) Wear on internal storage. Honestly, my biggest concern. #Tesla is known to have issues with memory module lifespan due to limited read / write cycles.– Brandy Lee Camacho (@ brandylee79) January 17, 2020
Other users were glad to appreciate the novelty of the achievement of Bcoin, saying that "we may not have flying cars, but you can synchronize the blockchain with your Tesla in 2020."
