Those interested in buying a Tesla with Bitcoin must also be residents of the United States. However, the firm has suggested that they would like to extend this feature to customers of other countries in the future.

Earlier in February, it was revealed that Tesla had added Bitcoin worth $1.5 billion to their balance sheet.
