Seems that Tesla is testing payment in Bitcoin and another coin called SHIBA. However upon investigation it seems that the coin is called SHIBA but when he did a test transaction the address started with D. And then he did a test payment on the Doge network and when the payment was accepted it confirmed on the Tesla servers.

Never in a million years would of I guessed that he was actually serious and would start accepting Doge. Was assuming he would accept Bitcoin and Ethereum. Definitely not Shiba or Doge.

Wonder if someone will actually buy an entire Tesla vehicle paid for by Dogecoin.

I also thought the same thing. for bitcoin and ethereum, it still makes a lot of sense to accept it as a medium of exchange for tesla. however, for doge and Shiba, I don't think that Elon Musk has any particular purpose other than to create hype for the two coins.
Honestly, I think that doge and shiba are coins that have a very large total volume, and there is no purpose in making them. however, I'm curious as to what Elon Musk's goal was to make these two coins popular. as far as i think is, he's just messing around with those two coins.
