A Tesla owner says he makes up to $800 a month mining cryptocurrency with his car. He says it's worth it, even though it could void his warranty.

The owner of a Model 3 car said he makes up to $800 a month by using his car to mine.

Siraj Raval, who described his car as a "Computer with wheels", said that he plugged an inverter into a power sockets in his car and used it to power his computer.

He said that he makes between $400 and $800 a month. He believes it's worth it even though it could void his vehicle warranty.
He said it was so easy to hack into the computer car.

He said that he used the car's battery to mine cryptocurrencies.

He said he spends 20 hours a day mining. He said he spends between $30 and $60 a month on his car's battery.

Chris Allessi, a Wisconsin electric-vehicle dealer, told CNBC that using aTesla to mine cryptocurrencies wasn't worth it.

Allessi doesn't have to pay to load up his battery because he bought his car before the company's free lifetime Supercharging program. He said that he used the free power to mine cryptocurrencies, but that he gave up because it wasn't profitable enough.

Did it work? Yes. Is it worthwhile to be profitable in any way, shape, or form? Allessi spoke about his experience mining monero. Allessi estimated that if he mined it now he would get around $1 or $2 worth of the currency in 60 hours.

He asked, "Why would you want to put that kind of wear and tear on a car?"

The difficulty is very high. He said he could make more money working at Mcdonald's.

Thomas Sohmers told CNBC that he didn't think it would be possible to make so much profit mining using his car.

He said that he didn't plan on stopping mining. He wants to make his car a fully-automatedrobotaxi that can drive whenever it's not on the road.
