Announcing TeslaCoin. iXcoin is adding Native - C o l o r e d - Coins to its code, and TeslaCoin will be the first to ride on top of iXcoin's ultra secure network. TeslaCoin code is being finalized - there will be a 3 day heads-up. No sneak starts here. This will be SHA256. That's not gonna be popular but let's face it, we'd all rather merge mine BTC, LTC and another 100 coins using the same hardware and electricity costs rather than 1 coin like any scrypt coin. SHA256 and ASICS are the future - so TeslaCoin will me merge mined, although not a initial start as to five averting a fair chance to accumulate it.

This would be an excellent proof of concept. Start thinking of applications. (1) Reservation of access to a leased vehicle. A smart property is created that can unlock the parked car at a certain time (see: zipcar). (2) Electric charge credits. Issue credits to use Supercharger network. (3) Generate solar power and earn credits for supercharger network.

Oh god another scamcoin then huh? What a horrible waste of a good idea, a good domain etc. By the way did you get the .org and .net too? Plus maybe the country code domain for whatever nation the Tesla corp is incorporated in? -MarkM-

Not at all. This coin will either be done right or not at all. Send me your input.

Hate to break this to you but its already been announced.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=419494.0 Looks like they beat you to it by a day. Regardless, I like your idea better.
