Probably Tesla might have come to mind behind this initiative but Interestingly it isn't Tesla but Daymak
Daymak is a Canadian electric vehicle manufacturer whose goal is to reduce carbon footprint producing one electric vehicle at a time.
The company's interest in cryptocurrency has pushed it to manufacturing crypto mining vehicle by 2023...
Daymak, a Toronto-based electric car company, has announced the launch of its new product, the Daymak Spiritus, a car that will feature cryptocurrency mining. According to its press release, the Daymak Spiritus will be able to mine “from Dogecoin to Bitcoin while it’s parked.”

There has been people getting creatively smart by installing crypto miners in their vehicles but nothing of a vehicle manufacturer I am aware of selling cars with crypto mining functionality.
Getting one of Daymak's vehicles is estimated to cost one approximately $20 000, I like the idea of your car putting money in your pocket and not just taking money out of your pocket.
Daymak vehicles will be powered not only by electricity but solar energy as well, so while Elon is going on about Bitcoin energy consumption its competitor Daymak is providing crypto mining functionality for cars.
We envision a future where your highway tolls, your parking, and your drive thru order will be paid directly on the fly with crypto. Your online bills and your banking can be handled through the same software platform paid in crypto.

The above quote shows how Aldo Baiocchi, president of the company sees future in cryptocurrency.
A decade from now a lot would have changed technology-wise and if we look around cryptocurrencies and blockchain happens to be part of the transformation the world is currently going through.
