Tesla is may be testing Dogecoin as a cryptocurrency payment option. On January 11, a Twitter user going by the handle [@BitDeepu](https://twitter.com/BitDeepu) revealed in a screenshot Tesla code showing Dogecoin as means of payment.

\
Notably, Tesla’s source code shows that the memecoin holders can now buy Tesla Model Y with their DOGE tokens.

This news comes after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on December 14, that the electric carmaker would accept his favorite coin — DOGE for merchandise on a test basis. He [said](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1470703708677840896),

\
However, before this, Musk asked his Twitter followers if Tesla should accept DOGE as a form of payment in May. Among the respondents, 78.2% replied yes.

\
Although the image shows that the electric carmaker giant integrated crypto payment with Dogecoin, there is no official announcement from the company.

\
Note that Musk is the biggest fan of the memecoin. He once called Dogecoin, a meme-inspired digital asset, a 'hustle' during his guest-host on the "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) comedy sketch TV show in May.

\
Last year, Tesla said it would stop accepting Bitcoin for its products, less than 2 months after the company started receiving the largest crypto by market cap for payment.
