Dogecoin is mentioned in Tesla Cybertruck source code, potentially pointing to DOGE payments for its electric pickup truck.
Elon Musk backs Dogecoin, which is showing a rise in the market as speculation about its use in Tesla purchases.
There are rumors that could be a game changer for Dogecoin (DOGE) and for all those eagerly awaiting the launch of Tesla’s Cybertruck. It turns out that in the code on the Cybertruck payment page, Dogecoin has been mentioned more than 50 times. This has triggered speculation that, perhaps, we could buy this truck with DOGE. Can you imagine paying for your truck with a crypto meme?
Dogecoin, Musk’s Favorite for Cybertruck?
Although neither Tesla nor Musk have officially confirmed this payment method, we already know that the company has allowed the purchase of merchandising with Dogecoin. And with Musk’s known enthusiasm for this cryptocurrency, anything is possible.
In October, several mentions of DOGE were identified in the source code of the Cybertruck page, and now, with the start of the long-awaited Cybertruck sales, the DOGE community has further confirmed these mentions on Tesla’s electric car page.

Most interestingly, no other cryptocurrency has received this honor in Tesla’s codebase. The presence of a complete Dogecoin stylesheet was also noted in the Tesla source code. Despite this, speculation is the order of the day.
The Future of Dogecoin and Tesla: A collaboration in sight?
ICO Drops released a bold prediction:
“Tesla could in the future allow customers to pay for the new Tesla Cybertruck model with DOGE.”
Elon Musk: A Dogecoin Pioneer
This mention of DOGE on the Cybertruck page reflects Elon Musk’s continued affinity for this cryptocurrency. Musk has previously said that DOGE is one of his favorite cryptos, and his actions often influence the meme coin’s price behavior.
His electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla, already allows customers to buy merchandise with Dogecoin. However, enabling it for car purchases would mark a significant change for the meme coin.
It is worth mentioning that Tesla previously allowed Bitcoin payments for cars, but later discontinued this option, citing environmental concerns.
