I neglected to mention WIFERION, a German wireless charging company that Tesla acquired (acquihired their employees). Michael Sura provides other details worth a read on LinkedIn --> www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7253487584092340224/
Wireless charging, because losing 20kw of energy for every 100kw of energy you put in just is not enough so you make it 90 out if 100. Gotta have an entire wind turbine per car.
IMO Cars should navigate themselves into the correct position and then have an automatic direct plug-in system like that snake instead of wireless charging.
I think wireless charging pads make sense for things like phones and small electronics, but they lose so much energy and are so slow that I don't feel like it makes sense to use them for cars. The only reason a wireless pad "makes sense" for an autonomous car is because it removes the variable of having to manually plug a cable into it when it is time to recharge. Increasing the power a wireless car consumes while charging by 20-50% just doesn't seem like a very smart move.
The thought Tesla is going to have a self-driving car when they can't even get their current cars to drive through a tunnel...... I'm not super knowledgeable on wireless charging but I don't know if it will ever practically deliver enough power. Seems like a self-centering magnetic solution would be better, or something like trams and trolleys use

What an incredible amount of work to possibly save a few seconds.

20-50% 😂😂😂 it's more than 85% .only one or two% less
This is absolutely ridiculous and it's hilarious that anyone is taking this seriously.

I also don't think having a human to plug it in will be that big of a deal because you'll need someone to clean and inspect the car as well.
Yes it's very good option .
