Whoever makes a unit with height compensation will win…

no two cars are the same.. not even two Teslas.. some are lower, some are higher.. and this variation matters with inductive charging..

Qualcomm was working on this many years ago…

Why not just make some kind of drive over docking station with spring loaded connection tabs - kind of like how a Roomba vac drives back to its home base and charges.

Those commenting are missing the later part of his statement. The air gap (crumple zone) at the bottom of the pack makes inductive too inefficient, not just the vehicle height. Just raising up a charger still wouldn't get you far.

This is a feature that was never promised so I don't know why anyone is sooking.

There is no coil in the pack, so I don't understand why that is a factor. The pack has an external connector for the charger.

Service manual called it out and my truck has the connector, but you're right Tesla never listed it as a feature.

Lol had to look up “sooking” never heard that word before. It seems like betas and gammas have a lot of rules for what expectations they’re allowed to have.

If somebody steps out of line looks like you guys try to compel their silence. Lolololol! No.

I generally get exactly what I want. Request, convince, command or create. You can call it sooking, if you like.

lol, I didn't realize until this moment that sook was local slang to where I live. Decades on this planet talking with people around the world and I never had a dialect moment before. I'm honestly laughing to myself right now, it's a funny moment. I always thought "Sookie" was a funny name for the character in True Blood, but now I realize the term for crybaby isn't widespread.

Otherwise, this post is quite cringeworthy though. Using terms like betas and gammas and saying you get exactly what you want doesn't dispel the image of being spoiled and whiny.

Sticks and stones my friend— it’s grade-school shit. Not trying to dispel anything. You can feel how you feel. I couldn’t give a flying fuck.

The rest agree with you, funny.

Lotsa sooking Ravens fans after last night

Considering that the wireless phone charger isn’t fixed and still overheats the iphone in the CT, I would like to not test the heating capabilities of the CT battery.

I would read this as every other car outside of CyberTruck has less battery protection against road debris…

..so what is the real message?

There are few people that will pay for the extra kilowatts required for inductive charging.

It's exactly what he's saying. More battery protection = harder to do effective induction charging.

How very Gamma of you.
