I said "curbside parking and parking garages" which is different and what is available to people in cities, you know, where the majority of the population resides. The benefits of induction over cables is obvious in those cases.

Tesla wouldn't have put more battery there, and even if they did it wouldn't add significant capacity. Look at the size of the extra pack.

That's what the company Tesla bought, Wiferion, uses.

Low power AC charging is much cheaper to install than DCFC and doesn't require vehicle throughput. You just park your car where you normally park it and it's charged the next day, just like people charging at home. This is much better than driving to a DCFC station and waiting for a charge...

Not the case with newer magnetic resonance inductive charging.

The service manual from Tesla literally says it's for inductive charging. Plus the fact that those plugs are far too small for the current flow from the add on pack.

Curbside and parking garage charging spots are prone to wear and tear and vandalism/theft, but there is no point in making them DCFC. Apartment and condo dwellers would benefit from cordless induction AC charging. It's an elegant solution to an actual problem, just one you haven't considered.

It's fine for lower power AC charging, which is the way most people charge their vehicles most of the time.

They can't if the car is locked, and I assume the charge port door is disabled if you're in drive.

What do you think the vertical drop was from takeoff to landing? Looks like about 3ft in the video.

You aren't standing there holding the charge cord for 5 minutes, you're likely sitting in your car doing something else for 15+ minutes and not constantly looking around your surroundings the entire time. It's a completely different situation.

First, the manual says it's for induction charging, second, the connectors are much too small for traction pack current levels, not even close.

Yes, they bought Maxwell for the DBE tech they are using in the 4680 cells.

This is incorrect. Efficiency is very close to plug in levels. It also eliminates cords in areas where they may not be practical or prone to theft and damage, such as curbside parking. This is really key technology to enabling apartment dwelling EV adoption. From 6 years ago...

So they were able to break the window. It sounds as if she had called 911 first instead of talking with a friend for 8 minutes they might have been able to save her.

Maybe for thin mylar reflective foil sandwiching a thin bubble wrap or something. Might lose a bit of headroom in the rear seats but those are most often empty.
