I came here to say this... It's time for this, the military has it, it's on some commercial trucks, 4x4 etc. would love to see it come to a consumer vehicle. I get punctures/slow leaks fairly often and this would be excellent, plus maintaining optimum tire pressure is ideal for range. Overall...

Yes! That's what I was thinking... maybe there is a hint here... multiple wrapped vehicles, different color wraps, maybe the hint is that they will offer factory wrap options. That would be awesome! I could also be overthinking it. :)

Sounds reasonable. I think keeping the fridge, communications, some kind of cooking/heating and/or a/c (depending on climate) powered are the critical items. Having done without power, those were the most painful to do without. An outlet to keep devices charged and you're riding out a power...

Yeah, I've wondered about that. What do you do? Disable appliances until the vehicle and supply the load without a tripping a breaker? I suppose you have to do what powerwall installations do now. Maybe there's a poor man's version of that? Break trips a bunch of times until you figure out what...

I don't believe they do. I believe they are acting to protect one part of the business from another. That's a mistake IMO.

I believe Telsa/Elon is making a strategic mistake by not making their vehicle's V2G/H (whichever is the correct acronym here) compatible. Do we actually know the hardware is there in the car to support with a software update? I know further hardware is needed on the house side, but the...

Maybe it is a screen, and what we're seeing is the screen saver. ?

Sounds like speculation.

The only thing this thread proves, like so many others, is that Tesla REALLY need to announce the official specs!! ?

Well, you put money in and it vends electricity out.... seems reasonable to me. ?

Engineering Explained, the youtube channel calculated it to be roughly equivalent to the switch to air conditioning in the US.

https://spectrum.mit.edu/spring-2015/charging-ahead-a-new-method-for-wireless-power-transfer/ An old article about a spinoff from MIT. They are still around: https://witricity.com/products/automotive-solutions/ https://witricity.com/technology/why-magnetic-resonance/ No idea what tech the...

Many times, but I tend to drive cars with large rims and low profile tires. I like the handling and the looks, but they are more prone to flats. I don't think I've had one from being popped off due to a pothole, it's always been a screw or a nail or one time it was a decent sized chunk of steel...

Of course, there are stupid and lazy people. However, reliable, efficient wireless charging would be a boon and useful for robotaxi scenarios, street parking, and just about everywhere. Imagine if a large percentage of parking spots had wireless charging embedded where it simply charged your...

Agreed. I love the accusation about how people who want wireless charging are stupid and lazy, but then is ignorant of the technological developments in the area. ?

LOL - Well that aged well.

Yeah, one response claimed in the article was how surprised they are by the honest of the report... my thought was, isn't it a good thing that Tesla engineers can feel like they can be honest in writing?

Very rarely. The car is driveable, you don't hear the indicator but I believe it's still functional (one would hope so). I've never had to reboot due to a freeze, but I did have some odd visual artifacts a few times that may have been a software glitch fixed in an update, but a screen/media...

That foot thing is where you slide into the car when Thunderbirds are GO! FAB!

Tesla won't just have an inverter. It will be an Octo-inverter. Sandy will faint when he sees it.
