- WTF?
Tesla can already move about on its own and matching that to signal strength from the charging pad would be trivial. As to efficiency:Wireless charging for the home is... kinda iffy. You have to park exactly on the pad, they're expensive, and you still lose a fair bit of energy doing it. The amount of time saved vs plugging in is minimal, too.
Wireless charging makes more sense in a public infrastructure sort of way, like taxis queued up at a stand or something where they connect/disconnect frequently.

" The SAE has found that over a 10-inch air gap, wireless charging can operate at up to 94 percent efficiency"
