In a recent teaser video, Tesla showcased what wireless charging for its electric vehicles might look like. While the company provided minimal details about the technology or its implementation, Elon Musk hinted at its integration into future robotaxis.
Tesla released a teaser video Friday showing what wireless charging of the company’s electric vehicles might look like in the future. But if you’re hoping for detailed info about what that infrastructure will entail one day, you’re out of luck.“Something we’re also doing is, and it’s really high time we did this, is inductive charging,” Musk said on Oct. 10. “So, the robotaxi has no plug. It just goes over the inductive charger and charges. So, yeah. It’s kind of how it should be.
…but once we’re shown the fully charged screen, it zooms in to only show the remaining time. But viewers can’t see if that’s fully charged.This obfuscation may be intentional, of course. Musk often releases teasers for technology that hasn’t even been worked on yet. Remember when the billionaire announced his robot project in 2021 and it was just a person
The Cybercab itself still faces a number of hurdles before it can become a reality. And Musk says release of the product is still, something that’s probably way too optimistic given all the challenges Tesla faces—not least of which are the regulatory approvals from local governments. That’s probably why Musk held his demonstration at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, California, rather than on real streets.
