This was a logical comment by MKBHD because high power wireless (induction) charging has historically been far less efficient than plug in charging (which is usually in the 90%+ range) But Tesla bought Wiferion, a German wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging company, in mid-2023 for $76 million, but sold the company a few months later. Tesla kept many of their top engineers in a "acqui-hire" move. Gaining the expertise to build a more efficient induction charging system for future Tesla models. It will be a very convenient system for charging, especially for at-home charging overnight. But I wonder if it will be fast enough to support the planned RoboTaxi business model.
