Tesla may be working on a wireless home charging solution, according to a quick image displayed during the company’s Investor Day. The image showed a red Tesla Model S parked over what looked like a wireless charging pad, prompting speculations about a potential wireless charging system for residential customers.
Tesla’s Head of Global Charging Infrastructure, Rebecca Tinucci, highlighted the company’s work on expanding its rapid charging infrastructure, including innovations such as prefabricated Superchargers. Tinucci noted that amidst all the hard work, the company still doesn’t “forget to do cool s***,” and displayed a themed Tesla Supercharger modeled after a drive-in Hollywood diner.

The potential for a wireless charging system for Teslas is a game-changer, as it offers convenience and ease of use beyond even the current Supercharger Network. While there are some disadvantages to wireless charging, such as slower charging speeds, if Tesla can find a way to roll out a wireless charging system with a decent charging rate, the company’s vehicles would likely become even more attractive to consumers.
Overall, this development highlights Tesla’s continued innovation and commitment to improving its offerings, and it will be exciting to see what the company comes up with next.
