    Summary of Model 3 Related Info From Shareholder Letter

    I used this data to update my explainer on the race to 200k U.S. deliveries, whereby the "winner" is the first to lose the Federal EV Tax Credit. It's really Tesla v. GM - but with today's news, it doesn't look like anyone will be able to beat Musk's Merry Band of Disruptors: Plugless | Tesla or...

    Plugless Power Wireless Charging Update

    You rang? You are correct @Electric700. (Disclosures: I work for Plugless and we did not work with Tesla on this integration). We go to truly great lengths to design Plugless to be a fully reversible premium accessory that changes nothing about the EV (no drilling, cutting, breaking etc) - the...

    Plugless Power Wireless Charging Update

    Great question. It's always about cats though - for the record our engineers like all animals including humans - safety is obviously extremely important to us. The scenario is simply not an issue - 1st inductive resonant charging just doesn't work that way (i.e. it's not a microwave for example)...

    Plugless Power Wireless Charging Update

    The difference in efficiency from corded charging is roughly 7% for level 1 charging and roughly 12% for corded level 2 charging. This translates to typically less than a dollar extra less per evening charge (obviously many factors go into this - daily driving mileage, electricity costs.

    Plugless Power Wireless Charging Update

    208V (because his installed at his shop with commercial power) - it's 240V 30-amp at home - which translates to 20 to 25 miles of charge per hour, which is PLENTY of charge for typical daily driving mileage and overnight and/or at work charging.

    Plugless Charging

    Disclosures (I am with Plugless and we did not work with Tesla on our system) - on efficiency. We think all inductive chargers should be judged by the following three criteria - 1. What is the TOTAL wireless system efficiency as compared to the corded equivalent (not the efficiency just across...

    Your math looks sound. So, for example, if you are the typical male driver 35-54 years old and crank about 18,900 miles per year - that 100K will take you 5.3 years to complete, so a premium of about $189 per year.

    You should absolutely. We think all inductive chargers should be judged by the following three criteria - 1. What is the TOTAL wireless system efficiency as compared to the corded equivalent (not the efficiency just across the gap, as an example) 2. As provided by 3rd-party testing and 3. on a...
