That system is cool, but could be a little painful for a Model S. At 3.3kW it's enough to charge a LEAF overnight, but it'll only give you about 10MPH charging, so a Model S could take quite a long time to fill. For most people's day-to-day it would be OK, but if you ever do two 200-mile days back to back, it could end up being a bottleneck. I suppose you could plug in for those cases and use the wireless for the common case.
You'll also lose a decent bit of efficiency in the deal. Electricity is cheap so not a big problem, but it bugs me.
If it could charge at the same rate as my UMC could, I would probably get it. My garage is very narrow, and I have to lean out of the way of the charger to get out of the garage. Having the space back would be worth it.
