Just came across this on the German Tesla forum - wow!

Tesla Model S automated charging parking - YouTube

Oh man. I can't wait for that cord to catch the corner and completely break off the charging connection on the car. I love how the camera conveniently positioned to cut off that part of the video when it's going down so you can't see how close it is or if it's actually connected. Looks very very dangerously close to me.

It does look cool though

That's awesome !I wonder what max charging is

That's really cool-looking. It did look like the cable was a tad close to the "ground" as the car dropped, but that's an implementation issue, not an issue with this cool tech.

That's awesome !I wonder what max charging is

Looked like 22Kw from what I could read

I like the two massive exposed spikes presumably energised with 230V. Not a hazard at all.

The spikes are for guiding only. Electrical connectors are in between them.

I was hoping something completely different. A solution for a problem to come. If the Model E comes and there will be a lot more EV on the street. Parking en charging should be automated. SO if a car is charged, another car can be. Without human intervention. This is just some rich guy showing off.
