Tesla's doing it again. Elon himself said it while unveiling the AWD options for the Model S and Autopilot. He thought it up right there on stage. An automatic arm with the charger attached to it that automatically extends 'like a solid metal snake' and plugs the charger into the car. It'll work with all current and future Model S cars.

We need more people like him, and more companies like Tesla.

Btw, we are actually working on a charger that automatically moves out from the wall & connects like a solid metal snake. For realz.

Hassle of electric car ownership is having to plug in whenever you get home. Wouldn't it be nice if the charger could do that for you?

 

Interesting,,, What do you think? Post your comments down beloooooooooooooow

I can see many times where this could become a really big issue. Still an intresting concept though, but I gotta see it work in a lab before I get my hypetrain rolling.
