The Terminator movies is not what came to my mind but then again it was very phallic to watch.

Cool but far too creepy looking, even its movement is creepy.

For those too lazy to take 2 seconds and plug a power cord in. :biggrin:

Or can afford that kind of thing, and just want to impress their friends I suppose.

I see no other real reason for it car wise, I might have other applications of course, like in air refueling on an aircraft I guess.

The point is self-charging. Their Autopilot feature can drive the car to your front door based on your schedule, so if you leave the house every day at 6am, the car will be waiting for you fully charged, air-conditioned (or heated in the winter), with your favorite music playing, ready to drive you to work. The self-charging system lets it drop you off at home, open the garage door itself, drive & park, have the arm swing out to charge itself up, and shut the garage door. It's basically like a taxi service (well, once they get it the self-charging system on the market).

There's a Bosch system available for the Leaf that actually does wireless charging (slower to charge, but all you have to do is drive over a frisbee-shaped puck on your garage floor). The catch is that the Leaf only goes 80 miles & the Tesla goes 300, so they haven't figured out a way of doing wireless charging yet, at least not without giving you cancer in the process, or melting your legs off as you walk by due to the power transfer. This would be cool too for future parking lots...the overhang has a solar panel array & it can trick-charge your car wirelessly in the spot. Edit: there's a new model, looks like it supports the Prius & stuff now too:

I'd guess its more for fleet vehicles. Like some company that has 500 cars that need to be charged every night.

Somehow I think it would be cheaper to hire someone to just plug them in than buying 500 CNC type of chargers to do it.

You would still have to pay someone just to maintain them.

It is an overly complex, Rube Goldberg type of device for what it does.

Every time I see this thread title, I think of The Hangover. Paging Doctor...

callout thread, ban

This will be marked at the point in history when SKYNET won...the ban hammer fell, the neffers lost, and Rubycon will have to build us a T1000 out of FS/FT parts to send back using an ATOT timewarp because her cruise ship will be the only thing out of the EMP blast radius :biggrin:

 

[RossMAN]

Do want.

Since it's also the name of a fictional character, I don't know if that would necessarily apply.

Don't drop your keys in front of the charging port...

It can self-park from your driveway, open the garage, and plug in automatically.

Still seems a bit much, but whatever.

 

[ImpulsE69]

They need to cover that in a tentacle skin and ship them to Japan....for science.

Yeah, the engineer who designed it watched a lot of hentai. I bet the first version had more tentacles.

 

[SlitheryDee]

They have begun to interface with each other autonomously. Extinction is nigh!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I actually would not mind that for the block heater in winter. I hate screwing around with a frozen extension cord when it's -40.

 

[Rubycon]

Don't have a need for an automobile but that charger movement is kinky. Definitely could find another use for it, definitely xxx. :biggrin:

With a name like Tesla, perhaps wireless charging would be more appropriate. Say drive under one of these:

[Red Squirrel]

It does look kind of erotic now that you mention it.

 

[lamedude]

One step closer to this.
