The New Tesla Wireless Charger is AMAZING

Tesla made Apple's Air Power before Apple could make Apples Air Power! All thanks to a 3rd party company named Free Power of course. Today we get to take apart Tesla's Wireless charging platform. A pretty fancy little device that cost 300 dollars. BUT... with good reason. There are 30 coils of copper inside this thing and it looks AMAZING!

A transparent version with all the coils visible would be awesome, something about them is mesmerizing

disassembling this is very nice, but scratching new devices gives me both physical and hearing pain

The wire is enameled which means it has a very thin, transparent coating so there is no risk of wires touching each other. So the glue is probably just there to make sure everything stays in place and maybe add some separation for heat dissipation

I love the "I'll drop a couple hundred on a charger but will never pay $7 for Twitter" 😂

"Now that Apple has seen how it's done, we'll see Air Power back on the shelves in a year or two." 😂😂😂

Apple’s main problem was trying to accommodate the industry standard QI charging AND the proprietary Apple Watch size. So that’s two layers of a dozen interlaced copper coils each.

It’s no wonder it didn’t work.

Always nice to see Zach get genuinely excited about a new piece of hardware

The coils are made of magnet wire. Magnet wire has a thin varnish insulator on it. The glue on them is most likely just to keep them from flopping around in the case. No isolation of the coils should be needed.

Always yes for a transparent version of electronics!!

Hey, I have a pad from Zens since a couple of years. Has a pretty similar layout for the coils and has a glass top variant. Charges two devices and a USB attachment to charge the apple watch. If you want to check out the glass top, it’s the Zens Liberty Charger Glass Edition.

The coils are actually hypnotic if you stare at it long enough

'Thanks for watching Tim Cook ' best line😂

"still aint paying 7 dollars for twitter though"

[puneetsuperstar]

Transparent version would be something different, next level 😮

[badam]

"Still not paying $7 bucks for Twitter" 🤣

[kasper_]

I'm sure someone with a 3D printer could come up with a transparent top for this thing. That would be a sick addition.

You could put a USB test meter in the lead to the charger to see how much it's drawing. Good test meters show amps, volts & watts.

0:30 someone at the factory got a little to happy

[manp]

i am wondering if potting them in non conducting epoxy would help to show off the copper coils while also providing a thermal heat synch.

Freepower already sold a similar device through NOMAD but it was called Base Station Pro over there. The old one could only charge two devices at a time and there was a long history of firmware updates as they were getting the bugs out. I previously had the NOMAD one but it occasionally would not charge my phone. (Which was a bit upsetting to wake up with an uncharged phone.) I now either charge wired or with an Apple certified Magsafe pad to be sure I always have my phone ready when I wake up.
