0:00 Tesla Wireless Charging Platform
2:37 Sponsor (Brilliant)
3:43 FreePower Wireless Charging Technology

The new Tesla Wireless Charging Platform is inspired by Cybertruck’s angular design and metallic styling, providing 15W of fast charging power per device for up to 3 devices simultaneously. It features an aluminum housing, and the charging surface is composed of soft alcantara. It comes with an integrated USB-C cable, a 65W USB-C power adapter, and a detachable magnetic stand that allows you to use the charging pad at an angle for better viewing. It’s engineered with next-generation FreePower wireless charging technology, which charges any Qi-capable device but the main difference is the device can be placed anywhere on the surface without precise alignment. Standard chargers with Qi wireless charging rely on magnetic resonance to transfer energy, which means that the charging pad and device's receiver coil need to be close to each other, usually within a few millimeters, for the transfer of energy to occur. However, FreePower allows freedom of placement. Place your devices anywhere on the charging pad without worrying about it not charging, and charge multiple devices simultaneously with precise power delivery up to 15W per device. The surface activates combinations of 1, 2, or 3 coils based on the location of a device’s receiver, delivering high-efficiency, high-quality charging experiences. FreePower is on a mission to bring this type of wireless charging capability not just to wireless charging pads but to nearly all surfaces that one might encounter in a typical day such as desks, counters, tables, and of course in vehicles. My 2018 Tesla Model 3 does not have any wireless charging, but beginning in 2020 all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles come equipped with wireless charging on the center console for up to two smartphones. Although there's no confirmation of this happening, it is my own educated guess that the next logical step is for Tesla to include the same FreePower wireless charging technology that is in this new Wireless Charging Pad in their vehicles going forward. Having said that, it is more difficult to change and implement new technology like this in vehicles due to the more complex production process, but a bold prediction of mine is that Tesla will add this to their vehicle interiors beginning with the Cybertruck. This type of tech is great for cars because if a phone slides around on the pad it won’t stop the charging or if you’re trying to keep your eyes on the road and decide to quickly place your phone on the charger you don’t have to worry about placing it in a specific spot, thus increasing safety if only slightly, which is enough justification for Tesla because they’ve always said safety is their number one priority. Hopefully someday we’ll see wireless charging for electric vehicles, but no matter if or when that happens, the cool thing is we have amazing technologies like FreePower pushing the boundaries of what wireless charging can be today for all the other devices in our lives.

I thought it was about a wireless car charger. That might be worth buying.

[j.r.f]

I can’t believe you’re hyping this thing up like it’s something revolutionary. There is literally nothing novel about this besides the aesthetics.

[justjustincase]

For everyone wondering how this is remotely impressive, keep in mind, creating a charging pad that can give charge wherever you place it and charge at a decent rate isn’t easy. In fact it’s so difficult, Apple’s finest attempted to make one, even announced it as an official product, but cancelled it due to engineering issues, mainly with it overheating in order to give it an adequate charge rate. Yes all in one pads exist, but they’re almost always inconveniently big, clunky, and have abysmal charging rates.

[scghost]

When I clicked on this, I thought it was wireless charging for the car itself 😅.

[BananaChipzzz]

The irony of this is, their charging plates in the cars are the absolute worst…

[TheDrakulie]

what about wireless charging for the car itself ?

[mhill]

1:37 Not even MagSafe stands? Not the flat puck on a cord, but like 3 in 1 stands with MagSafe. I never looked back after getting a few

[jadenisiah]

300 damn dollars!! I jumped back in my seat, but I shouldn't be surprised because its Tesla Merch LMFAO. Not even Apple would dare!

[DaleSteadman]

Unfortunately my 2022 Model 3 has wireless but won't charge my iPhone 12 Pro Max with the MagaSafe case on 🙁 So I curious if this new Tesla wireless pad charger solves that issue?

[anonymoustv]

For $300 its a no go for me. I would love it if we could get this retro-fitted in the M3

[LauLex]

Come on man, a qi wireless charger for 300 bucks? Sure it has more coils, which by the way also means that this ridiculous gadget bleeds power like a firehose, a typical American energy wasting 'solution'. Ridiculous e waste.

[derickdevindavis]

I have to agree with others. This is unimpressive. I just don't get this for the average consumer. It's expensive, bulky and lacks portability. I'd have to buy too many to feel the needed benefit. It reminds me a cellphone "bag" from before. I can see the funny cartoon now: user unpacks this from their carryon bag to charge their ipad, ear buds, and phone on the plane. Flight attendant says, you'll need to stow that; Meanwhile, other passengers are simply using their portable power bricks. Hard pass!

[TheStopwatchGod]

If only you could remove the cable from the charger so that if it breaks you can swap it with another one

[TylerHilliard]

The current 3/Y wireless chargers don't fit "pro" size phones with an OtterBox on them - one of the very few (very small) gripes I have with the vehicle

[MrTekniqs]

I thought this was about wireless car charging. Disappointing.

[macjonte]

Can’t talk about this without bringing up apples take on this 5-6 years ago. It was launched, it was demonstrated, it had a selling date, it was silently killed a year after the selling date.

Did you try this device yourself?

[whenspringbegins]

I read somewhere that it only supports up to 7.5w for iPhones and 15w for androids. Maybe the charging speed would increase with future software updates.
2nd, the cable isn't replaceable and it's not even braided, so if anything happens to the cable then you'll probably have to replace the whole thing. 
3rd, the detachable magnetic stand seems to be a waste of material. The stand could've been integrated into the charging pad itself. Some computer keyboards have those tiny legs on the bottom that could be deployed to raise the angle of the keyboard. But I guess that wouldn't seem as premium.
4th, if it can also charge the Apple Watch then it would be more appealing. But I guess it would be up to apple to make their watches qi compatible.

[abigailcross]

I called the wireless charging for the cars over a year ago 🥳
Thank you for the discount with Brilliant. I’ve been looking at them for a while but was unsure, so now I can try it and see if it’s worth it for me.

[Resist]

The Model 3 also had alcantara too. This is an interesting product but boy is it expensive at $300.
