I just watched this YT video on the viability of wireless charging for EV's, which seems like a no-brainer to me and the inevitable future, and am wondering if this is on Tesla's radar at all. Tesla has a vested interest in reducing/eliminating range anxiety, and also in an autonomous fleet...

For anyone interested, do a google search of "perovskite solar cells". 40% efficiency seems like it may not be too far away. More efficient, inexpensive, flexible, works in low light...
