Tesla is a company that attracts a lot of attention and when they present something, it is usually the topic of conversation on social networks for days. We do not echo many of the launches of Elon Musk’s company (unless he hints again that he wants to launch a mobile), but we definitely have to talk about the new Tesla Wireless Charging Platform.
And it is that, it is a charger for mobile phones, compatible watches and true wireless headphones that has a design inspired by the Cybertruck (or so Tesla claims) and the ability to power three devices at once. Your secret? Lots of charging coils at a crazy price.
Tesla has achieved what Apple has not (albeit at a crazy price)
If you’ve been following technology with us for a few years, you’ll surely remember Apple’s AirPower charger. Introduced in 2017, it promised the ability to wirelessly charge three devices simultaneously.
After internal tests, rumors, bickering, it seems that the AirPower ended up being cancelled. The main problem seems to be the temperature reached by the different charging coils. However, shortly after Samsung launched its Wireless Charging Trio and even Xiaomi dared with triple wireless chargers, with a design inspired by AirPower.
Now it is Tesla who launches a triple charger that Allows you to place your TWS mobile, watch or headphones anywhere on the surfaceand with the angle that we left, and it will be loaded with a power of 15W.
This is possible thanks to your 30 charging coils spread over the entire surface of the charger, so we don’t have to eat our heads to align the back of the mobile with a specific point on the surface. We simply set it down… and load.
To dissipate heat, Tesla’s wireless charger It has an aluminum body and, in order not to scratch the devices, the upper part has the alcantara texture that we have seen, for example, in the keyboards of the Microsoft Surface -as in the Surface Pro 9, for example-. You can tilt the charger slightly (very useful on a nightstand or in an office) thanks to a magnetic mount.
Now, and as they say, how much does the joke come out for? The price of Tesla’s wireless charger is $300. It is a very high price considering that the Samsung Trio is about 70 euros and that there are other options on the market for less than 100 euros. But hey, none have a design inspired by the Tesla SUV…
