That and flying cars too. Magnetic chargers are far less efficient and highly placement sensitive. They just don't make any sense. A mere gimmick.

Tesla superchargers bypass the onboard AC/DC convertor already.

Any DC charger will bypass the AC/DC converter

wireless charging is too inefficient. It might work for your garage, but it would be a huge suck at a grocery store unless power was really cheap.
