I was wondering if Tesla would introduce conductive charging at some point; install a base in your garage, park on top of it, car's charged by morning. Perhaps not feasible with the amount of energy they need to transfer?

Even if technically feasible, it'd be a waste - the most efficient inductive charging systems still lose more than 10% of the energy.
