Would this be useful for Tesla?

Absolutely. And Apple, and Dell, and anyone else that uses rechargeable batteries that degrade over time. This solves the degradation aspect of batteries, so it would improve the longevity of devices.

But I've read so much about Tesla being really intelligent with charging. Wouldn't they have already thought of this?

(Or at least be doing enough intelligent things already that they wouldn't get much additional improvement?)

Definitelly. Since their magic box consumes 45Whr

>nine hours for 100 percent charge on a 1A power supply over USB

to charge fully into 50Whr battery. Its Perpetuum mobile. Musk would love one of those.
