At least a $300 charger is something you'd use consistently as opposed to a $500 flamethrower
Elon Musk’s Boring Company sells all of its flamethrowers in less than a week
The Boring Company’s new product officially sold out Thursday, Elon Musk said on Twitter. That means it has now sold $10 million worth of the devices.www.cnbc.com
Oh my gosh! Thanks for making me look? It does have a detachable cable! YAY! I think I was confusing it with something else. Whether they sell the cable separately or not, I do not know though. So maybe net affect is the same?
It's the excitement of realizing you have a detachable cable!
You can be in the Apple ecosystem and still own nothing that has Magsafe because only high-end iPhones use Magsafe.
Yes, sold out in 7,200 minutes 🤣

Billionaire Elon Musk’s The Boring Company has sold all 20,000 of its flamethrowers in just five days.
)So it’s going to look like a 5 year old designed it with a ruler and a crayon and if you try to show off how it works, it’ll backfire massively and make you look ridiculous.
You are assuming that $300 is a lot of money. For some people it is. For others, it is much less than an hours work.
Either way, it goes up in smoke.A limited edition version would have a limit of 420, not 50,000
Where do you think you are? This is the internet. If you would not use a flamethrower every day, you are internetting wrong.At least a $300 charger is something you'd use consistently as opposed to a $500 flamethrower

There's are several many thousands (hundreds of thousands, millions maybe?) of people who are actively invested in everything Musk does, people who're genuinely convinced we're going to mars and soon, will get the Hyperloop soon, will have full FSD soon, terraform the solar system within a couple decades, etc.

Why is this more expensive than a Tesla automobile Mobile Charger?
Mobile Connector
Stay charged on extended trips or when you need it most with Mobile Connector. Using a standard outlet, you can add up to 3 miles of range per hour with the NEMA 5-15 Adapter or up to 30 miles of range with the NEMA 14-50 Adapter, depending on your vehicle. When used with a vehicle equipped with...
Not sure what all the fuss is about....can't charge an Apple Watch....$300 😳 and a fire hazard.
Back in December, Tesla announced the launch of a $300 multi-device wireless charger able to charge three Qi devices at one time. There are notable parallels to Apple's now-canceled AirPower charging mat, so we thought we'd check it out to see what it's like.

Design wise, the charger is a flat, angular platform made from aluminum with an alcantara fabric top, which Tesla says was inspired by the Cybertruck. There's some subtle Tesla branding at the front, an LED light to let you know when charging is taking place, and an integrated USB-C cable.
The charger is heavy and well made, but the integrated cable is a negative because if it breaks, there's no way to replace it. Tesla includes a 65W wall adapter that's also modeled after the Cybertruck, plus a removable stand that can be used to transition the charger from a flat orientation to more of an angled orientation.
The Tesla Wireless Charging Platform is able to charge up to three devices at one time from any position on the charging base, which is how Apple wanted the AirPower to work. Three devices can receive up to 15W of power, though iPhones will be limited to 7.5W since this is Qi charging.
Unlike the AirPower, Tesla's Wireless Charging Platform does not work with the Apple Watch, but it is compatible with Qi-based iPhones and AirPod models. Given the size of the device, you're probably not going to be able to charge three large smartphones, but two smartphones and a set of AirPods works.
Tesla's charging mat is using FreePower, a technology from Aira that we have seen used in other Qi-based wireless chargers. The Base Station Pro from Nomad, for example, used FreePower and it was remarkably similar to the Tesla product. The Base Station Pro ran into trouble because it was not able to work properly with the iPhone 12 and later due to firmware issues, and it remains to be seen if the Tesla charger will have similar problems with future smartphones.
The Tesla Wireless Charging Platform works as advertised, and generally, you can place a device anywhere on the platform to get it to charge. Position does still matter somewhat, though, because you still need to make sure you have a good alignment with a coil to get the full charging speed.
At $300, and with only Qi-based charging, it's not worth buying the Tesla Wireless Charging Platform unless you're a Tesla superfan. At this point, a MagSafe charger is a much better use of your money if you're in the Apple ecosystem.
