What is Tesla's stance on wireless charging?

I just watched this YT video on the viability of wireless charging for EV's, which seems like a no-brainer to me and the inevitable future, and am wondering if this is on Tesla's radar at all.

Tesla has a vested interest in reducing/eliminating range anxiety, and also in an autonomous fleet that doesn't need to be plugged in by a human, so you'd think they'd be all over wireless charging. They're willing to invest in creating a plugin charging network. Why not a wireless charging network?

It would be sweet if they built the capacity for wireless charging into the CT. Or perhaps it could be added after the fact.

Elon believes it's a bit of an energy waste. But now that they're changing the battery pack to be less bulky, and fleet sales are coming up on their radar, maybe we'll see a resurgence in soft charging tech.

They're likely to go the robot way.
