Tesla, an Elon Musk-owned automaker, has introduced a novel product that is not a vehicle. This time, the company has released a wireless charger that can charge multiple devices simultaneously. It is known as the Wireless Charging Platform because it can charge various devices such as earbuds or smartphones simply by placing them anywhere on the surface.

The angular design and metallic styling of Cybertruck inspired the design of the Wireless Charging Platform, a one-of-a-kind charger for several products. According to the product description, the device can provide 15W of charging for up to three devices at once. "Its sleek design is comprised of an aluminum housing, premium Alcantara surface, and a detachable magnetic stand that allows you to lay the charger flat or at an angle for better viewing," the product description states. This device includes a USB-C charging cable with a wireless charger, a 65W USB-C adapter, and a detachable magnetic stand. In terms of pricing, the Tesla-manufactured multi-device charger costs $300, which is roughly $25,000 at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, Tesla has declared a significant achievement in Europe's largest EV market, Norway. In terms of annual sales, the Tesla Model Y has surpassed all other automobiles, with 3,738 Model Y vehicles sold in the EuEven though the fact that the year is not yet over, Tesla has sold enough Model Y vehicles to break the previous annual sales record set by the Volkswagen Beetle in 1969. Despite its strong performance in Norway, Elon Musk's automobile company achieves less impressive results elsewhere. With its CEO distracted by Twitter, the company's dominant position in international EV markets is more precarious than ever.

To keep customers buying the numerous automobiles that were already piling up in its stock, the American EV manufacturer was forced to implement significant discounts in several locations, including the United States and Canada. Tesla informed some employees that there may be a hiring freeze and layoffs in 2023, indicating that the problem extends beyond sales. This is concerning because Tesla's Giga Texas and Berlin plants are having difficulty ramping up production.
