Back in the eighties, like many of us, I looked into converting a car (RX-2) to electric. Let's grant that the proposal was untenable at the time. But as part of the effort I came up with the Power Docking Port concept. I've developed it out significantly since the introduction of the Roadster and then Model S. The discussion seems apropos to recent news. Here are a few points I typed up some time ago (slightly modified).
There is vastly more, of course, but I'd like input in two areas.
1. Would those of you who actually own and drive Model S be interested in such an option? If it cost 3-5K?
2. Who would I talk with at Tesla about the concept?
Thanks for your help - hopefully this will somehow help you!

- Recharging ought to be integral with parking – automatic and requiring no user input.
- It ought to work the same, albeit at different charge rates, whether at home, a supercharger, or Starbucks.
- It should work with any power source (or charger); AC single or three phase, or high powered DC.
- The same standard should work in Shanghai, Seattle, or Saskatoon.
- It should work with a Tesla, a BMW, or a Nissan.
