The way the charger calibrated itself to Tesla's charging port was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time
Right, it looked kind of...rapey :D
Simone Giertz partners with Viam, a modern robotics platform founded by the co-founder and CTO of MongoDB, Eliot Horowitz, to build an autonomous charging robot for her custom Tesla truck.

Gonna be honest she rinsed you guys. Made a 10-min vlog that basically said nothing about your product and you guys had to do the whole thing.
Quick honest question: What benefit did Viam bring that isn't brought by ROS for this project?

The original Tesla video was dragged for being too sexual, so it's almost a relief to see that any implementation is going to be unnecessarily sexualized. It's just a lame joke that we're all going to have to "get past" as part of our cultural development.
