Tesla Installs Pool That Drivers Can Recharge In While Their Cars Power Up
By Nicole Rodrigues, 03 Aug 2022
Tesla, a company that often unleashes the unexpected, is now accommodating summertime hobbies, as well. At one of the biggest Superchargers in Germany, a YouTube channel called Tesla Welt Podcast has spotted a rather unique addition to the station: a swimming pool.
That’s right, Tesla owners, you can now take a splash as your car powers up.
Located at the Hilden Supercharger, the ‘SuperPool’ is an aboveground container that has the Tesla logo on its side. The video on the channel takes a tour around the tank and finds that it has a built-in cover to protect it from rain and two little Tesla-branded pool balls for drivers to play around with.
It would also seem like the pool is not completely fixed into position and could probably be moved around if needed. It is also presumed that company-owned solar panels are keeping it powered up.
And just like any pool, there are rules people need to abide by. Only four people are allowed to swim in it at one time, and it can only be used for 10 minutes, giving just enough time for your car to charge.
All you need to do before entering the swimming area is show proof that you own the car and that you are charging it.
The SuperPool is an ongoing dive into entertainment facilities that the company is looking to put up at their charging stations. The electric vehicle maker is currently looking into creating a restaurant or open-air cinema for drivers to spend time at.
While a swimming pool does feel a bit out of the water, given the current climate, it could be just the refresher Tesla owners are looking for.
