It does. And very tight alignment requirements.

But for a premium carmaker the simple solution of “plug in” isn’t good enough when they have to justify the price tag.

Working at this scale and price tag, it seems like it would be easier to install a small robot arm in the floor to do it. Or a setup like a 3-axis milling machine, just to align with a port on the bottom and plug it in.

I guess that doesn't have the sexy Nikola Tesla factor.

Right! a robot arm with some sort of magnetic alignment like we have on MagSafe would go pretty far.
