- Tesla-styled vacuum cleaner arrives in Germany
- The company is aiming to make the charging experience feel premium
- Air pumps and free Wi-Fi are expanding across the network
A Tesla owner has spotted what is believed to be the first branded vacuum cleaner at one of the company’s Supercharger stalls in Germany.
The site, which is located in Pforzheim, Germany, also features a small indoor lounge and now, the ability to clean out grubby interiors while owners wait the 15 to 20 minutes for batteries to brim.
Much like the rollout of many Tesla features over the years, the vacuum cleaner’s appearance seems relatively random, with no other sites reporting the technology cropping up just yet.

According to Not a Tesla App, the vacuum cleaner is free to use for Tesla owners, although a closer look at the imagery posted on X appears to show an RFID card reader at the front of the boxy, white unit, which could just be a payment for rival EV owners using the Supercharger network after it opened up to the wider electric vehicle audience.
We reached out to Tesla’s UK press department to ask whether this amenity is slated to be rolled out to other sites in the future, how much it costs for non-Tesla owners, and what other Supercharger accessories Tesla might be working on next. However, we have not yet received a response.
Analysis: more amenities in the pipeline?
Since Tesla fired around 500 employees from its Supercharger division in 2024, network deployment has slowed down.
In 2024 alone, reports suggest there was roughly a 19% reduction year-on-year, causing stress among owners that there wouldn’t be enough facilities to go around.
