While it's neat, it's not that fast (same speed as a 60A Level 2 charger). The advancement we really need is hot swappable (and affordable) spares.

11 kW is just fine - it means the car will be fully charged every morning after an evening in the garage, and wireless means you'll never forget to plug it in.
I don't disagree. My EV charger is even slower (only 30A), and it's more than enough. It also only cost $250 and uses a standard 220V plug in my garage. I suspect the Porsche solution is much, much more expensive.
Taking five seconds to plug in isn't a big deal to me. However, my wife (with her own separate EV) does often forget, and it's a bit maddening at times. Of course, we have a long enough cord that we can park in different places and always charge, so a wireless charger wouldn't fix the problem if we had to switch around to use it.
