- Tesla-style vacuum cleaner comes to Germany
- The company aims to make the charging experience premium
- Air pumps and free Wi-Fi are growing across the network
A Tesla owner spotted what is believed to be the first branded vacuum cleaner at one of the company’s Supercharger stands in Germany.
The site, located in Pforzheim, Germany, also has a small indoor lounge and, now, the ability to clean dirty interiors while owners wait 15 to 20 minutes for the batteries to be full.
Much like the rollout of many of Tesla’s features over the years, the appearance of the vacuum seems relatively random, with no other sites reporting the technology’s appearance yet.

According to Not a Tesla App, the vacuum is free for Tesla owners, although a closer look at images posted to
We contacted Tesla’s UK press office to ask if this feature should be rolled out to other locations in the future, how much it would cost non-Tesla owners, and what other Supercharger accessories Tesla might be working on next. However, we have not yet received a response.
Analysis: more equipment in preparation?
Since Tesla laid off around 500 employees from its Supercharger division in 2024, network deployment has slowed.
In 2024 alone, reports suggest there has been a reduction of around 19% year-on-year, causing stress among homeowners as there would not be enough facilities to go around.
But more recent statistics suggest that number is on the rise again, with the total number of Supercharger connectors reaching 73,817 by the end of 2025, an 18% year-on-year increase – this includes the addition of new V4 charging stations which promise much higher charging speeds.
With an increase in the overall number of charging sessions, Tesla has begun sporadically adding additional equipment at certain locations, such as air compressors in Goulburn, Australia, which help keep tires at a healthy pressure level.
But in true Tesla fashion, there’s no clear roadmap on which amenities will appear where, so it’s just a case of showing up and hoping your local Supercharger is next in line for a shine.
