Inductive charging will waste a bunch of energy.
Inductive charging has come a long way and doesn't have to have as big a power loss anymore.
E.g this government research project had 120kw at 97% which is on par or better with existing fast charging methods.

Edit: Also anyone charging on a regular 120v outlet, which is really all most people need for at home charging, is in the low 80's. Also Wiferon has ones commercially available at 93%.
I'm curious why you are downvoted?
When searching "wireless charging efficiency" on Google, Google offer this short explanation:
Not too far off from the statement above that 93% is already available, and apparently progress is being made.

You appear to be wearing the wrong glasses. Try these ones one
OP: Tesla BAD! How dare Tesla!
Me: Tesla doing this doesn't mean it's going to be bad!
Hope that helps.
