#2Someone could do this for regular laptop hookups eventually. e.g. Every morning at the office, I connect a power cable, monitor cables and a mouse.

> power cable, monitor cables and a mouse
Won't be too long before you can do all three of those with one USB-C cable.

#4This was originally mentioned by Elon back in October at the launch of the Dual Motor Model S and Autopilot event. It was in reference to the cars new ability to park itself.
“Something I’d like to do, which I think many of our engineers will be hearing this in real-time, is have the charge connector plug itself in. Like an articulating, like sort of a snake, like Metal Gear Solid or something.”

Besides the power cable, I would think the rest would function well wirelessly with high frequency RF.

They have been around for 20+ years.
It's called a laptop Base station / Docking station. There on a fairly wide range of buissness laptops sadly that's one of the ports that Apple does not seem to support.

#9Is there any existing tech that even approaches this? Tesla cars are an evolution and improvement upon tech that previously existed. Ditto Space X. But I'm not aware of anything that even approaches Doc Ock-like articulating cables/hoses that are able to overcome the force of gravity.
