Why haven't we adopted and improved upon Nikola Tesla's designs for wireless charging and power?

We have. Some applications of wireless power transfer are based on Tesla's ideas. For example induction cooking and wireless charging of various cordless and mobile devices (from electric toothbrushes to smartphones).

However, Tesla's plans to build a global system for wireless power distribution never came to fruition and the general consensus is that it's simply not feasible and that Tesla greatly overestimated the conductivity of the Earth's atmosphere and underestimated the energy loss with distance.
