I bought the Jowua 6D MagSafe Car Mount - which seems like A Good Thing. Very flexible in terms of phone orientation and location. MagSafe holds strongly. And it charges.
6D Tesla Compatible Invisible Foldaway Car Mount (MagSafe) for Tesla S/3/X/Y/Cybertruck
The charging capability is implemented with a long cable that plugs into the back of the MagSafe Connector, and is supposed to get power from one of the two USB-C outlets under the rear screen (on the back end of the centre console).
The idea is that you press the cable up under the edge of the centre console (to hide it), where the 'plastic' meets the 'carpet':

Maybe I'm going it wrong, but I cannot (even with a pry tool) manage to open up a gap to slip the cable into. Maybe the method of construction on Highland has changed.
Two questions:
- Has anyone else managed to get this done: tucking the cable under the edge of the centre console?
- Seems to me that a BETTER method might be to pass the cable into the FRONT end of the centre console (probably need to drill a hole) and to garner power from a USB-C adaptor plugged into the cigarette-lighter-type socket located at the very front of the centre console. I think I'd have to remove the trim from the top of the footwell (under the glove box) to gain access. Anyone tried that?
Any other observations/suggestions welcomed.
