Oh, here's the USB C cable I wound up using, which is long enough to fit our phones with cases. https://smile.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-Right-Charging/dp/B088WDCRSC/

It took a long time for me. I think like 7 weeks? Shipping overseas has been really messed up due to COVID-19, and I think it's even worse now. The tracking number I got on the package also made it look like it was hanging out in Germany the whole time, when really it was on a boat somewhere.

That cable I used is too short to fit a phone with a case on it. I don't use a case, but my wife does, so I'll order another contender and report back!

I put in the front unit, and now I have "quick" USB C charging on the driver's side. Our phones aren't able to wireless charge, but when we get phones that are, I should be able to set the wireless charging pad up pretty easily now. It took me and my father about 3 hours, including the 1 hour...

Just did the back. It took me more like 7 minutes, because I had to run back inside to get a plastic bag to stuff around the joint between the old connector and the adapter. I hate rattling noises. The retrofit was about the same difficulty as replacing the hubcap on my kid's Nissan Leaf. Very...

Happy to report the service center just called back and said I could in fact get those parts. They cautioned me that they weren't going to fit, and that I would be voiding any warranty on those parts and around that area of the car. So if you hear this, ask them to call the parts department and...

Just got a call from the service center. Went like this: :car: We noticed your parts aren't correct for your car, so we ordered the correct parts. :confused: But I need the Model Y parts for this retrofit. :car: Aha, well, we can't sell parts that don't work with your VIN because you might...
