2020 Model S USB?

[hamoneaster]

I bought my Model S this year...It has two USB slots but one has something plugged in. I have no idea what it is? Afraid to take it out and break something! Please see the pic. Anyone know what it goes to??

About 5 inches away is the end of that cord. It’s where you plug your phone in to charge

Said another way, that plug is the cord that provides power to your phone charging connection in that same cubby.

The rubber pad lifts up easily. 2020 will either have a wireless charger if built around April or later or a lightning or micro usb plug. What is on the inside of the cover that is open in the picture?

Oh. My. Word. I am SO dumb. I ordered one of those wireless chargers for the Tesla off amazon. When I was trying to install it is when I realized this USB that was plugged in that I posted the picture above. The LID of that compartment is a WIRELESS charger! You open it, and slide your phone between the two holders on the underside of that lid and it will charge! My Model S was built after April 2020.

Cheap xxxxers, same as in 2012, they could have hardwired it recessed.
