What phone are you trying? You are looking for the USB ports on the center console on the back side right?
They made an announcement either late last night or today that a few cars, Model 3's in particular, they are short on type c port chips and that affects wireless charging as well. Once they have them in stock they intend to retrofit any that are missing them as a free service. It sucks and they should have given advanced notice, but oh well. You'll probably have them retrofitted in within 1-2 months.
iphone 12pro max, the ports in the back are working, the ones in the front are simply not installed
Case on the phone? My 13PM wouldn't charge on the pad even with a super thin case. Was fine caseless.

As a former model 3 owner (sold 3 days ago), with a new one on order - I can say this will be a complete fuster cluck. selling cars - knowing they all will be back to the service center at some point. Anyone who has dealt with the service center will understand.
They delivered to my home, and I had to accept delivery in order to inspect the interior, so....
To help us track this apparently new issue of missing USB ports, I created this form. Please fill it out if you’d like.
Tesla has been doing this for years. The only one of my Teslas that was actually complete during delivery was my ‘17 MX. My most recent was a ‘21 MY in February. It was missing the rear cargo floors due to lack of supply and a rear headrest had a blatant manufacturing flaw. It took 6 mos to get it fixed.
This helps Fremont get vehicles away from their doors while overburdening Service Centers and pissing off customers. A terrible customer service model but Wall Street doesn’t care.

Doing it well
The only way to stop this is for people stop buying Teslas. As we see that’s not happening.
If it were me, and it will be soon, I would prefer them to deliver my car now without it and just install it later…versus them sitting on my car for 2 months waiting for the part. At least you get to enjoy the car in the meantime instead of waiting and complaining how long it takes to get a delivery.
