2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

[stopcrazypp]

Or when they ran out of USB cables and sent employees to buy all of the cables available at the local Fry's Electronics.

That claim was found to be unverifiable, and more digging found he made a narrower claim on 2013, so this likely was talking about the early days of Model S production, when Tesla was very much operating in startup mode (same deal with the industrial grade screens instead of automotive grade).

We probed Elon Musk's claim he bought every USB cable in the Bay Area

^ And not to mention that Fry's had been out of business for over a year, and even two years ago, their stores were literally baren of stock.

Seems legit. And I would not be surprised in the slightest if my January 2013 build Model S has USB cables from Fry's.

Has anyone heard from Tesla service if there’s going to be an over the air update for Bluetooth data connection? Like controller support via Bluetooth etc

No.

I doubt this is true, but I'm going to try it...

I'm almost certain they interpreted this to mean you are one of the people that had completely missing center console USB-C ports and completely missed the obvious reference to data.

You're probably right, but I'm still gonna try.

....or...do you remove the charging port in hopes they put a data port in during the service apt?

My neighbor's MY Long range has the same issue. He's Tesla was delivered on Jan 28 2022 and the center console USB ports don't support any data transmission function, the only port supports data transmission function is the port at glove box.

He recovered the data transmission function by applying a kinda data transmission module in his center console, basically he replaced the OEM one with a product made by a tesla accessories manufacturer TPARTS.

Here's the link for anyone want to recover the data functions.

Console Data Transmission Module

Compatible Models: 2022 Tesla Model 3, Model Y TPARTS Data Transmission Module is the best solution for 2022 Model 3/Y to recover the data transmission function at console USB ports. As many of 2022 Tesla Owners know, Tesla canceled the data transmission function on the console USB ports due to...

Hope this help!

Just ordered it as well. I'm getting it shipped to Canada so it was $15 for shipping (FYI for others).
Used discount code TCD15 for an extra 15% off so total cost including shipping was $74.50...cheap!

Thank you for this link. Much cheaper than the Abstract Ocean or Alibaba options.

I'm still holding out hope that Tesla will discover a solution. When the Frunk hooks on the Model 3 were removed, I raced out and foolishly purchased ebay hooks for $80. They were plentiful and cheap a few months later - learned my lesson.

The fact that the controller games have been withheld leads me to believe that something is in the works.

I guess it depends on how long the supply chain issues will drag out. From Elon's talk and the delaying of the Cybertruck, it looks like Tesla is not optimistic about this year.

However, given there seems to be plenty of demand for it, the third party vendors seems to be picking up the ball in terms of offering alternative options, so I presume the prices of those may go down after a few months (or at least local warehouses may carry them, so you may save on shipping).

Couldn't a USB hub be placed in the glovebox and then cables run (somehow?) out and into the console area for data use, such as a music thumb drive? Don't know if sentry memory and USB data can be used simultaneously. Possible? Asking for a friend.

Yep, you were right. I ended up texting the SA after my appointment request was approved, just to make sure that they understood what I was asking for. A very understanding SA called me back and confirmed that there is no current information about a retrofit for this removed feature. He has been surprised at the outrage of new owners not getting Sonic and Cuphead in their cars (in his day, cars were just for getting you from point A to point B). He did mention that they are getting A LOT of negative feedback on this issue and that the folks at Tesla do browse the forums and the Tesla community's commentary about their cars, so maybe someone will stumble upon these threads and we'll get some sort of solution. Maybe.

In the meantime, I think I am going to order the data transmission module from Tparts. It won't get me the missing games, but at least I'll have the functionality in a convenient location.

I've tried several times and cannot place an order with Tparts today. Either my CC is declined (for no valid reason), I've tried to change my payment method too many times (due to the previous error), my postal code doesn't match, my name isn't spelled correctly (how do they even know?), or just 'error'. Tried clearing cookies and history, tried as a guest instead of logging in...anyone else having this issue?

I paid via PayPal and didn’t have any errors at the time. Did you try with PayPal?
I see the Intel version is on backorder now…
