2023 Console USB Function?

[dafish]

My sales advisor, who I don't think knows much, reports that for 2023 USB's in the console are only for charging. The Y owners's manual reports they can be used for SSD and thumb drives for sentry storage, music, etc.

What say you?

The manual you’re looking at is old. The ones I saw have an addendum that says the console ports are charging only.

Only the one in the glove does data.

The online manual specifically addresses this. The short answer is, the only USB port in a 2023 model Y that will carry data is the one in the glove compartment. Here is the link to the manual I referenced (since it appears whatever one you looked in was old):

Here is a screenshot of the specific quote that addresses the question:

It says "some vehicles" but I have not heard of any 2022 or 2023 model Ys coming from the factory with USB enabled in the center console, including my wifes 2022 model Y Performance that we bought in march of 2022.

My new ModY LR, manufactured in Fremont in January, supports data only in the glove box.

New Tesla owner here, checking in with a 2023 MY Long Range. Can confirm that the only USB Data port is the one in the glove box. I'm considering a few of the USB hub options I've seen recommended here, but won't have any of those in hand to install before our first road trip in the car tomorrow.

very dissapointed that I have 4 usb-c plugs that only work for charging and not data. What are the "hub options"?
