Here’s a strange on for ya. So for a Bluetooth game controller, Tesla recommends a Sony PlayStation 5 controller. Great. Fine. Gots me one of them says I.
And, indeed it works great. So great that I even threw in a Type-C cable for when I have to recharge the controller (being the clever plan-ahead kind of guy I am).
So when the controller finally died (in the middle of Skyforce Reloaded thank you very much), I reached for my Type-C on both ends cable and plugged it in to one of the Type-C ports on my Model 3 RWD…and..no charge.
So I did all the normal incantations. I swapped cables. Tried different Type-C ports. Nothing. Finally I tried a Type A to C cable where the USB drive mounts. That works. Tried a cigarette lighter adapter. That works.
Just the dang, elegant, otherwise of little use Type-C sockets on the car. Those. They don’t work – except for my iPhone. For that they work fine.
Any thoughts out there?
