I have them, and they make an excellent storage organizer. The one that you have in the post - I push it all the way forward. The one in the arm rest holds some of my change and odds and ends. I think they were a great purchase.

Ordered my directly from Tesla - can't remember the price. Also order the rear organizers with covers that makes the trunk completely flat.

Maybe they don’t have a phone that supports wireless charging? Or simply want to charge via wires (typically faster).

I think he must have it plugged into one of the usb ports at the front of the console. That tray can be slid forward and backward on the built in rails.

I don't have any problem with mine. In fact I use both at the same time while we travel. If you want a higher output you can use the usb-c ports that are above the rear passenger vents.

he has a point, for large phones, iphone 14/15 pro max in a case, the charging does not work
if you take the case off, it cannot keep up with the drain of running a streaming app such as sirius xm
my wife iphone 14 pro with a case and it charges fine on the wireless pad
for my iphone 14 pro max, i use the magbak display mount magsafe charger and I can stream, run waze and charge, case on, charging stays in front of the use
no issues
Also, if you use the rear passenger vent USBC where would put your phone? The ones up front allow the phone the be stored in the front compartment.

We both use the iPhone7's Haven't felt the need to anything newer. Granted, the wireless front chargers are not too speedy, but they get the job done - especially on a longer trip. I have used the rear usb-c and then laid the iphone upside down in one of the cup holders. We also use the rear usb-c ports to charge our Apple watches with their supplied 'magnetic pucks.'
Sure, I use the ports in the back of the console to charge a portable battery bank… and had the cable head bent due to things moving around.
That being said, why are people making a fuss of this? Who cares why they’re using the port, it’s their choice. There’s no need for any kind of justification.
You don’t want to use it, then don’t. If others want to, why does their decision matter?
They charge at 15 watts, so for a road trip where you are driving for hours, I could see it working better, but for in town trips, it's hard to add much charge to the batteries.
