what is the best wired/wireless controller for model 3

what would be the current best choice of wired/wireless controller for the model 3? I have a 2021 model 3, with it I tried the PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch (worked for only one game). I also tried Xbox Wireless Controller x/s + Mayflash (could not connect wirelessly, but...

Just bought one from Argos.
Xbox one wired £24.95
You will need a USB C to A adapter

PowerA Wired Controller is what I purchased last week, cost me around £20ish from Smiths, then purchased a Nonda usb-C to USB-A adapter which works a treat and is small, that was around another £6 so not too bad and works great on the games I've tested (Sonic, Cuphead, Beach Driving)

Anyone know any USB-C controllers that work vs having to use an adapter??

I tried a bunch of different configurations and eventually settled on a Sony DualSense PS5 controller + 8bitdo USB adapter combination which works with all Tesla Arcade games.

I guess this becomes a moot point if they start putting power only usb-c into those delivered without them? What do we do then to use a game controller?

Use the one in the glove box?

Ah. Hadn’t realised that one was controller compatible.

Most elegant solution is likely a usb hub in the glovebox with a wireless controller usb adaptor, along with usb sticks for sentry and music - or even a custom lightshow. Apart from that, data on the usb c ports isn't really all that important.

Glovebox isn't really big enough for gloves, hats and scarves anyway.

Do you already use a wireless controller and wireless USB adapter combination ... recommendation?

Yep sure do, I have the 8bitdo wireless adapter (about £15 on Amazon uk) and at the moment a "borrowed" from the kids PS4 dualshock controller.

I haven't tried every game to be honest, Cuphead and Sonic works for example.

I needed to ensure the adaptor is on the latest firmware (download from their website) and set to "x-input" by pressing share and up on the PS4 controller.

After changing the x-input mode, I think I needed to reboot the car.

But works really well, just need to press the PS button on the controller to connect now.

I wouldn't recommend the MSI Force GC20 wired controller or GC30 wireless controller. These used to work, but not anymore. If anyone knows of a solution to get this working, I would very much appreciate your wise knowledge.
