Tesla just launched a desktop supercharger smartphone charger on their website. The best part is it's only $45! I just ordered one, can't wait to get it!

The listing on the Tesla web site says:
Similar to the ones that have been 3-d printed by hobbyists, you supply your own USB charging cable specific to your phone and route the cable through the stand.

Anyone actually have one of these yet? The pictures on the site seem to indicate that you have to somehow thread a charging cable of your choice through the bottom up one side, right?
Also looks like you need to rest the plug end of the cable up in the corner as there is no place to "plug" it in when not in use. A real supercharger has a holster to plug the cable end in when not in use, doesn't seem like it for these.
The pictures also look like this is 100x better than those 3d printed ones on ebay, should make a nice XMAS gift!

I just received mine. Can confirm that the build quality is 100x better than the 3D printed ones. But I haven't yet figured out how to thread the cable and no instructions were included...
Update: figured it out. The front plate comes off which gives you more access to thread the cable through. Definitely not straight forward, left some marks on the plastic while doing it.
Tesla if you're reading this, probably better to ship disassembled.

Waiting for mine to arrive. They come in and out of stock quickly, so if you are interested guys, it pays to check out the Tesla shop frequently.

Doesn't look like
And there's no online shop in Europe. I'll try to visit a London store on the weekend to see if they maybe have them.

I would love to get a power bank! I have the Desktop Supercharger and watched your video to figure out how to put in the cable

I just emailed the store to ask for the manual as couldn't work out how to take it apart without damaging it. A bit silly they provide instructions in multiple languages for the boot mat (clue: roll it out!) but not for this!
