Greenmission wireless phone charger arrived!

[‘Merica]

I’ve been looking for good options for wireless phone charging in my S for quite some time. I purchased a Taptes insert for the console which works well, but I much prefer the deeper storage and cup holders, so I ended up removing it.

I saw a random link for this item in a Tesla owners Facebook group last week and jumped on it. I ordered Friday and it arrived here all the way from Norway in under 5 days.

Installation was simple as can be, although the fit is a little loose on my cheap-o Taptes center console. I’m assuming it’s better with OEM, but I can’t verify. I rectified that by glueing two rubber bumpers onto the mount and it’s solid as can be. My iPhone XR fits perfectly into the cradle. I’m currently running a slim rubber case, but I’ll throw the old otterbox onto it later and see if it fits. I believe it will.

The charging works well, the look is very clean, and the phone is visible and easy to access. Much safer than fiddling with charging cords in the car.

Overall I am very pleased. For $60 shipped, there’s great value there IMO.

Is this just 3D-printed bracket for a wireless charging mat inside? If so, $60 seems a tad steep, especially since it looks like it didn't even get sanded properly.

I’m sure you absolutely could make one for less than $60 if you have a 3D printer. I don’t and the time invested would be worth way more than $60 in my world. In the case of this product, I like the simplicity of the design and ease of use.

Oh I was just curious whether it just looked like a 3d-printed bracket in the pictures or the Tesla tax has reached new heights.

Haha there is typically a premium, isn’t there? To be honest I don’t have much experience with 3D printed items, but my assumption is that’s what this is. It feels very solid - not cheap. The usb cable feels more robust than your typical cheap knock off chargers.

Nice, glad you're happy with it! These days you really don't need to own a 3D printer or know much about them to find models and get them printed. Between Thingverse and the proliferation of maker spaces and online printing services, you can get it done pretty cheaply. But sometimes a finished and tested product is simpler and better than trial and error involved in finding a good fit.

Looks great! Does the lid close easily? I 3d printed my own very similarly, with similar cost. That looks like a good value as well. To print your own even close to Greenmission;'s you would need a pretty high end 3d printer. How is the charging rate? Thanks!!
