Issues with Model Y wireless phone charger

[laservet]

No, this is an issue with all phones as the Tesla wireless charger has a small lip. It’s the dumbest design ever. Order the Jada spacer and be done with it.

So I replaced the bumper with the Jeda spacer so that the phone can slide inside the bumper as it’s suppose too.

I bought the Jeda spacer, solves the problem, can’t beat the price.

Today my iPhone 11 Pro Max updated to iOS 14.2 public beta 3.

I always put my phone on the wireless charger when I’m driving as it’s just a handy place to store it. I’ve never been able to get it charge there with a bumper case on. Suddenly now tonight, it starts charging wirelessly every time I place it in the dock. Literally it works every. Damn. Time.

I’ve literally spent hours trying to get the wireless charger to work prior to tonight. I’m curious if I’m losing my mind or if someone else is seeing this?

MY is on 2020.40.3

My issue is a slight variation of what is mentioned here. The iPhone charger in my MY works intermittently. For example, yesterday went for a drive and it wouldn't charge my son or my wife's iPhone XS, with the case on or the case off, nor would it charge my iPhone 12 Pro with a thin case. Tried several times with repositioning the phones, but no luck. Then on the way home, the phones charged with no problems. It seems like there is some kind of software issue that is turning off the charger at times. Any ideas?

I experienced something similar. I bought an aftermarket charging pad and it seems to work randomly. I assumed it was the charger, but now I'm thinking it may be my Model Y given your post. Not sure how to test that though.

Thanks for the info. This saved me $100. I took a dremel like tool and cut the bottom of the existing plastic stop for the phone. I slid it off, modified it so the bottom plate was gone and but it back in. I have a Galaxy S21 ultra (very large) and it now rests much lower and the charging pad finally works. Thanks a lot!

My pad was not charging my iPhone X or 12 Pro. Mobile service came out and put a new pad in and all is well. They said that there is an updated version.

Ordered the new bottom piece from jeda. Hopefully that will allow me to charge the phone (s20 ultra) with the case.

Edit *
As a test I removed the bottom lip so my phone would sit slightly lower and it worked. My phone charged with my existing case. I'm 99.9% sure the new piece will work

This does look cool, I was just trying to prop up my case yesterday and it didn't work out too well - coin bag kept sagging... If you need someone to beta test it....
