Jeda left USB C port?

[DadRS99]

So I finally got the Jeda and of course I plug it in and realize the left usb c port doesn’t works for the OEM pad?

it also doesn’t seem to work for my USB stick that has a dual usb c and usb a switch.
What can that left usb c Jeda port be used for?

I installed the hub a few days ago and also had the same question. I'm not a tech expert, but this is from their website...

"If you use the stock Tesla Pad which comes equipped in your Tesla, the USB C connector on the right side of the hub has been designed to maintain power, and comply with USB C power delivery specs. The options with the Jeda USB Hub are limitless: utilize with charging, music, gaming, data storage, and more. Customize to your choosing and setup"

I'm not sure what the left USB-C port can be used for or why it would be different than the one on the right.

Yes. It seems like they’re not the same. A normal sub c stick works on the right, but not the left.

There are different types of USB-C ports, not all are the same. The charging mat will probably require a lot more power than a normal USB connection can provide so it would need the Power Delivery (PD) type of port. USB flash drives and such would not need all that power and they would want a normal USB data connection type of port.

I checked the hub's USB-C ports by charging my headphones. My iPhone doesn't supports wireless charging so I leave the pad unplugged.

Yes if dig around on the Jeda website (it's not immediately obvious, at least not to me) you can find a page/place where they note that only the right-most USB-C can properly drive the wireless charging pad.

I'm using it for wired charging of USB-C phones, personally... but I would think USB-C accessories that need data (game controllers, etc?) might work as well?

The 3 USB-A ports to the left were sufficient for my needs (one A-to-lightning cable for my work iphone and two EasySMX game controllers), and I use the two USB-C ports to charge phones (either with two USB-C cables or two phones charging at once on the wireless pad, either which way it gets the job done, for my needs at least)...
