Hello, I'm picking up another model 3 on Friday. Does anyone want to swap my lightning cable to a USB C cable?

Lightning to USB-C Cable Swap

First batch of model 3's even came with an Alcantara head liner. The pros and cons of getting a Tesla early in production.
Note the USB cable only allows you to charge your phone, not play music (at least with an iPhone). While the "dock mechanism" requires a 90° plug (sold on Tesla shop), you can still use any USB cable you already have, it just won't be "docked". There's enough space to pass the wire to the phone between the console lid and the place where you put your phone. That's what I'm doing for now, as I only charge my phone once in a while... until I get a wireless charger mat, or Tesla allows Media playback through USB with an iPhone.
That sucks... I would have gotten a wireless charging pad but none of our phones (still using pixel 1) have that function. So, what else is missing on this SR+ as supposed to what was included for my LR? Floor mats, homelink module, nema 14-50 adaptor, and now the USB cables....?
You'll get heated rear seats until an update takes that away from you. Also the sound system is nerfed, and you won't get satelite visuals on the maps display.
I think those features are expected as SR+ cost significant less than the LR back then. I'm just surprised that they cut cost by taking away the little things that would probably cost Tesla less than a few hundred dollars to produce...
That's what I heard in the reviews... Since our old car has a crappy 6 speakers system only, this should be a nice upgrade! I'm not a audiophile in any means, but I think the sound system in the LR is amazing...
Here is the reason why: Tesla reviewer reveals a secret of the Model 3's stellar sound system
Only difference in sound system I've heard about is the missing sub in the trunk and maybe a set of speaker on the side.
As for the "missing" mats and cable, it does make sense as everyone need a different solution. Why bother giving USB-C cable if what you need is micro-USB or lightning? Don't give any and let the buyer get the one he need (if he need one). Same goes for mats. Some wants carpet, other standard all weather, some weathertech style mats...

Automobile margins are very tight compared to other manufactured goods. A few hundred dollars could be the difference between making or losing money on every car produced. It's one of the toughest industries to get a foothold in and it's a small miracle that Tesla is still going relatively strong.
You guys are right. It doesn't come with any cables so I'm planning to order the USB c and lightning combo. Anyone still want to swap?
