Is the “always-on” power behavior in the center console ports somehow different for MCU2 cars?
I just upgraded from MCU1 / AP2 to MCU2 / AP3 (HAPPILY!) but since the upgrade the items powered off my center console are all shutting off sometime after I leave the car.
In my ‘17 Model S I have plugged into my center console:
- USB1 = OEM Tesla lightning holder bracket
- USB2 = USBA-> USBC to power MiFi hotspot (for blackvue cameras and escort radar detectors)
- 12v adapter = USB-A power to non-OEM wireless charging mat.
Post-upgrade, I added a tiny flash USB key to one of the USB ports for sentry (works great). But every morning when I come out to the car the MiFi hotspot is dead. It immediately powers up and starts charging at 0% when I go into the car, so it seems clear the ports shut off at some point.
Am I perhaps crazy and this was always the case? (I don’t think so). Or is there a setting somewhere to change this behavior?
