New iPhone 13 Pro Max in a case does not work with the 2021 Model 3 wireless charging pad

Mine 2022 M3LR my iPhone 13 Pro Max works sometimes straight up - but works much better when phone is upside down - must be the camera on the phone

I had the same with my iPhone 13 Pro on my 2020 M3 with OEM wireless charger. The camera bump prevents it from sitting flush.

I put a strip of black felt at the bottom of the charger (where the lip is) to raise the phone up and this resolved the issue.

I’d like to try this. Same issue here. Can you be a little more specific on the strip of felt? Is the case then not in contact with the charging pad, but somehow still works?

2022 Model Y
My iPhone 12 Pro Max with a thin, clear case, shows it’s connected, (like “charging “), but the phones battery percentage never increases.
Doesn’t make sense, the phone is getting power but it does not charge.

Seems kinda stupid to remove case every time.

Any suggestions or aftermarket products to booster the cars charging pads?

Same problem here. Bought the new Iphone 13 Pro Max with Apple's leather case... won't charge in my Tesla Y. Have to remove the case for it to charge.

hmm i dont have an issue in the 2022 m3p charging the 1tbn pro 13 max. in my opinion, it seems tesla designed the space for the ifruit. i have a s22 ultra 1tb and an fold 3, and the fold 3 is difficult to charge there, and the s22 is a bit too wide.

edit -- i dont have the ifruit in a case

Has anyone tried the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Spacer (Jeda Spacer) with the 2022 Model Y?
does this seem to make a difference?

I have iPhone 13 Pro Max with Spigen Air Cushion case and it works just fine?

Not to bring up an older thread, but has anyone gotten a case other than the Apple leather MagSafe working with their iPhone 13 Pro Max and wireless charging in a Model 3? I have an Otterbox Commuter case and wireless charging does not work in the Tesla.

Otterbox makes what is probably the best-protecting cases out there.

Unfortunately they're very thick and it puts the phone's coil too high up from the charge pad. My wife's phone won't charge via wireless unless its Otterbox is removed where mine will (I have a silicone case from Apple.)

We've tried face-down and that doesn't work either (on either of our phones.)
