It's all speculation, isn't it -- but IMHO, I wouldn't hold my breath for Tesla to come out with a change to an option that not all MS have.
I have the Center Console, and the design is problematic with my iPhone6... If you have one without a case, it works fine, but the phone is still flimsy tilting side-to-side. Many cases add depth to the back of the case, or to the height between the bottom of the case and where the connector plugs into the bottom of the phone won't work. I tried 3 different cases, and ended-up with a less bulky case on my iPhone that works with the console, but the basic console design for the phone IMHO just isn't flexible enough without a fairly significant redo of the phone section. I fortunately don't need to charge my phone in my MS most of the time, but I already determined if I did, I would just plug a separate cable into a USB outlet to my phone and let it go at that.
You should take a look at this thread I started:
Modifying the Tesla Center Console for phones in cases (Pictures Included)
I am not at all handy, and I was able to modify the iPhone mount to accommodate a phone in a case with basically just a toothpick. I included lots of pictures.

Andy,
thanks for your input... I've actually got the iPhone to dock on the connector just fine (I use a very slim case)...
My issue is the side to side adjustment so I can attach it to the lightning connector without having to "guide" it in the right place. Perhaps I will get some black plastic strips, and try to glue them to the back... if it works, I'll post pictures.

I'm having my center console installed as I type this. Curious what case you found that worked with the docking port? I am also considering getting a "dock extender" but I'm concerned that might end up damaging my phone if it gets knocked.
I'll probably go the route you did (just get a separate cable) but if there is a handy solution that would allow me to use my case at the same time I'd be interested.

Did you see my post, with a link to another thread, in post number three of this thread? It includes details of a really simple modification you can do to the charging port that will allow the port to work with a number of cases, including the Seidio Dilex case my wife uses.
Whoops. Clearly I blew right past your comment! That's a great tip, I will look into doing that. Thanks!
