Nice! 
I made an adapter for our Model Y that works with Tesla's lightning to USB-A cables and also some 27W-capable USB-C to USB-C cables we were able to source. It works along with Tesla's wireless pad, so should fit your and your wife's needs with one of Tesla's lightning to USB-A cables.
We'd love to find some lightning to USB-C cables that will fit also, but from what we've seen, most Apple users are going to use the wireless pad anyway or are fine with lightning to USB-A since it's an older device.
Here's a video showing basically what you've already said about how Tesla's instructions in the manual are wrong too:
