I wanted to share my phone mount solution in case it suits someone else's wants. I researched this for a while before finding the solution I wanted by chance. To summarize: I wanted a minimal mount that worked with a pop-socket.
First: I wanted a mount that didn't take away from the simplicity of the car, perk if I could hide it from view. In my Model S I used to have one of those small magnet balls where I'd just touch my phone to it and that was all. The mount was so minimal it worked great. I couldn't find a good spot with the design of the Y where that mount would have worked as nice.
Second: I use a popwallet with a pop socket. With my magnet mount I would have the magnet above the wallet so it was never an issue. Since that isn't really an option with the Y, I wanted a solution that wouldn't require me to pop the wallet off everytime I mounted it.
Lastly: I don't really use my phone much whole in the car (as in I don't use it for navigation or the like). I have a pretty strict no phone usage while driving rule; however, I do stream music from it and sometimes use waze when I know the traffic will be tricky to where I do have the occasional glance. I wanted something other than the wireless charging spot so it's safer to look at but didn't need full visibility.
After considering MANY different options, I settled on wanting something I could mount behind the screen and could work with my popwallet/socket. Finding a mount that would bend from the back to the front, that wasn't a big gooseneck, and could work with my setup, was a struggle. That's when I came across the official Popsocket mount. Once I realized it was flexible to bend the direction I wanted, it felt like the solution I was looking for, and I could hide it from view.
I just installed it, and did not install the 3M plate that came to it, just the suction cup portion. I live in FL where you have to be careful with mounts melting, but with all the windows tinted and the car spending 95% of it's time in the garage right now, it's a good time to test.
I'll come back to this post and update overtime if anyone is interested.
