Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for phone mounts. Haven't seen any that stand out as a universal favorite just yet, so would be nice to hear about other peoples' experiences

I have been using a similar one in my model 3… works great.

I use this one. Phone is at an ideal distance and position above the front console USB-C ports, and has the added benefit of a hidden place to store my sunglasses.
Oh, and I replaced the phone holster with this Magsafe charging cradle - the ball joints are the same size. I run the cable from out of the front center console.

This one is my favorite. It looks like a built in. Strong magnet and charges well. Great for zoom, face time, and waze

Im selling this one. It just became available today. I just never used it. Works great though! Check out my TY vid below for my install.
Selling it for $50 shipped just to recoup the purchase a bit.

I tried many phone mounts and this is the one I like most. The mount can be angled towards the driver. Also note that I installed the swivel screen mount as well.

Considering the Model Y comes with a wireless charger and navigation on the screen, why do you guys want a phone mount? For video calls while you drive?

My reasoning is "avoid highway mode". Teslas navi doesnt offer it. Here in Rhode Island / New England, there isnt a need to hit the highway every 10 minutes. Back roads can be just as fast, safer, and less time in fact.
I used it for that solely.
I've seen this one and actually like the design best. Does the wire just dangle? Jowua just came out with one that comes with a cable long enough to be ran through the upholstery seams to connect all the way to the back USB-C port without being seen. Really nice if you're trying to keep the minimalist look.
I've only had my Tesla for 3 days and my 3rd time navigation with Tesla Nav took me through a +10min detour to a supercharger(compared to Waze, Google, Apple routes). I already don't trust it all that much and will probably continue comparing Tesla Nav to Google Map routes until I gain some confidence.
Imagine if I had 1% battery or 99% full colon, it'd be a very stressful time on Tesla Nav lol.

The video on-site shows the cable is routed to the center console and then using an included 12v to USB-C lighter adapter you plug it in there. I'm not sure it would reach all the way to the back USB connectors.
ahhh I see. I found this video on it, this one is my top pick now i think.
so nice that you can still close the compartment fully too
