Taptes new wireless charging pad

[whatthe2]

Try entering the tracking number from the Taptes order page at 4PX tracking / Postal Ninja. I have a "4PX Tracking Number" and it worked on that site. Mine is somewhere in Shenzhen, China.

Thanks for that link.

Mine has been at LAX since 12/10.

It takes a while to get through customs in LAX, once it gets through customs the shipping company takes a few days to pick it up. Mine finally arrived yesterday.

Anyone know what the 5 little adhesive pads are for?

Does it say "LAX, Shipment arrived at airport of destination country", or "LAX, Released from customs: customs cleared."?

Mine took 10 days to get through customs, hopefully should be delivered sometime this week.

It says arrived. Guess I have a bit longer to wait.

I received mine last night. I ordered 11/30/18. It arrived in LAX on Dec 5th and was released by customs on the 11th, arriving at my house on the 17th.

So far it's working great, even through the USB hub

Received and installed a Gen 1 unit. Kept it simple for now with one active port. Looks and works great. A definite upgrade to Tesla’s OEM charger kit. Perfect fit for iPhoneX, which it holds securely.

Mine seems to be stuck in LAX after release from Customs... I'm going to be mad if it doesn't arrive before my road trip at the end of the month. Ordered 11/25.

Mine sat at LAX for 3 days after clearing customs before moving on. Hopefully your charger is on it's way soon!

Mine arrived today!
It seems well made. Works well so far.
Got upgrade (battery), but did not install it. Doesn’t seem necessary. Also have concerns based on post in this thread about battery going to sleep requiring presing it’s power switch.

well we're on the wrong thread but what the heck, I got my Nomad earlier this week also, is great.....posted on another thread that it's charging two sides from one power cable into one USB port. Are you seeing the same?

Yup!

I had my phone on the driver side and it was charging. My phone was at like 90% figured put it on the passenger side since it didnt need a charge and it charged it right up. Maybe it needs both to charge faster...

I have an Anker battery with PowerIQ 2, which unofficially supports QC3. However, I only have USB voltage/current monitors from couple years back and I have a feeling that them being in between the battery and pad will cause the battery to default to 5V. I'll try tonight.

Just received my TAPTES charger. Shipped Dec 4th and arrived Dec 19th.

It works perfectly and looks MUCH better than my JEDA wireless pad.

LOL NOMAD

My Taptes Wireless Charger arrived yesterday. Installed last night. Here’s a quick video I made...

Can the version without the battery keep charging with waze going.

I don’t use waze, not sure what the issue would be.
I assume you must asking about A Tesla App running on your phone & not Teslawaze on your car’s browser.

Anyone know what the 5 little adhesive pads are for?

The rubber pad that comes with the car (and is put aside when you install the charging pad) has 6 locating "tabs" on the bottom.

I haven't applied them yet, but I'm, guessing we apply the adhesive pads to the back of the charging pad, positioned in the same pattern that locating "tabs" are positioned on the OEM rubber pad. This would be to prevent movement and rattling.

Some unrelated feedback, I don't like how the charging pad interferes with the top cover when you flip up the charging "base". they should've made the charging pad slightly shorter or rounded the top edge or something.
