I could be wrong, but I thought that using a splitter would slow down the charging speeds because you’re using the power from one USB port to charge 2 phones. Is that not true?

If you have an iPhone, I found out the hard way that USB splitters power port will not charge an iPhone. I ended up buying a 3-port USB 3 hub (found this one at Fry's: Fry's Electronics |). I installed a 256 GB music flash drive, a 32 GB dashcam flash drive and the Tesla-supplied IOS charging cable in one side and directly connected the other IOS charging cable on the other side. Still had ample power to charge iPhone XR.

Yup
<SammichLover>, glad you learned how to read. Too bad you don't know how to search, or think one step ahead.

"Have learned how to read" had already put me at least one step ahead of you, and now you continue to work very hard in your post to undermine your bizarre "USB hardline is the future" assertion and help me out. LOL

I still can’t understand why they are using this headliner color on the 3. It looks terrible with the white interior, and doesn’t look great with the black either. Standardize on a black headliner for all models and it would look SO much better. I can’t imagine it would cost any more than the current version and, as a bonus, it would be more stain resistant.

Tesla doesn't support AptX.

From Undocumented | TeslaTap
Bluetooth – 3.0 + HS; Audio streaming with A2DP sink, A2DP source, AVRCP 1.4; Audio Profile A2DP includes support for standard SBC codec (highly compressed low-bit rate audio); Uses the Parrot FC6050 W chip.

Therefore, playing stored MP3 music files, or Spotify/Pandora over Bluetooth, is just asking for bad sounding compressed audio given these specs.

a
P.S.:
Also: Why doesn't Tesla's Bluetooth support AptX?

TeslaTap/Undocumented has a mix of Model 3/S/X stuff, It is not clear what car model it is saying uses this chip. Do you have any more info?
