USB-C Cable available for dock

[gmtom1]

The tesla store has Model 3 accessories available, and I noticed there's a USB-C cable available so I ordered it. Just received it today, and it looks like it will work with the existing docks in the Model X and S.

It was $14, but worth it for saving the effort of shaving down a regular right angle USB C cord.

Got one too. I tried modifying one but it was a failed attempt.

Did it fit?

It fits, only difference is the USB-A plug isn't a right angle.

I used this (below) in my X. No modifications required, though it is a straight USB-A connector. It still fits fine.

Amazon.com: USB C to Standard USB 2.0, CableCreation Angled Type USB C to USB 2.0 A Cable, USB 3.1 Cable for Apple The Macbook, Chromebook Pixel, LG G6/G5, Nexus 5X/6P & More, 6ft/1.8M Black: Home Audio & Theater

The Model 3 USB-C cable works perfectly with the X/S premium dock. Only difference is the A-side plug is not a right angle. It's even long enough to reach if you have a fast charge 12V adapter in the socket.

Thanks for the info as I just ordered mine form Tesla to fit my original Center Console.

There a better/new cable on Amazon now which is right-angled at the USB-A connector as well. Select the "90°TypeC-3.0 Left" option.

Another reason why I love this community... Thanks for this info. Saves me a ton of time searching on Amazon.

No problem. Just need to trim the USB-C end down a bit with a razor knife. Really easy.

Has anyone bought the new kit from Tesla with the USB-c cable included? Curious as to whether the USB-A side is straight (same cable they sell for the model 3) or if it's 90 degrees on both ends. Thanks!

Replying to my own post to share the answer. I bought the usb-c kit from tesla and the usb-c cable is right angle at both ends. Fits better than the cable for the model 3, IMHO. Not a fan of the tesla side/guide rails, but the ones from Skyline Products work great and I don't need to remove my phone from its case
