I wouldn’t have believed it either!
Just like the title says..picked up my brand new 3;
Checked inductive charging pads..CHECK
Checked usb-c ports..in front storage compartment..dead..rear seats…dead!
Just to sanity check I have a good cable; plug in to MacBook Air (USB-C -> Lightning)…CHECK!
On a weird hunch; I grab my APPLE USB-C -> USB-C (OEM MacBook Air charge cable) and it INDEED charges my MacBook Air from any of the four ports in the car!!
So YES ladies and gentlemen…USB-C cable brand/quality makes a difference!
(FWIW; my USB-C -> Lightning cable was a cheapie from 5-Below. I put in an order for an OFFICIAL Apple one)
