Wired Charging in Model Y?

[devios117]

Hey Friends,

Just took delivery of my Model Y and I don't have a cell phone capable of wireless charging nor do I prefer it as it's too slow. I examined the back plate of the charging pad and there appears to be channels to run a charging cable but the bottom of the cell phone tray doesn't have any pass throughs for the wires to pop out. Anyone successfully add wired charging to their model Y yet?

I'm wondering if it could be as simple as installing a spacer and getting a cable (links below)

Thanks!

Wondering about this as well, while waiting for my VIN.

For anyone that's curious, I was able to setup wired charging by buying a model 3 non charging OEM cell phone pad, double right angle cable creations cable, and a 6 mm spacer. It's perfection!

Where did you get this model 3 oem pad? And what’s a 6mm spacer? Do you have pictures ? Thanks!

I got the Model 3 phone pad on eBay and I bought the 6mm spacer from 3d engineer solutions on Etsy ). Pic attached!

The wireless pad is actually charging at fairly fast speeds. It is a 10 w charger. The USB C of course will be faster if you plug in directly, but the wireless isn't too bad either. Here is a video that talks about it.

We wanted to be able to keep the wireless pad in place and add USB-C PD charging speeds, so here's what we came up with: Wired Phone Fast-Charging Kit for Model 3/Y

The trick was finding USB-C to USB-C cables that would fit, but these do and can handle the full 27W to capable devices.

It asks “select extension height - small, medium, large”. To convert my Y to the Model 3 charger which one is it?
