Is there a general list or comparison of the wireless charging pads available for the model 3?

This is my favorite solution so far:
Review: Magnetic Power 2 XVIDA Qi Charger - The perfect Model 3 mount?
mine is arriving today
Did you receive the Nomad Charger? What's your impression of it?
Mine was 8/15 so you've got to be coming up soon.Anyone else who ordered before September 10 still not had there nomad charger ship? I ordered on 8/24 and still waiting
For me the integrated battery in the Nomad pad is actually one reason (besides the outrageous price) why I didn't order it. For safety reasons I'd prefer a pad without battery, even if the charging is a little slower (and if the speed really bothers you, you could still feed it from the 12V outlet further back in the center console). I'm curious about the rumored Jeda pad version 2 ...Nomad has been making iAccessories for a pretty long time, I felt better about trusting them to put a lithium ion charging solution in my car without burning it down a lot more than I trusted Jeda or others. As far as I know the Model 3 charging base station is Jeda's very first product they've ever done. Not willing to risk damage to my $60K+ Tesla by a company that is just getting going.

Well, I find it hilarious that people are paying $150 (or even $100) for a $5 rubber pad with embedded Qi chargers worth maybe $20. I'm thrifty by nature, I guess. IMO Nomad and Jeda are currently just milking the early adopters. Given how easy these things are to make, I'm sure there will be less expensive options in the next few months. Until then, the wired charging works just fine for me.Well, everyone needs to decide what is important to them. However, anyone who just bought a $50K-$77,000 car referring to spending an extra $50 on a charging solution as "outrageous! Expensive!" is just kind of hilarious to me.
How much faster is the Nomad pad really compared to e.g. the Jeda or a DYI solution with off the shelf Qi pads?The reason that Nomad went this route is that most users want fast charging, not slow charging. If I hop in my car with a nearly dead battery and I'm going to be driving for 30 minutes I want my phone at 40% battery when I get there, not 20%.

Not really, because I know first hand how much R&D effort goes into making a phone.Well, make sure you don't look into how much the cell phone you bought "cost to make". That would be the real sticker shock for you.
Well, that's the first thing I'd like to know before I put a potential fire hazard into my car.As far as speed of Jeda with no battery vs. Nomad with battery, someone who owns both would have to do a comparison, I'm not in a position to do that.
