Wireless Phone Charger by Tesla

[Eno Deb]

Just popped up in the store:

Model 3 Wireless Phone Charger

Doesn't seem to offer anything special though that the 3rd party models don't.

Looks nice. If I didn’t already have a Nomad I would consider getting the official Tesla wireless charger.

If I were Tesla I would start offering these accessories on the ordering page when you purchase your car.

From the pictures it looks like this takes a slightly different approach than Jeda, Nomad and Taptes. Instead of having it's own "lip" to hold the phone, it apparently replaces the piano-black piece that covers the lower base of the charge bay. If you have a large phone that doesn't quite fit in the other chargers, it might work in this one.

Wonder if it’s made for Tesla by one of the other vendors and what the specs are?

 

[Paladon]

If they had offered a longer plug for my phone so it can fit in the case I wouldn't consider spending $100+ for a wireless charger.

Interesting, wonder if they provide a splitter (ala Nomad) to address the TeslaCam USB drive.

 

[Chanceofthat]

Well I bought one... guess we’ll see how it is in 2-3 weeks.

I bit as well, eventually I'll either be selling it or my Nomad.

Hopefully this will work well. It is certainly not cheap, but it will fit, so I also bit.

That bottom lip piece would be great to get separately. My phone has fallen from the charger into cubby numerous times either from acceleration or a bumpy road.

Now that I'm using my iPhone as a wallet (pouch on rear) it won't charge wirelessly. I consider it a trade-off and hope that eventually in the future, I won't need to carry around physical cards or ID that will block the induction charging.

Tesla put this up on their site a couple weeks ago: Model 3 Wireless Phone Charger

Has anyone purchased and received this yet? How does it compare to the Nomad?

 

[kengchang]

Ordered, not shipped yet

 

[Bill Foster]

Ordered one on amazon. 49 bucks and it works great and fits perfect

Which one did you get?

Which one did you get?

Taptes?

I was a little hesitant to get an aftermarket one but its made really well and fits perfect, saved some cash!

I would like someone to compare charging speed between the official Tesla one and the Taptes.

Ordered the Taptes and installed it, and found out that my Galaxy Note 9 is too tall to fit onto the charger, so i ended up returning it. I bought the new Tesla one as soon as I saw it, and am hoping it will work. The big difference between the two is the Tesla one doesn't have the "ledge" on the bottom of the charger like the Jeda and Taptes ones do so the phone should sit lower on the charger. I haven't received mine yet but did order it a week or so ago so hoping it shows up in the next week or so.

good info, my XS Max with the Apple leather case fits perfect

I plan on getting the Jeda, so I can test that with my Pixel 3 XL if/when my Model 3 gets delivered.

For others with Android devices. If you could download the Ampere app from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere) and share:

- Device make/model (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S10)
- Model 3 wireless charger (e.g. Jeda, Taptes, Tesla, Nomad)
- USB Plug location (e.g. Dash, Back seat, 12v)
- Amperage from Ampere app (e.g. 520mA)

If you're able to, test different configurations like plugging into 12v and dash and providing both results.
We should be able to make a fairly comprehensive list of chargers, devices, and charge speed!
