I can't answer your question specifically, but in general wireless charging is very dependent on coil alignment. The problem with an arrangement like the MY has is that the coil position in the phone rest is fixed so how well it charges any particular phone is dependent on that phone's construction.I have a Model Y. Has anyone any experience of using a wireless Samsung phone in the Tesla? Thinking of getting one, but need to know it works reasonably well.
Any case will make wireless charging less efficient simply by moving the phone that much further away. If it’s already marginal teh case may be enough To totally disrupt it.I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I had to buy a new case before the wireless charging would work. Since I’ve gotten the new case it works fine.
I have a 2021 model Y and I use the wireless charger quite frequently with my Galaxy Fold3, just updated a couple of days ago to Galaxy Fold4. It charges very reliably, though not very fast, with the phone in a plastic shell case. The phone does have to be folded so that it's shaped like a normal smartphone, because there's a vertical ridge running through the center of the Tesla dual charging pad.I have a Model Y.

Hey, Loaner-I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I had to buy a new case before the wireless charging would work. Since I’ve gotten the new case it works fine.
Welp, guess I'm making a service call...I have a Samsung S21 Ultra - it charges fine in my 2022 MY, with the phone case on, no problem.
I already had the service call. Tech placed two iPhones he had on my existing wireless charger with Otterbox phone cases installed, and both charged just fine. My Spigen clear case isn’t cutting it. I’m either going to get an Apple MagSafe clear case or a clear Otterbox case. The tech even offered to change out my wireless charger for a new one, but we both agreed that would be pointless.Welp, guess I'm making a service call...
IIRC, you can take the entire charging platform out fairly easily. It might be worth bringing it inside and plugging it in to a USB C charging block so you can play around a bit. My guess is the charger works but people’s phones are either positioned poorly and/or their case is too thick.I already had the service call.

To your point about coil placement, I've laid my Apple AirPods Pro case on wireless charger, but—of course—it slides down to the bottom and the indicator light on my Apple AirPods Pro case never turns ON. Instead, I've opted to charge it with a short, stock Apple USB-C to Apple Lightning cable from the front compartment of my Model Y center console. Works fine for now.IIRC, you can take the entire charging platform out fairly easily. It might be worth bringing it inside and plugging it in to a USB C charging block so you can play around a bit.

I’ve said this before, but wireless charging can be very picky when it comes to aligning the coils (i.e. how the phone is positioned on the stand) and how thick your case is. The problem with a charging shelf like Tesla has is it essentially gives no flexibility in how your position your phone, so if the coil in the phone doesn’t line up well enough it just won’t work. Even if it says your phone is charging, poor positioning can significantly limit the power transfer. (Then there’s FSD deciding to take a curve a bit fast and causing your phone to slide over 5 mm…)
If you have an iPhone, Apple’s MagSafe system reduces these issues by using magnets to ensure proper alignment. Unfortunately I haven’t seen any MagSafe chargers for Tesla.
