Exclusive: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Are Getting Upgraded Wireless Phone Chargers
The refresh applies to both the Model 3 Highland and Model Y Juniper reworks, according to Not a Tesla App.
Tesla is planning upgraded wireless phone chargers for the Model 3 and Model Y, according to an exclusive report from Not a Tesla App.
What Happened
The outlet reports that both the Model 3 Highland and the recently refreshed Model Y Juniper will receive improved wireless charging pads. The current-generation chargers have drawn criticism from some owners for slow charging speeds and inconsistent device compatibility. Details on exact specifications or timing of the rollout were not immediately available.
Why It Matters
Wireless charging has become a standard convenience feature in modern vehicles, and Tesla's current setup has lagged behind competitors in both speed and pad size. Upgraded chargers would address longstanding owner complaints and bring the interior experience in line with what buyers expect at these price points. For fleet operators and daily commuters who rely on their phones throughout the day, faster wireless charging reduces the need for cable management.
The Bottom Line
Tesla appears ready to refresh the wireless phone chargers across its highest-volume vehicles, though official confirmation and full details have not yet been released.
