" ... Wireless charging for the Tesla Model 3 early 2020 and prior. ... Later versions of the Tesla Model now comes with the wireless charging pad preinstalled. ... However, this one can charge with the phone lying horizontally. ... I do not believe the Tesla wireless charging pad will be able to do that. ... "

" ... She loves that you can charge the phone upright or side ways. ... "

" ... Nicely packaged, it installed easily and was perfectly compatible with the JEDA Hub. ... "
" ... Great wireless charger that comes with two usb splitters for use with the TeslaCam. ... "
" ... I do not use the splitter cables as I connected it directly to the Jeda usb hub (also awesome - check it out!). ... "
" ... For this version, you can plug them directly into the front Tesla USB ports and even with the latest firmware updates, there are no issues with charging. ... For example, if I get a USB hub with USB-C ports, I might buy a micro USB to USB C cable. ... "
" ... It also comes with splitters so you can keep your USB dongle in for your camera recordings. ... "
" ... The product works as advertised, easy installation used one of the USB ports and splitter supplied to hookup both sides of charging pads. ... "
" ... Comes with all the cables necessary and the splitters so that you can plug in any extra accessories, of which I have a SSD for the Cameras and it works flawlessly! ... "
" ... But the coolest thing about it is this: I just upgraded to an iPhone 12 Pro MAX, which is a huge device. ... "

" ... I do not use the splitter cables as I connected it directly to the Jeda usb hub (also awesome - check it out!). ... "
" ... I'm not sure if this is the wrong version for my car, but I didn't have two regular USB plugs available, I have one regular USB and one USB-C, so the cables didn't install as expected - I had to order a USB-C to USB converter (I actually ordered three since the back console in the car also has USB-C plugs, and I needed to provide regular USB plugs for charging). ... Also had to use one of the Y adapters provided to hook up a USB drive for the dashcam, and it works great. ... "
" ... There is also usb-c output, although I haven’t had an opportunity to test. ... "
" ... The splitter cable was handy as i use a usb stick for the dashcam. ... "
" ... The product works as advertised, easy installation used one of the USB ports and splitter supplied to hookup both sides of charging pads. ... "
" ... Nicely packaged, it installed easily and was perfectly compatible with the JEDA Hub. ... "
" ... I suggest packaging with a USB hub to eliminate the cable clutter. ... Just saw your new product 5 in 1 USB hub organizer. ... "
" ... It takes up both USB ports but they provide you with two USB splitters so it’s as if it hasn’t used any at all. ... "

" ... Have a relatively thick leather case, but that was no problem for this charger! ... "
" ... It seems product is made of high quality material. ... "
" ... Exterior of the pad is of high quality, but time will tell if its internal components are also of good quality. ... "
" ... It improved many areas, particularly the material which is now a soft rubber surface that feels great and doesn’t let your phone move, which made it comparable to Nomad at a much lower price. ... "
" ... The phone case has a metal clip on the back to support the phone when it opens, good that this pad still can charge it. ... "

" ... Would also have been nice to have the option to plug in a physical Lightning cable, for phones that don't have inductive charging (or that, like my significant other's phone, have a magnetic plate, PopSocket, or other attachment that prevents inductive charging), but it looks like there are plenty of USB-C to Lightning adapters that can fill that gap. ... "
" ... Still, it charges fine and is way more convenient than a cable. ... "
" ... There is also an attached charge cable in case you want the phone on the console. ... "
" ... The splitter cable was handy as i use a usb stick for the dashcam. ... "
" ... Fast charging without the hassle of cables! ... "
