USB Ports
Model Y has two USB ports located in the front

NOTE: Power is available whenever the vehicle is
considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many
reasons. For example, when using features such as
Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning,
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Camp Mode,
Sentry Mode,
etc. are enabled. The vehicle is also awake whenever the 12V battery is being charged or is in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the 12V battery.
NOTE: Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a
device to a USB port. Using non-compliant cables can result in slower charging, potential connection problems or degraded performance.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple devices using a USB
hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by Media Player
, Sentry Mode,
Dashcam, etc.
Wireless Phone Charger
A wireless phone charger is integrated into the front
console to provide up to 15W of power to charge a Qi- enabled phone. Simply place your phone on the charger. Your device may feel warm while charging, but this is a normal
effect of inductive charging.
When placed on the wireless charger, your phone
charges whenever the vehicle is powered on (the
touchscreen is on and you are in the vehicle). Your phone will not charge after exiting the vehicle
unless a
feature (such as Sentry mode) is enabled and therefore
providing power to the USB ports (see Sentry Mode on
