Tesla just confirmed the Model Y Model 3 wireless charger upgrade is rolling out with 50W power delivery.
The Announcement
The Model 3 and Model Y will receive upgraded wireless phone chargers capable of 50 watts for compatible devices. This moves far beyond the current 15W setup and aligns with the Model Y L charging pad update already discussed in recent reports.
Why the Change
Right now most owners skip the center console pad because 15 watts feels too slow. The new Tesla 50W wireless charging should change that for phones supporting fast wireless standards. It makes sense to roll this out across the Model Y and Model 3 at the same time instead of creating separate parts for the Model Y L.
For owners still dealing with the original Model Y L charging pad problem, this broader rollout should eventually standardize the better hardware.
What It Means for Owners
Faster charging could finally make the built-in pad useful again, especially on long drives or when using Full Self-Driving. Many drivers already prefer a mount that keeps the phone in their line of sight. The Model Y phone charger upgrade and Model 3 wireless phone charger update give people a real choice between the console pad and aftermarket solutions.
