Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Get Upgraded Wireless Chargers with Active Cooling

Tesla will upgrade the wireless chargers in the Model 3 and Model Y with an actively cooled design using fans, first introduced in the Model Y L in China. This upgrade reduces overheating and increases charging power from 15W to up to 50W for phones supporting non-Qi2 fast wireless charging. The new component is compatible with most Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, simplifying production. However, the Cybertruck will require a specific design due to its different center console layout. The update does not include the Qi2 standard, which would improve alignment and charging speed.

• Wireless charging power increased from 15W to 50W in Model 3 and Model Y
• Active cooling with fans prevents phone overheating during charging
