How to Disable Wireless Charging in My Model Y? 

Tesla Model Y Wireless Charging: Convenience or Nuisance?

So, Cantech is talking about the Tesla Model Y's wireless charging, and it got me thinking. Is this feature truly as beneficial as we think, or are we overlooking some serious drawbacks?

The article mentions heat generation, compatibility issues, and the lack of a disable option. How many of you have experienced these problems? Is the convenience worth the potential battery degradation from excess heat, especially in hotter climates? I know I’ve felt my phone get toasty on that pad.

And what about the always-on nature of the charger? It seems odd there’s no way to simply turn it off. Are we stuck using cardboard hacks? Is Tesla missing the mark on user control here, or is there a technical reason for this limitation?

I’m curious to hear your long-term experiences with this feature. Has anyone noticed any significant impact on their phone’s battery health? Do you predominantly use the wireless charging, or do you prefer a wired connection?

Looking ahead, do you think wireless charging will become the standard, or will wired connections continue to prevail? Will future Tesla models offer more control over this feature? Let’s discuss!
