I've been driving a Tesla Model Y, and the USB ports are conveniently located under the front center console. Just lift the armrest lid, and you'll find two USB-C ports inside, perfect for charging your phone or connecting devices. The placement is so thoughtful that you can easily plug in cables while driving without taking up extra space. These USB-C ports support fast charging and high-speed data transfer, with a charging power of up to 60W, so your phone can be fully charged in no time. Most Model Ys from 2021 onwards come with this setup, but if you have an older model, there might be an additional port in the front glove box. If you're unsure, check the car manual for illustrated instructions. Tesla's layout optimizes the user experience, making daily use effortless and eliminating the hassle of bending over. Enthusiasts say adding extra ports is easy, but the original setup is already more than sufficient.
