Tesla's USB ports are located inside the center console. Here's more information: 1. Uses of Tesla's USB ports. The USB ports in the car can be used for playing music from a USB drive, charging phones and MP3 players. Tesla's USB charging ports include both DC and AC interfaces - the DC port is compatible with Tesla Superchargers and third-party DC charging stations, while the AC port works with Tesla home chargers. 2. USB ports in the 2021 Model 3. The Model 3 has USB ports located below the rear air vents, on the front passenger side, and on the driver's side, totaling 4 ports. The two rear ports are USB-C, the front passenger side port is USB-A, and the driver's side port is USB-C.
When I first looked for the USB port in my Tesla, it was quite troublesome. Mine is a Model Y, and the USB port is located inside the center console. You just need to lift the lid to see the USB ports. Simply plug in the USB drive to store Sentry Mode videos for monitoring safety when parked. Remember to format the USB drive to FAT32, otherwise the system won’t recognize it. I’ve tried several USB drives, and the SanDisk 32GB one works quite reliably. To set it up, just tap a few times in the "Safety" menu on the touchscreen to activate it. A friend mentioned that in the Model S, it might be near the glove box, but in my Y, it’s in the center console. The advantage is that it’s hidden and less likely to be tampered with. I always check the USB drive’s capacity before getting in the car to ensure smooth recording. If it doesn’t respond, try switching ports or restarting the car’s system. It’s simple to use and helps protect the car.
