Well-made device, am I able to use dash cam and wireless charge pads at the same time.

I received the wireless charger mat for my model 3 and proceeded to inspect the box and contents. The presentation of the box was OK, and maybe it could have been a little bit more special, perhaps with black cardboard with a nice logo. Opening the box reveals the carefully wrapped charging mat and the USB splitter cables with some double-sided tape and instructions. The instructions are clear, indicating that the map must be installed a certain way, and if using the Y cables, noting the Y cables have different thicknesses, one for data and one for power. Using the supplied Y cables, I am able to charge my devices and use the dash cam and USB for data transfer. Although obvious, the instructions do not spell out how to use the provided double-sided tape. The wireless charging pad is made of high-quality plastic with no sharp edges and is properly put together. It seems to match the quality decor of the Tesla Model 3. The only thing I would change would be the quality of the light indicators. I would probably choose to have the lights of solid color white when charging, and then turn solid green when the charging is complete; with red as error. The selection of the color orange for the light seems like it is less fancy than it could be. I connected the cables to the car from the mat and proceeded to place my phone on the mat to make sure that both charging pads worked. They worked well. My phone was properly accepting power and charging at a reasonable rate. In general, I would recommend charging with a wire as it is always going to be much faster, but the convenience of using a wireless charging mat is evident if you are taking a long trip and do not need to hold your phone. The charging mat sat well replacing the rubber mat provided by Tesla and the only negative aspect to this is that the wireless charging mat has to be fixed in place with double-sided tape, which I am not a fan of. I would have liked some other mechanism, such as taking advantage of the four slots that are used by the rubber mat provided by Tesla. After installation, the console opened correctly without any issue and the only thing to note is that you lose the ability of routing cables to charge phones via wire, as you could do before. It would have been nice to keep that feature in case you have a passenger which wants to charge their phone via the wired dock, but I guess we can't have it all. Small note: If Tesla ever implemented Apple carplay, albeit unlikely, this wireless mat may be an issue because most Carplay systems require that the phone be wire-connected to the car to get power and data. In general, this is an excellent product with good design and craftsmanship, and I would recommend it if you are really needing this type of feature which Tesla left out of their premium sedan. On a side note, with apple recently canceling their wireless home charging mat, this move might spell the end of wireless charging for Apple phones in the future; which may limit the market for this wireless charging mat, unless you use Android.
