You always aim to please! Thank you so much for finding the solutions to every situation possible.

Can you put the original cover piece back on with your solution?

[@EveryAmp]

Sure, there are no permanent changes to the car. If you're asking if the stock cover works with the spacer, no, the stock cover is too tall and hits the lid.

[@Darrenhd2]

@@EveryAmp Thanks yes that was my question if you can put the stock cover back on.

I also have a Supertank Pro battery pack. Best specs on the market. But here’s my question: how does it stay fully charged in your setup? My understanding is the front USB ports only provide 7.5w of power. If my iPhone 12 charges at 15w, but the Supertank can only pass thru recharge at 7.5w, won’t it eventually deplete? The Supertank shouldn’t draw power while my car is asleep (at least I hope not). If my car is plugged in to charge overnight, is that when the Supertank recharges?

[@thegasguru]

By the way, very clever and innovative way to provide fast charging, additional porch, and more charging options on one solution. Very nice!

[@EveryAmp]

The front USB-C actually provides 27W for the Supertank so there's that. Also, the ports are active anytime the car is on, the car is charging, or Sentry mode is on, so yes, there's plenty of opportunity to charge the battery and keep it charged.

@@EveryAmp The front USB seaport provides 27W? So if I don’t need extra porch, and I just want to charge my iPhone 12 at the maximum 15 W speed, can I simply install a Jeda v3 wireless charging pad and be done with it? Is there someway I can confirm that I’m actually getting 15 W of charging speed to my iPhone 12 with the Jeda V3?

[@EveryAmp]

Wireless is tricky to measure. You can use a USB power monitor on the cable, but that really just tells you what's going into the charger, not what's actually going into the phone. I've used a power monitor app on Android that worked fine, but I don't use Apple, so I'm not sure if there's a comparable app for iPhones.

Why do KZbinrs keep changing their names?!!!!

[@EveryAmp]

In our case, we were running into trademark issues with having Tesla in the name.

[@Resist4]

@@EveryAmp So Tesla really made it an issue? I find that hard to believe.

[@EveryAmp]

Not Tesla, thankfully, but other companies were refusing to work with us. We've had sticker and T-shirt companies refuse to make our stuff and most recently Twitter stopped letting us run ads for our store. The final nail was when we were forming a corporation and we couldn't use that name because it was too close to Tesla's trademark.

[@Resist4]

@@EveryAmp that's odd because there are other companies like Elon Accessories that sells Tesla products and are allowed to continue, even though their name is a direct reflection to Elon Musk.

[@EveryAmp]

I don't know if Elon has his name trademarked or if that's even possible, but I doubt it. I do know that TeslaBros changed their name to TesBros for a similar reason to us. In any case, it's all fun and games until you get busted. The more we grow the more it was going to hurt to change, so time to rip that bandaid off.

Oops the bell just rang. Recess is over.
