If you love your Tesla, chances are you are also into technology. Newer tech is normally great, but sometimes it can be annoying to adopt newer standards. When what you have works well, but you are forced to update the hardware, this can be irritating. In the newer Tesla models, they have moved to type C USB connectors in the center console. If you have an older USB stick, SSD, or game controller that uses a USB type A connector, you could not use them.
That is until now. The vendor TPARTS has introduced a USB charging hub that plugs into the two USB type C ports and provides one type C port and three type A ports. Two of the USB type A ports support data communication as long as your Tesla has data communication in the center console. If you don’t use USB type C other than for charging and you want USB type A connectors in your Tesla, check out my video review on the TPARTS PD Fast Charging USB Hub.
