Center Console
In addition to housing an RFID transmitter that

holders, two storage compartments, and a
phone dock for two phones (or other devices).

compartment, push its cover down gently.
USB Ports
Model Y has two USB 2.0 ports located in the
front compartment of the center console. The
left USB port is USB-C compatible. These
ports can be used to connect and charge your
phone (see Installing Phone Charging Cable
on page 24), save videos when using features
such as Sentry Mode or Dashcam, or play
audio files stored on a phone or USB device
(see Playing Media from Devices on page
136).
Open the center console door below the
touchscreen and lift the phone dock upward

Two additional USB-C ports are located in the
rear of the center console. Passengers in the
