USB Hubs Compatibility Guide - BASED ON THE TESLA MODEL AND YEAR
Identifying ports
The USB ports on the Tesla Model 3 and Y vary depending on the model and year. To figure out which products are compatible with your Tesla, start by figuring out which ports it has.
A Model 3 manufactured in January 2020 may have entirely different ports than one manufactured in July of the same year.
To find the ports, follow these steps: The front ports are located under the phone dock area, which slides up to give access, on most Model 3 and Y phones manufactured before February 2021.
The ports in newer Model 3 and Ys made in or after 2021 are on the opposite side.
- Most Model 3's and Y's made before 2021 will have ports accessed by lifting the phone dock area.
- Most Model 3's and Y's made during or after 2021 will have ports at the opposite end of the phone dock area.
TESLA Model 3 (USB A Version) 2017-2020
Model 3s manufactured between 2017 and June 2020 are likely to have this feature.
Because this Model 3 has two USB A ports, we refer to it as the USB A variant.

- Model 3: Usually seen on Model 3s manufactured between June and December 2020.
- Model Y: Typically found in Model Ys manufactured between March 2020 and March 2021.
This is referred to as the USB A+C version as there is one USB A and one USB C port.
TESLA Model 3 / Y (USB C Version) 2021
- Model 3: Normally found in Model 3's made from January 2021 onwards.
- Model Y: Normally found in Model Y's made from February 2021 onwards.
This is referred to as the USB C version as there are two identical USB C ports at the front of the console.
