Nomad has two different Gen?
They look the same but the first gen has an internal battery and the second gen does not.Nomad has two different Gen?
This looks really nice and the trap compartment for the TeslaCam USB is a nice touch. I'm curious what happens to the wattage with 3-4 devices charging out of it. I sent them a message asking.And they just released a new product today
you may mislead others. 7.5w doesn't mean fast charge. To fast charge, the output voltage needs to be more than 9V. And the front port output is only 5v. They may remove the battery for some other reason.They look the same but the first gen has an internal battery and the second gen does not.
The explanation was that the battery was necessary to achieve 7.5w as the front side USB were initially deficient in power. Oddly enough by the time the NOMAD hit the market the front USB had already been upgraded to 7.5w output so the battery was technically never necessary.
I never mentioned the term fast charge, just passed along exactly what NOMAD said to me which was that the battery was in place to ensure 7.5W was delivered. Their product only supports a max of 7.5W. At the time they designed the product the Model 3 was only providing 5W from the front side USB, so its clear they made the decision on the battery and subsequently why they removed it since it wasn't actually necessary.you may mislead others. 7.5w doesn't mean fast charge.

Tesla dropped their own, but it doesn't look as nice and costs more. It's also out of stock which means people weren't in the know.Jeda 2.0 is soooooooooooo much nicer. The Jeda is so sweet Tesla should source it as OEM.
I think it's out of stock because it was way overpriced and they will probably introduce a new version 2.0 for $79Tesla dropped their own, but it doesn't look as nice and costs more. It's also out of stock which means people weren't in the know.

I'm one of those weirdos that likes OEM parts whenever possible which is why I sprung for the extra amount. I'm struggling with it a bit though because I ran some fast charger usb-c to lighting cables to the front earlier and decided it was time to go the wireless charging route. As I guessed, other than on longer drives, it's all but useless with an iPhone. It doesn't charge fast enough to add significant charge on a 10-15 minute drive while the fast charger pulling 18w from the center console car charger. I may sell my Tesla wireless charger...It's not a bad price for OEM. Tesla have started to blame some of the random screen reboots on having 3rd-party accessories plugged into the USB ports, so if nothing else, this means they can't do that.
They're out of stock because they always seem to do a really, really bad job of stock management and demand estimating.
The iPhone is limited to 7.5W wireless and the Tesla OEM pad actually doesn't specify (unless I missed it) what it supports. I know NOMAD is limited to 7.5W and Jeda is 15W.I'm one of those weirdos that likes OEM parts whenever possible which is why I sprung for the extra amount.

Yeah I actually wrote Tesla to ask about their wireless charge pad wattage but I purchased anyways as soon as it went on sale because I've been waiting for an OEM pad. With the iPhone being limited to 7.5W, it just isn't significant enough charging for the majority of my driving which is on the shorter end. The 20W USB-C to Lightning I have hidden in the side trim of the center console charges a significant amount even when only plugged in for 10-15 minutes.The iPhone is limited to 7.5W wireless and the Tesla OEM pad actually doesn't specify (unless I missed it) what it supports.

I hear you - hoping for faster wireless charging in iPhone 11 for sure.Yeah I actually wrote Tesla to ask about their wireless charge pad wattage but I purchased anyways as soon as it went on sale because I've been waiting for an OEM pad.
