Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W Cable
Tesla Model 3 Highland has a wireless charging pad that allows you to charge two Qi devices simultaneously up to 15W. I felt my phone produces more heat when charging this way than when charging via MagSafe. Also, 15W wireless charging is slow, considering most of my drives within Singapore are a maximum of 30 minutes.
There is another USB-C port in the Tesla Model 3 Highland located in the center console’s rear compartment, which is accessible to both the driver and the front passenger. The other two USB-C ports are meant for the backseat passengers. In total, the Tesla Model 3 Highland has three USB-C ports that can output a maximum of 65W.
Since only one USB-C port exists in front, the driver and front passenger sometimes need to charge their phone quickly.
And that is where the Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W Cable comes in.
The usual retail price on Shopee and Lazada is S$34.99. Sometimes, during sales day, it will drop to S$29.29.
The cable itself weighs 55g. Officially, the cable length is stated to be 122cm, but its end-to-end measures about 133cm.
From the 2-in-1 end to the PCB, it measures 34cm.
From the PCB to the input USB-C port, it measures 93.5cm.
The casing holding the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) measures 5.5cm.
This cable is future-proof as it supports up to 140W. With the cable being braided, it will be able to last longer as well. The only question is whether the rubber coating on the USB-C port end will become sticky or disintegrate over time due to Singapore’s weather, as sometimes the car might be parked under the sun.
Overall, this cable is still a good fit for users with a hard constraint of one USB-C port and needing to charge two devices together.
