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.

Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45 in Singapore, but you can get it for $36 on Lazada’s Apple Flagship Store.

However, I got mine from Singtel Online Shop where the retail price is S$45. But I have a S$15 voucher as I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max from them. So, I ended up paying S$30.

The Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter retails on Lazada for S$7.49. It is a USB-A 3.0 male to USB-C 3.1 female adapter that supports QC3 charging (3A) and a maximum transfer rate of 5Gbps.

I bought it to convert a USB-C to USB-C cable to a USB-A to USB-C Cable.

Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable has only one length which is 1.2m and is available in two colors, Black and White. It retails for S$49. For some reason, Amazon.sg is selling the black one for only S$40. So I decided to get that.

I have an existing Lighting to 3.5mm audio cable, which is the Belkin 3.5mm Audio Cable With Lightning Connector. But it doesn’t work with my AirPods Max.

The official retail price of the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is S$45 and on Apple’s Employee Purchase Plan (EPP) it retails for S$40.66.

But you can get it at S$37 at Apple Authorised Resellers on Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon.sg. That is what I tried to do, except that it is out of stock on all the above mention platforms.

Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Switch is a single direction HDMI switch that takes in two inputs and gives you one output.

The standalone unit of Ugreen HDMI 2.1 Switch retails for S$29.99 on Lazada. Standalone, meaning it doesn’t come with any HDMI cables.

I have various HDMI cables from multiple gadgets, and I don’t even know what HDMI version they support. So I decided to standardize and future-proof all my HDMI cables at home to make them more uniform.

I opted for HDMI 2.1 because it supports all the latest standards, 8K@60 resolution, 48 Gbps bandwidth, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision, Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), etc.
