Doesn’t work properly
The mount part was great, but I couldn’t get the charger to work. Had it replaced and it still didn’t work. Disappointing because otherwise it was great. I still use it as a mount and use a cord to charge.

An amazing charger for the car that is super fast with just contact
This wireless charger mount charges much faster than my old wireless charger and now helps me keep my phone charged throughout the day just from my commute. The mount works well in my Ford Lightning display which is similar to the Tesla as well. The ability to charge at 25W really makes it faster than even plugging it in directly with a cable. This is very helpful for quick access and making sure it is always charging.
The magnet is quite strong and I have no concerns of the phone falling off at all. The maneuverability of the mount is quite robust and allows the phone to sit at whatever angle you want it to. You can adjust to the side of the monitor, all the way to the top as well with articulation for fine tuning the angle on the z axis.
The phone charges about 15-20% during my 15 minute commute which is huge to keep the charge up before and after work.

Coolest wireless charger design I've seen
I just gotta say that this is the coolest design for a wireless charger, looks kinda futuristic. Now how well does this work? Amazingly well and truly easy to use. It is adjustable, stable and much safer for everyone. I really like this charger.

Wow that light color ring is annoying
There is no way to turn this color light off. I don't even know why it has to have a light at all. I suppose it is to tell you it has power. But the light could have been something that momentarily turns on and then off as you place the phone on.
I'm a DIY'er and I'm going to find a way to take this apart and disable the light. I'll report back if I'm successful.
The good news is that this mount is identical to another one I have except for the magnet charging section. I'm talking it is identical down to the knobs and metal arm so it's generic in that sense. They only changed out the magnetic section. This type of mount holds well to the screen. The charging speed seemed adequate. Not terribly fast but not slow. Wirelessly charging is always slower than plugged in.
The supplied USB cable is braided and feels like quality.
See attached picture. This mount is not something you'll necessarily want to use every time you drive. Therefore the color ring is annoying.
