The News: Tesla has launched its 4-in-1 USB-C Hub for Model 3 and Model Y in the U.S., priced at $85 β previously only available to Canadian buyers.
Why It Matters: Newer Model 3 and Model Y interiors ship with fewer USB-A ports. This hub turns a single USB-C slot in the center console into four USB-C charging points β no aftermarket workarounds needed.

π What Changed
| Detail | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Availability | Not available | Available on Tesla Shop |
| U.S. Price | N/A | $85 USD |
| Canadian Price | $120 CAD | $120 CAD (unchanged) |
| Console Ports | 1 USB-C port in use | 4 USB-C ports available |
| Compatible Models | β | Model 3 (2024+), Model Y (2025+) |
βοΈ What You're Actually Getting
Tesla's official description says it best: "Same console, more charging ports." The hub plugs into the existing USB-C port in the center console and expands it into four separate USB-C outputs. There's no drilling, no cable management headaches, and no permanent modifications β it's plug-and-play.
The power delivery is intelligently distributed depending on how many ports are active:
β‘ Power Delivery Breakdown
| Ports in Use | Power Available |
|---|---|
| 1 port | Up to 60W |
| 2 ports | 30W each |
| 3 ports | 54W shared |
| 4 ports | 48W shared |
Hub input: 65W total. Power is dynamically allocated across active ports.
That 60W single-port output is enough to fast-charge most modern smartphones and even some laptops. With four ports running simultaneously, 48W shared is still respectable β roughly 12W per port on average, which keeps phones topped up on longer drives without issue.
π¦ Owner's Action Plan
Verdict: RECOMMENDED β if you own a compatible model and regularly charge multiple devices
- Check your model year first. This hub is designed for Model 3 built in 2024 or later and Model Y built in 2025 or later. Earlier builds have a different center console layout and this hub will not fit correctly. If you're unsure of your build date, check the driver-side door jamb sticker or your Tesla app under vehicle details.
- Head to the Tesla Shop. Search "4-in-1 USB-C Hub" on tesla.com/shop. The listing should be live now. Price: $85 USD.
- Installation is plug-and-play. No tools required. Seat the hub into the center console USB-C port and it locks into place. Tesla designed it to sit flush with the console surface.
- Prioritize your ports smartly. For the fastest charge on a single device, plug into the hub alone with other ports empty β you'll get the full 60W output. If you're charging four devices at once, expect roughly 10-12W per port depending on device draw.
- Not compatible with your year? Hold off β this is an official Tesla accessory, so if demand is strong in the U.S., it's reasonable to expect Tesla may expand compatibility or release a variant for earlier consoles in the future.
π° Deep Dive
The timing of this U.S. launch makes sense. Both the refreshed Model 3 Highland (U.S. deliveries began in 2024) and the Model Y Juniper (2025) shipped with redesigned interiors that leaned heavily into USB-C β dropping the older USB-A ports that many owners had relied on for years. That transition left some owners scrambling for adapters and hubs, often turning to third-party solutions of varying quality.
Tesla offering its own first-party hub closes that gap cleanly. The design is purpose-built for the specific console geometry of these newer models, which means no wobble, no loose fit, and no aesthetic compromise β something generic hubs rarely achieve. At $85, it sits at a premium compared to off-the-shelf USB-C hubs, but the integrated fit and Tesla's dynamic power allocation logic justify the price for owners who want a clean, OEM-quality solution.
The Canadian rollout served as a quiet beta of sorts. With no reported issues surfacing since that launch, Tesla's confidence in bringing it stateside is well-founded. U.S. owners who've been waiting β or who didn't know this product existed β now have a straightforward upgrade path. If you regularly travel with passengers who all need to charge, four USB-C ports in the center console is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement over the stock single-port setup.
