BIGW0RM One's mobile phone is their most used tool. No? Personally, I wanted somewhere easily accessible to place it and I prefer the cup holder cover closed (looks cleaner).

The dedicated space would have been great if the "charging" feature didn't actually result in draining battery and overheating. I built/ordered my 3 without it, but got a great deal on someone else's build before I got an allocation and it had the shyt wireless charger. Even then, I want to (or have the passenger) be able to access/utilize my pocket computer with ease.

Sometimes the idrive system ducks up thus phone use is necessary (eg calls and navigation). Sometimes it's easier to browse music on the phone as opposed to natively on the car, which I typically have a passenger do (thus ease of access and my own viability of their choices).

Tesla designed their dedicated phone spot very well. I hope every other automaker follows suit.
