I want to order two game controllers for my truck. Was going to pick up two of these. Do I need the receivers?

Is there anything I should look out for?

You do not need receivers. You should be able to pair it in the bluetooth screen. (At least in X you don't. If it doesn't work without receivers, that's probably something they're going to fix)

I can't remember off the top of my head, but there's a specific bluetooth protocol these need to use to work properly. Like my old X-Box controllers work, but the new ones don't. So I'd recommend looking at what that is and making sure these use that.

Keep in mind you can only have two Bluetooth devices connected at the same time, including your phone. So if you have your phone connected (necessary for the phone key), you only have one device left for controller duty.

I'm not sure if this will fix it for you, but try double-tapping the sync button on the Xbox controller and then try to pair it again. The newer ones support the proprietary Xbox protocol (default), as well as standard Bluetooth which everyone else uses; double-tapping the sync button switches between the two modes.

So maybe I need to get a cord for one of the two controllers? Where can you plug in the 2nd controller assuming that the bluetooth spots will be filled up?

Yep and some reviews show it worked with Teslas:

Really? You trust the reviews?
I find it interesting how many products are linked to a single set of reviews.
For example, on something that may be rated at 5 gallons, to see a review "I got the 3-gallon version"

What if you pair your phone and game controller to the Tesla and then get your second controller with a Bluetooth receiver? Couldn't you plug this into a USB-C port with adapter and essentially have 3 devices connected to the CT?
