TLDR;
No alignment standard/specification exists for Qi2.
Magsafe and Qi2 charge using the same power specifications.
This issue exists on any device where the inductive charging coil does not align with Tesla's placement. Coil alignment from the bottom of the phone is the issue here, it is why...
Oh, that’s just an apple issue? Oh wait… nope, the coils are placed differently on phones due to the design, such as size, shape, camera placement, etc,
Again, it’s not an Apple issue. People have issues with many android phones in their Model 3s, the Pixel 7 is notably inconsistent.

Uh… MagSafe is Qi/Qi2. The charging itself is no different from a technical standpoint. Nothing about it being MagSafe or Apple is the reason it’s overheating in the CT.
The difference will be negligible, similar to removing the mirrors. All the testing done in wind tunnels has shown nearly no difference in drag coefficient.
He wasn’t cut off, that car was merging right but had to stop halfway due to traffic.
Truck driver played it safe and stopped instead of trying to squeeze by the car.
OP here should have been watching the road, it’s ridiculous to blame anything but the driver at this point, software is no excuse...
I currently use the Nema 10-30 overnight running at 22A instead of 24A and get about 12mi of charge per hour. Works well enough for me day to day.
Waiting until I move next year before getting the Wall Connector.
