Not sure if anybody else has had this issue, but the placement of the phone holder is directly underneath the top of the windshield, so mid-day when the sun is right above it is beaming right down at my phone screen and causing my phone to overheat similar to how leaving your phone face up at the beach will do. This has happened to me twice in the past week! Never happened with our Model X because the phone holder is kind of under the dashboard so it's always shady there. Has anybody else had this problem?

I think it happens to all wireless chargers exposed to the sun
Yeah, come to think of it I had this problem in my 2017 Yukon which had a wireless charger on the console armrest surface, and it was directly below the sunroof. At least with the sunroof there was a shade to pull closed, but no such option with the CT windshield
