Switch Pro controllers worked for me. Xbox 360s didn’t agree with CT, although they did with other Teslas. Don’t ask me why, no idea.

I think Tesla recommended in the past using the PS5 controller.

My experience with the Xbox controller was that if you use it on a Windows 11 PC as well, it may get updated firmware during it's connection to the PC that makes it not compatible with Teslas anymore.

my sons' controller didn't connect because of Bluetooth classic (needed). I bought a Dualsense and it works just fine!

My setup is this...
I got this for the glove box to allow for more usb ports. Plug the memory stick for security into blue and other three can be used for Bluetooth controllers or whatever else you need. The one thing to not is that it might need a little tape to keep the usb plug and body perpendicular. It doesn't want to stay in line and the hub drops down into the tray of the glove box which makes it get caught on things in there. It's a minor fix.

For the controllers, I went with this one. We use Xbox at home so wanted something similar. You plug in the Bluetooth dongles into the USB hub and 2 controller can be used together. I went this way because the CT can only connect to 2 BT items at once, so for 2 people in the back to play, my phone has to not be connected. This way I can keep my phone connected and have2 play in the back. Both come with a charging cord that I plugged into the back.

And you still have a USB c slot in the glove for whatever else you want.

I wondered how to get 4 controllers to work. Now I just need to find a storage solution for 4 controllers.

I have 2 Jowua controllers that works well for competitive games with my friends on trips.
(Of course, remember to discount your cell phone Bluetooth before trying to connect the 2nd controller or it won’t work.)
