Tesla phone mount with N52 magnets

A phone that slips out of view while you drive makes navigation harder to follow. This Tesla vent mount is designed to keep a compatible phone within sight and let you adjust its angle.

Its ball joint rotates 360°, so you can position the screen vertically or horizontally. That flexibility is useful when switching between a route view and other on-screen information.

The main catch is fitment: it is not listed as compatible with the new Tesla Model 3 Highland.

How to use it

Installation is described as a vent fit: insert the mount, push it to the left, then lock the knob. Once fitted, adjust the swivel joint to set a viewing angle that works for your seat and screen orientation. For instance, you could set a map upright before setting off, then turn the phone sideways when a landscape view is easier to read. Make adjustments while parked, not while driving.

The magnetic connection is intended for MagSafe-compatible iPhones, with the product listing naming the iPhone 12 through 17 series. Phones without MagSafe can use the included metal ring. That makes the mount more flexible than a holder that relies on a specific phone shape, but it also means non-MagSafe users need to attach the ring and check that its placement suits their phone or case. The listing does not provide case-specific guidance.

Pros

• A 360° swivel joint offers portrait and landscape positioning rather than a fixed viewing angle.
• N52 magnets are specified, with one-handed phone attachment and removal as the intended setup.
• The supplied metal ring is intended to extend use to phones without MagSafe.
• The instructions describe a quick vent installation, with a knob to lock the mount in place.

Compared with a basic fixed-angle holder, this design gives you more freedom to orient the display. That matters if you regularly use navigation and want to adjust the screen without repositioning the whole mount. The magnetic approach is also less dependent on fitting the phone between clamp arms, though it requires MagSafe or the included ring.

Spec sheet

• Type: Magnetic phone mount
• Mounting: Air vent, insert, push left and lock the knob
• Magnet: N52
• Adjustment: 360° rotation
• Vehicle fit: Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model X and Model S, not the new Model 3 Highland
• Phone fit: MagSafe-compatible phones, including the listed iPhone 12–17 series, one metal ring is included for phones without MagSafe

The listing does not give dimensions or explain how the mount behaves with different vent designs. Since installation depends on the vent, that detail is worth checking for your specific vehicle before choosing it. Its stated Tesla fit is broad, but the Highland exclusion is a clear reason not to assume every Model 3 is covered.

What I’d decide

It suits you if you drive one of the listed Tesla models, want an adjustable screen angle and prefer a magnetic mount to a conventional cradle. If your phone has MagSafe, the setup sounds straightforward, without it, the included ring is part of the decision, not an optional extra.

It is not for you if you have the new Model 3 Highland, need a mount confirmed for a particular vent shape, or want a holder that grips the phone without a magnetic connection. The N52 specification and easy-release design are useful on paper, but the listing gives no dimensions or case-fit details. I’d choose it for the swivel positioning and simple attachment only after confirming the vehicle fit and how you plan to use the ring.
