I recently had a recall performed on my 2021 GT and received as a gift from Ford the upgraded charging mat.
I am about to return my car and replace it with a 2024 GT and was curious if anyone knows - does that car already come with the better mat? Or should I be saving this one to replace what comes in the 2024?

The mat was replaced in 2023, maybe late 2022.

I also had the high voltage replacement recall done on my car and received the new phone mat. I find that the new mat does not charge my iPhone 15 pro as good as the old mat

I have a (Now) week old 24 premium. The mat in my car keeps the phone nice and warm for my hand, but doesn’t seem to charge it.

With the new iPhones, the mat really isn’t the problem. It’s the camera bulge. I have several Qi chargers that worked great until I got a camera bump phone. Then I started experiencing the same heating up and slow charge rate issues people have been complaining about in their cars. I have thrown out my chargers in my computer room and at work and replaced them with smaller MagSafe chargers. No more issues. I’m thinking of making a camera bump cutout in my charging mat to see if charging becomes reasonable again in my car but since I have a MagSafe in the car I really don’t care to try. Maybe some day. ?‍♂?

I got my GT yesterday and it seems to be doing the same thing
