Have a weird one here. Need help from anyone with access to the latest MagSafe puck charger from Apple. This is the latest one that has the improved charging performance and the fabricky cable. Not the older rubbery one. I can't get the latest magsafe charger cable with the fabricky cable to work in the rear passenger outlet. It works in the center console outlet and the driver side rear usb c outlet. But will not work in the passenger rear usb c outlet. Can someone test this and confirm if it's just my truck or if you can duplicate this error? I've already been to service and they replaced the outlet and USB Hub and still have the smae issue.
The older style magsafe puck rubbery cable style WORKS which is bizzare to me.

This has happened to me. Some charging cords work on the right USB C in the back seat and some don't. All charging cords work on the left rear USB C. I just live with it, because it's rare. Usually, they both work fine. I remember someone posting the diagram showing the three USB C ports in the cabin actually have different wattages, so I figure it's due to that.

Thanks. Just making sure it's not my truck and rather all trucks. Odd that they are all different and that an official Apple product doesn't work on 1 of them.

I noticed my right USB port (in the rear) sometimes charges my laptop and other times it does not (works for days or weeks, then stops for a few days).
I was thinking that it was the cable, but this would explain it. Not sure why the intermittency is, though.

Ok. Further proof it's not me.

I literally went back and forth 3 times (hour round trip) to the Service Center to try and "fix" something that probably wasn't broken.

I wonder if it would help to use one of these - I have it installed, but I don't have the newer MagSafe puck to test. It plugs into both USB-C ports and replaces them with more accessible ports, and it looks OEM.

Although now that I look at it, it shows variable power based on specific ports:
