I have been trying to find a compatible game controller for my 2022 MY, I have read many threads/articles and watched many youtube videos, and I have so far tried most of the controllers which people claimed to be working in their Model Y or Model 3, but none had worked for me, I just wonder if any of you have got any game controllers to work with your MY or M3? Here are the ones I have tried but had no luck with:

I think that it's not so much about saving costs. This time it's more about the chip shortage. BTW, I use Logitech F310 gamepad with my 2022 MYP and it works fine (I use Anker USB Hub connected to USB A in the glovebox).

I'm still unclear on this one... I tried USB-C to USB-C with the standard Xbox One controller and it didn't work.
I'm able to use an ancient wired Xbox 360 controller with the Xbox --> USB-A dongle cable in the glovebox successfully in my MYP.

Ugh. Just learned our new MYP is one of the hampered cars now where the only data USB plug is the one in the glovebox, and the USB-C throughout the car are for charging only.
In other words... it's likely a lot of people's USB-C ports will work in a way ours didn't with the other controllers we tried.

unsure about wired Xbox one controller, didn’t remember the making them. But this cable works wired with the wireless Xbox one controller to center console.

The Xbox controllers for the past many years have a USB-C port on them; you can use that with the Tesla just fine.
Confirmed today in our 2022 MYP - *glovebox* USB-A connection:
And re-confirmed, our USB-C ports throughout the car are charging only, as indicated in other threads, as a more recent change since November for M3 and MY.

Hi, same issue and I confirm only data passthrough via USB-a on the glovebox. (M3 LR 2022).
But I haven't Sonir or CupHead on my arcade games: is it possibile that on this model they've been removed on purpose??

Yes, this is confirmed. On the cars with only data on the glovebox they don't ship the game controller-only games.
Somewhere else someone had a text message thread with a service center about this who offered lukewarm "maybe there will be a retrofit" or "maybe they will end up shipping the games".
Hi,
It seems like your 2022 Model Y don't have the data transmission function at the console ports due to Tesla chip shortage! You may find more discussion here:
2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only
Oh, damn, you got it pretty fast. Did you order before they went on backorder?

Also, it seems like our wireless game controller will be a good fit for your Tesla Model Y once you have the data transmission module installed. You may find more about our wireless game controller here:

I went with the PowerA wired controllers because I didn't want to have to deal with changing out batteries from time to time. I have a setup video below with links to the products in the description:

I have a model y 2022. Removed OEM power only usb-c module and swapped in a TParts center console usb-c data module so I have two data/power capable usb-c ports. Got some usc-c to usb-a converters and plugged a powerA controller in each.

Im plugging mine right into the glovebox and its not working at all. Are there any settings or should it be plug and play?
