No. I’m getting 15w with the oem Puck. But the ESR unit is limited to 7.5w. Which if t keeps the phone charging is fine for me.

What are you using for power source, you have a 20W or better charger with right voltage/amps that works in the car for 15W? If so which one ?

I've got it plugged into: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G1MS6JW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

An Aukey 30w flush-fit USB-C car charger with USB-C 3.0 that supports the PPS protocol. I haven't measured it, but I'm confident it will deliver the full 15w required. This is near-identical to the setup I used at my nightstand where I DID measure a 15W peak output.

I'm building my own MagSafe car mount with parts from RAM Mounts

My dashboard has a flat panel for the suction cup mount... and I'll attach the MagSafe puck to the circular plate.

The MagSafe puck feels very strong when attached to the MagSafe Silicone case... so hopefully it will be strong enough to handle bumpy roads. We'll see!

I was thinking of doing this and somehow mounting the magsafe puck to the existing ram mount emblem. I drilled a hole a while a go to secure the mount.

Is the ESR HaloLock a stronger hold than the Magsafe puck itself? Till they come out with a fully Magsafe compatible 15w charger, I was just gonna use my puck taped to the dash. Time will tell how well the phone holds.

How are the first impressions? Does the MagSafe puck hold the phone firmly enough, especially around turns and quick movements?

I'd definitely like it to be a stronger bond, but thus far I've not managed to dislodge it despite my best attempts.

I am getting my Belkin MagSafe Car Mount tomorrow. I am pretty excited about it. I don`t need a charger. Also my current Holder does not include Charging capabilities. I want to be able to charge it only when I want to.

How is everyone getting them so quick :( I ordered at 8:03am the morning that it went live at 8:00 am, and my hasn't even transitioned to preparing to ship :(
 
I don’t need the car mount for awhile, so I’m going to hold out for something like the Belkin but includes charging. USB c plug into mount and low profile would be perfection to me
