Wireless charging on 2021 G63 ?

Hello
Just picked up my 2021 G63 yesterday, attached are the pictures, amazing car. But any new owners know where is the wireless charging located in the car? I cannot find it. I remember it is standard for all 2021 model. Thanks

Sexual Color Combo. I also didn't find it anywhere while driving back home. I'm going back on Tuesday to be given the presentation on the vehicle. I'll remember to ask the gentleman.

I don't have wireless charging on my 2019 G, but do have it on my 2017 Lexus. However, ithe Lexus charger seems not to work because my phone is in a protective case that adds about 4mm separation between the phone and the charging surface. I'm interested in knowing how well the G's charger works and if your phone(s) are in a case. How long does it take to fully charge?

Wireless charging is only for few markets for some reason, I think. Not in US spec vehicles and I wonder why ..

even my 2020 G63 has wireless charging instructions in the manual though its not available in the ‘20’s. now its only available in some markets for the 2021’s? so odd.

Picked up my g63 yesterday. Manual says wireless charger is in the center console under the clam shell center arm rest but that there should be a net to secure the phone while using charger. Mine has no net. My salesmen didn’t know much of the wireless charger and said he would get back to me.

What a joke that it's in the manual and not even available. Poor communication around $150k+ vehicle.

Confirming the above, No Wireless Charging on US / Canada Spec 2021 G63 AMG. Also Apple Car Play is not Wireless either and it's gotta be connected via Cable.

Wireless charging is standard on the US 2021 G 63.

What's the deal then? Did the factory forget to install these features?

If it's not there that definitely seems like a mistake. Does it show up on your order/spec sheet?
May also want to email MBUSA. They may be able to clarify: mercedes_benz@mailca.custhelp.com

I think MB outsourced the owner's manual production to a Rastafarian living in the Falklands. It's mostly errors, typos, and useless information, and lacks even basic service and maintenance information. You would think that the world's "best car company" could do better -- the owner's manual could be condensed onto a Post-It note, "CAUTION", "WARNING", and "See Your Authorized MB Service Department". MB assumes nobody RTFM.
There are cup-holder smartphone mounts with integral wireless charging. I'd prefer this to an in-the-console location as it keeps the phone within reach.

If you want to go prospecting for this and own a cordless toothbrush (Sonicare or similar) try the following. First, stand the toothbrush on your wireless charger on your desk. You should see the toothbrush charging light(s) pulse on about once per second. Then use the toothbrush to probe around the console area where the wireless charger is supposed to be. No pulsing light = no charger.
