A woman went viral on TikTok after revealing that she only discovered a feature in her Chevrolet Malibu five years after purchasing it.
Hayley Simone shared her discovery in a video that has already amassed over 5 million views. In the clip, she explained that she bought her Chevy in 2020 but only read the manuals this year.
Simone started by filming the center console of her 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, showing the two front cup holders and the gear shift. Then, she focused on a small recessed compartment below the gear shift and cup holders and above the front storage compartment/armrest.
“This thing here, did you know it’s a wireless charger?” she commented before showing the Malibu’s owner manual. In the booklet, she highlighted a section explaining that “the wireless charging system is located in a pocket beneath the armrest console.”
“I took some time to read that during my break. I’m pretty sure I’ve argued before about forgetting a charger at home while road-tripping with my boyfriend,” Simone said.
“And we had to stop and buy a $20 charger… And on top of that, we had a wireless charger here the whole time? Wow. I feel so dumb. Read the manuals.”
“Why aren’t things better labeled?” asked one TikTok user. “Not me using [that space] for my coins,” admitted another. “I’ve been ‘charging’ my loose change,” joked a third internet user.
