Any vehicles with ready-made 12V taps at the rear view mirror?

Ford was thinking about customer flexibility when they made 12V power points available at the back of the Maverick bed. But many people struggle with getting a good 12V power point at the rear view mirror location to provide power to a dash cam or similar power need (such as a DIY auto-dim mirror, radar detector, etc.) Are there any vehicles currently made that have ready-made power taps at the rear view mirror location that are designed for owner power taps with a minimum of fuss and cover removals?

S650 Mustang Premiums have USB power ports at the mirror. I'd expect their "full-size" trucks and SUVs to have them too.

It seems like the Maverick is intentionally 3-5 years behind the curve on many tech features.

I was considering wiring my own usb port by tapping into the ceiling lights.
