Sure, but that doesn't make it an invalid criticism of Tesla's design choices. Plus, every component in the Model 3 is far more centered around budgetary concerns and will simply be driven by far more people, so this problem is entirely likely to be worse on the 3 than previous vehicles. Any other car at this price point (or really most any other car) would have some physical key, and it's not automatically a reason to hail the car as visionary design.
- greglindahl 9y agoI've gotten non-Tesla rental cars that didn't have a physical key, so there's that.
- mustacheemperor 9y agoAre you positive? I believe there are other high end vehicles that don't have one, but in my experience even fobs that look like they can't possibly contain a physical key have one hidden inside somehow. Even if it can't start the car it can at least open a door.
- jonknee 9y agoWhat did they give you to start the car?
- mustacheemperor 9y agoLots of car fobs are just wireless transponders to authorize the remote start now, it's how those hacks to steal a BMW with a laptop work. But those fobs usually still have a real key inside.
