This is why you should buy a car made by a car company, not by a tech company.
Eg: my car has two separate keyless methods (BT & nfc) implemented in the same keyfob, and if need be, it can also be physically inserted into a special hole (we call them keyholes) to physically unlock the car even if both car and key have no power!
People could actually die of exposure if locked out of their cars in some climates. This is not a joke!
- sixQuarks 7y agoTesla’s do come with a key, it’s a card that you’re supposed to carry with you and it always works. The phone app is a convenience feature. Although it works flawlessly 99% of the time, you should not rely solely on it

- xedeon 7y agoSo much ignorance in this post. You do realize Tesla engineers and designers all came fro other car manufacturers right? Even down do the audio folks who came from Bang & Olufsen.
