- greglindahl 7y agoIt's as if price and cost are different! Subaru wanted to charge me too much to replace a fob, last time I asked.
- internet_user 7y agoThe price of bank cards to users is blended into the product, however, some charge a low single dollar digits for frequent replacements. It's not at all unexpected a key card for a Tesla would be low. Seems to be $25, which is much cheaper than most remote keys. https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-key-card https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-key-card
- odensc 7y agoThat's for two cards as well, so only ~$12/ea. Pretty reasonable.
- Kirby64 7y agoNot identical security method though. This is over bluetooth and has way more electronics in it than a chip-and-pin card. By comparison, the NFC-based 'Keycards' that the Tesla Model 3 has can be replaced for $6 each.
