No. S/X have fobs and 3/Y have key cards. I'd bet that a good number of owners don't always carry them around though.

- martythemaniak 6y agoPretty silly not to. You can always break or lose your phone.
- root_axis 6y agoor even more likely: the battery dies.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoWell, you could also loose your keys. A lot of newer tech products seem intended to move us to a place where we don't need to carry separate wallets/keys alongside our phones. That's a reasonable goal. Look at how popular credit card phone cases are!
- cjsawyer 6y agoI would never, ever, rely on just my phone battery for access to my car.
- colinmhayes 6y agoOk but other people might?

- bdamm 6y agoOther people might decide to hang a weight on the steering wheel and go to sleep while driving at 90mph[1]. That doesn't make it a good idea.

- colinmhayes 6y agoOk but the question isn't whether it's a good idea. The question is how much it harms tesla owners. It sounds like this might significantly disrupt people who only use their phone and I wouldn't be surprised if a decent number of people made that(poor) decision.
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoI love my credit card case. It fits three cards and doesn’t feel bulky. It says “silk” on the back so that must be the brand.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI edited that part out, you're right their are some relatively nice ones! But, it would be comparatively slimmer without the cards!
- pwagland 6y agoS/X drivers will, since they can't use the phone as a key anyway. And unlocking the car through the app is extremely slow and cumbersome compared to the app (IMO).
- sbalea 6y agoYou can buy fobs for 3/Y, for extra $$$
- cptskippy 6y agoHonda wanted to charge me $250 for a lasercut chipped butterfly farts covered key when I bought a car that only came with one. Tesla sells the fob for $150 which is normal for car keys. It sells the keycard for $25 which is only $5 more than my office charged to replace a lost access badge.
