I don't own a Tesla, but I hope that you have to unlock your phone to be able to unlock your car? If you left your phone in the bathroom...it should be locked.

I don't own a Tesla, but I hope that you have to unlock your phone to be able to unlock your car? If you left your phone in the bathroom...it should be locked. If it's not locked, then you're going to have bigger issues like someone having access to your e-mail and ability to reset bank passwords, etc... Additionally, if you can disable your phone key remotely using someone else's phone...technically, a hacker who has phished your credentials can also disable your phone key? Scary.

> I hope that you have to unlock your phone to be able to unlock your car? Nope. Is that really any different from someone finding your car keys? These days, with every car including a remote, if someone did find your key fob, they could press the panic button on it as they strolled around the parking lot to easily find your car. At least with the Tesla phone key, they'd still have to walk around and try to open up every Tesla on the lot, unless they were able to unlock your phone.

  It's not that different. But for a company that's trying to be better than a traditional car, maybe it should be? If you need to unlock your phone before unlocking your car, then you don't need to be able to revoke your key remotely.
