What benefit do you get over using your phone?

Every Tesla owner has a cell phone that they can pair their keycard to. What's the benefit of this? Seems like a big waste of money.

My pops is older and rarely uses his phone so this is perfect for him. He's not used to the keycard so I'm trying to keep it as easy as possible.

Appreciate y'all thoughts but kindly don't thread crap if this isn't for you

It allows a new vector of attack to steal your vehicle. People are using signal boosters to amplify your real fob from within your house, to unlock and drive cars in the driveway. Not sure if Tesla is susceptible to this currently, but why bother with this?

Also, add PIN to drive.

Relay attacks are real - it's a valid comment, this type of fob would open you up to that potentially

Occasionally, my car doesn't recognize my phone when I get near it, and I have to pull out my phone and open up the Tesla app to refresh it. Or pull out my wallet to get my key card. Not a big deal, but it's definitely annoying when I'm just standing there for 10 seconds trying to push on my door handle, and I can't even get into my own car.

On my phone I had to tell it to never allow the operating system to put the Tesla app to sleep. Zero issues after that.

The system sees that I rarely load it up directly, and decides it can save resources by not letting it run in the background at all times. Logical, but then your car won't see you.

sure wish I could get a key made for my car for $175. Those bastards at Audi charge $600+ for physical key plus programming. Nobody can get around it either Frown

android. With samsung, they optimize the apps based on usage, and tesla app sleeping is a problem.

Oh I know it's real, I just.. well, I guess we all live in different places. That type of crime doesn't happen around here -- it registers as a movie plot instead.

I withdraw my sarcastic comment.
