My Android (Samsung Note 8, Samsung S9) phone key lock have all stopped operating with my 2021 Tesla Model Y LR (over April). Maybe it was the last FSD update? Anyway, maybe 1 in 20 times the car does open. But most times, I need to use my key cards or Tesla App to open the car and start it.
Anyway, I took my car into Tesla service to look at it. The service rep said I needed to have my App open for it to work. I normally never had my Tesla App open. He was saying how I had to set it for background operation, but as far as I know, it can always operate in background should it need to. The service rep had me remove the phone key and reinstall it, and it only opened with the app open. He said to send bug reports after I get into the car about it not working, to collect some diagnostic info.
So just as a sanity check, does it work without the Tesla app open?
