Completely disagree. My iPhone X has worked flawlessly since day 1. I've never had an issue. They NAILED it.
I disagree, and I've never had my phone fail to unlock. To open my frunk, I have to:
1. Pull my iPhone 6s+ out of my pocket
2. Unlock my phone with my thumbprint
3. Look at the phone to see my Tesla App in the shortcut bar and launch it.
4. Find the button to tap to unlock the frunk.
- OR -
1. When standing in line at the checkout, grab my big phone, unlock it, open the Tesla app.
2. Hold the big phone awkwardly while walking to the car, hoping the phone doesn't auto-lock itself
3. Look at the phone to find the button to unlock the frunk.
- OR -
1. Go to the car and open the door.
2. Lean in awkwardly or sit in the car.
3. Find the frunk unlock button and unlock it.
I'd much rather know that when I walk out of the store, I'm going to grab my fob from my pocket, which will be a lot smaller than my phone, and then I can just feel along the fob to find the right physical button to press, and then when I'm in range, press the button. That to me would be better.
(Or they could have put a physical button on the frunk itself like on the trunk so that I could press it to unlock. Then I wouldn't really have an issue.)
But all of that said, my wife does not have a smart phone, and more to the point, does not WANT one. And the keycard is just crap. It's perfectly reasonable to have a keycard as a backup. Probably better than a key. But not for primary use. Tesla has just assumed that "everyone has a smart phone". But lots of people still don't.
