A $175.00 Mistake

[Beasts]

So I set my key Fob down, just for a minute, and then forgot about it. The photograph below shows what happened when our dog found his new "toy". Will he ever stop chewing on anything and everything he can fit his teeth around?!?!

That is destroyed. The dog is training you what not to do the hard way. Poor pup.

Would have been fun to watch your rear tailgate opening and closing in the driveway.

Lorax,
He did manage to pop the frunk and trunk open and we initially couldn't figure out how that happened. Took a while to realize he did that from inside the house! I always thought that you had to have the Fob within inches of the frunk or trunk to make it work.

You have a $175 story to tell at least. The key fob works much farther than a few inches. I'd say a good 20 feet or more.

WAIT

it’s not lost. I would guess the board/mechanics on the inside came out unharmed.
Tesla sells a replacement fob shell kit for 50$ AFAIK.

Talk to them and report back please.

Thanks

My dog (when a pup) dug through a box of camping gear, located our satellite phone, and turned it into a chew toy.

Way beyond "that will buff out"

And the Fob is only a small part of the damage this Beast has caused! He is the most Alpha dog we have ever had. He is constantly challenging us. He's getting better and, hopefully, he will soon relax and enjoy just being part of the pack.

OUCH!
It's uncanny how a pup goes for a thing of either monetary or sentimental value.
It's part of their bonding process - chew your glasses, your jewelry, your boots, your electronics which all have your scent. So don't be mad - your dog's most outrageous acts are acts of love... "arf!"
