I loved it when it was working.
But, sadly after updating to the latest IOS it stopped working. Now I have to turn my phone on when I'm close to my car for it to unlock the car.
That's really the biggest issue with relying on a phone. The phone and it's OS is completely outside the control of Tesla. So the functionality can easily break.
The other thing I don't like about the phone based approach is summons. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with summons with a FOB, but sadly summons supposedly doesn't work with the fob yet. I have to wonder if Tesla didn't purposely make the Model 3 FOB a complete joke to try to push people to use their phones.
The other thing I liked about the FOB (when I had a Model S) is I could leave my car unlocked in the garage. I can't do that with the phone solution because I don't want to always have to use the app to lock the door.
