Ditch the extra key fob

[cclaygo]

Ive noticed that our model S gets confused with auto present and unlocking if both my wife and I are approaching the car and we each have a fob on us.

Oh, and I've created a driver profile that I call "garage" which I select after parking it. On my garage profile I disabled auto present and auto lock, so I can walk about my garage at will without having my car present and lock and present yet again...

That's a great idea!!

Lot's of great ideas on this thread actually!

With regards to 2 FOBs approaching the car, I can't think of any other solution other than to appoint a primary and secondary fob. That way if 2 fobs are detected, the primary takes precedence and the other is ignored.

Primary should be whichever it sees first. I'm worried about this issue a bit as our current car keys always sit at the bottom of my wife's purse or in a bowl about 12 feet from garage. I'm hoping this is not as big an issue as it seems.

That's another good suggestion.

The other weird trait my car has is my spoiler refuses to stay locked down during rest periods for more than a few minutes and it's right back up again.

Same here! It does stay down once in a while, but not usually. I can't figure it out.

Is this with your Model S? I tried it will our Model X and it doesn't remember the setting with the profile.

Whenever my wife puts the fob in her purse and rides with me, I always experience these random issues. Now she keeps the fob at home, and she is not too happy about that. But I am!

Why not buy her a Faraday bag for her fob, then she can still keep it in her purse.

Yes this is with my model S. I am surprised that the UI on this point is not the same with both the S and X. Perhaps try setting the profile yet again and maybe even a display reboot?

A couple of times our car would not turn on right away, even after sitting in the driver's seat and pressing the brake. Not sure if this can be related to having 2 fobs in the car, or some other reason why it was very slow to turn on?
