Does anyone know if this is coming? I often forget my phone in the charger (with the door closed) and then run back to get it, given both my phone and car could go missing. Seems like it would be easy to have a chime go off to remind you to take your phone, much like 'normal' cars do with passive keys when you open the driver-side door.

I have the next-best thing. I have my phone paired with my watch, which is configured to vibrate like the world's ending if it loses the connection to my phone. In testing, I can't get more than about 10 meters away before my watch notices I was a derp and left the phone in the car.

Android. There are several options; I use the Developer Option ("Vibrate on connectivity change"), but there are also purpose-built Wear apps like Feel the Wear that do the same thing with more configurable vibration patterns.

It doesn't appear to have Wear support; I am using a third-party app for this purpose, "Dashboard for Tesla".

...….much like "Normal" cars do?
Tesla IS becoming the norm.
LOL
Do it like I do it.
If I don't hear that autolock horn sound after 10 seconds of walking away from the car...I know my phone is still in it.
If I don't see those mirrors folded in after walking away from my car.....I know my phone is still in there.

OMG...I would never give a 3rd party app my Tesla login and password.

This is what I do. Caught my wife leaving her phone on the charger on our way into dinner.

Change Tesla password to honeypot password. Let app generate its API key. Change password back.

What can they do with your login to Tesla?
Is that what you are asking?
Are you willing to PM me with it?
Question: Have you ever logged your phone into your Tesla account? Was it necessary?

It actually does. The car won’t lock with key in it so you will not hear the lock chime when walking away

To actually answer your question: If I have your Tesla account credentials, I can disable your PIN right on the MFD. I'd like to see Tesla allow us to set up MFA via the app for such events.

Me? devious? Are you serious?
WOW.
That's rhetorical also.
ALL of us need to be educated as to what the truly devious people can do so that we can properly prepare ourselves and our Teslas.
