Locked out: I hope these are not dumb questions, but is there a good way to create an alternate (non-keyfob) way to get into your MS when the keyfob fails and you have to call Tesla Service to unlock your 'out of warranty MS' car? I recently had this happen in an awkward situation and it took 90 minutes to give up on AAA and then wait for another hour to get the remote Tesla assistance. I am thinking along the lines of drilling a hole in a plastic panel to allow access to the frunk, then doing something in the frunk to permit entry thru a door. Isn't there a lever if you move it to the front with the assistance of a Milwaukee visual scope that it unlocks the frunk?
I had just that afternoon changed to adding the 4 digit PIN to unlock the car, and the problem seemed to be related to that? After Tesla opened my door, the keypad was on the display screen, which causes me to ponder this. I entered the PIN and my car came to life, ready to drive. Does the 4 digit PIN offer an advantage if you can physically get into the MS but cannot get it to recognize your keyfob? Just remembered earlier in the day I did the latest suggested software upgrade, and it asked me to have my keyfob updated, which I agreed to. Was that related to being locked out?
