How many of you still carry keys?

[Rothgarr]

No wallet! Nice. How do you do that?

I have a silicon holder that I stuck to the back of my iPhone, sort of like these things. All I keep in it are a credit card, license, and tesla key (as a backup should my phone ever fail to unlock my car). Everything else I keep locked in the glovebox in my wallet -- but I never really need to ever use it.

So I only walk around with my phone and that's it.

Anyone here from IA or LA who has an electronic DL? I heard those are the two states that deployed those, has anyone ditched the plastic license for a digital one? Curious how that works... I have so many questions. Please come forward and let us know how convenient or a pain they are.

Sounds good. Cash in your pocket or cashless?

I'll need a few more things to go digital (e.g. library card) before I can do this.

Thats awesome. I utilize wireless charging way too much on my phone to be able to obtain that setup. But one day I would love to be just my phone, and ditch my wallet + keys.

I dont carry any keys anymore. I switched my house and work over to electronic locks so I could ditch those a while back. I do always keep a Tesla card key in my wallet though.

And electronic door lock doesn’t necessarily mean internet connected. No reason to be concerned about getting hacked.

No keys. Have a keypad for my front door. Go in house through garage when I park my car. Garage opens up when I pull up. Carry wallet with my Tesla card for back up and a few other cards. But no keys since I bought my Tesla 1 year ago.

 

[Jclboston]

I carry the Tesla key fob since the phone’s reliability is decrepit in my experience and an elevator key card. No traditional keys day to day.

Cashless. I pay everything using Apple, if possible. The credit card is my fallback. The only place I'll use cash is at the barber shop who still doesn't take credit cards. So once a month I have a $20 bill in my pocket.

I've never used wireless charging yet. I usually only have to charge my iPhone once every two or three days, and when I do I just plug it in while I go to sleep

I'll still carry keys, though just a house key and a key for my PO box. But I also carry a small Swiss army knife and USB drive on my keychain, so it still works as a "handy toolkit" instead of just something to hold my keys.

 

[raviman8]

No keys. I enter my house through the garage. I do have a set of keys I keep in the car, but I haven't used them in months.

ditto!
i keep my house keys in the car as a backup, but my garage door to the house is almost always unlocked. considered installing august lock or something similar, but not reliable enough from user reviews.

 

[Ol'Blue]

I carry the Tesla key because I live in a rainy area and the car has been asleep too many times when I want to get in. Leaving my family and I waiting for it to let us in soaked.

A quick double tap of the remote in my pocket while walking to the car keeps a young family happy.

not to mention, my house key and gym key are all on the same key chain.

 

[SageBrush]

I've been keyless since 2004, but I have had to carry a pouch that includes a wallet and fob and assorted stuff.
I tried dumping the pouch and only carrying a phone after the Tesla came home. That did go well because I often forget the phone, and it tends to be discharged.

Eventually I'll either end up with either only a phone; or even better, just a watch

 

[neptunesfinest]

No keys. Just my phone and my ridge wallet which includes my backup key card. Inside my car I keep a spare key for my house just in case my smart lock fails to open (which it never has in 7 years).

You have now invoked Murphy's Law. Your smart lock will now fail to open within two weeks.

I’m old school and still carry keys - as in my car key fob, 1 house key, and a super small 300+ lumen keychain flashlight (which is surprisingly useful and used quite often when examining something on the car).

The main reason why I still use a key fob is because of where I park daily for work, at a business tower parking garage in downtown LA. I have to give my keys to the parking attendant everyday. And when there’s literally 20+ other Model 3’s parked on your same parking level (and more parked on the other levels), my key chain makes it very easy to recognize & grab when next to the bunch of similar looking Model 3 key cards hanging in the same attendant box.

Plus, for me using the key fob to open the trunk is much easier & faster than unlocking the phone, then going into the app to send a signal to open it.

 

[GTIceman]

I'm just amazed by those saying they don't carry wallets. I went to four places today alone that required physical card and not Google pay

 

[BluestarE3]

I haven't carried keys since I got my Model 3. I keep my backup key card in my wallet, which I still carry. Normally, I enter via the garage, so carrying a house key isn't really necessary.

However, with our local utility's (PG&E) policy of shutting off electricity during fire season, there's still a new to have a mechanical house key. We also need a key to our son's place when we go over to take care of the grandkids. I rely on my wife to carry these in her purse, so yes I can claim to be personally key-free.

And if it does I’ll have no problem getting in
