Get yourself the keyfob. There I said it. I know the car was designed and sold to not need one, and when it works, the phone as a key is great, but as many of you have figured out with phone software updates, the phone doesn’t work as well as it once did as a key. It’s hit or miss. The app has to stay open for many. I got the keyfob 6 months ago and it’s flawless every single time. Yeah it’s 150 dollars, so it’s up to each person whether they find the value, but if you can afford a Tesla then you can afford 150 dollars. Purchase one. Not only is it a great conversation piece because it’s the best looking fob, but no more frustration with getting in the car.
Here near Boston, some of the major hospitals and their satellite offices for outpatient treatment also pretty much require valet parking, so I hear you there.As much as I hate valeting cars, it’s sometimes a necessity (e.g. office parking garages in LA where you’re forced to park tandem and leave keys with attendants). Key fobs with a key ring are easiest in that situation. What do those of you without key fobs do for valet—leave your card?

I leave a card holder like this in the car. https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Polycarbonate-Vertical-Protection-Specialist/dp/B079ZCXMHHAs much as I hate valeting cars, it’s sometimes a necessity (e.g. office parking garages in LA where you’re forced to park tandem and leave keys with attendants).

I forgot my phone at home once, and only realized it after I already got to work... since I had my keyfob with me. Wouldn't have happened otherwiseGet yourself the keyfob. There I said it.

I've had my M3 since Aug 2018, and occasionally still have that panic when I walk out reach for the key and there's nothing in my pocketI was just musing yesterday how much I love not having a keyfob in my pocket. That will be one Tesla option which will go unpurchased.
The keycard would be more useful if it was better location aware, like a fob. Maybe I don’t feel like taking it out and tapping or swiping.
Fob is best but phone is very convenient (when it works)

You do realize that you could put the keycard in your pocket like a fob right? And it's much less noticeable in your pocket than a thick fob (and never needs a battery replacement). I put the rfid chip from 1 of my key cards into my watch and and that's the most convenient backup ever.The keycard would be more useful if it was better location aware, like a fob.

THIS! I haven't had any issue in quite some time.Haven't had a problem once with iPhone 6 nor with iPhone XS connecting to my Model 3 since around late Fall 2018. Frequently had issues prior to that but an update fixed them all. Not having to carry a key fob is one of the many amazing things about the Model 3.
