I lost my phone and key card in the middle of road trip, tesla is locked, how do i get in? can mobile services help?

[ramrom]

If i'm on a road trip, in the middle of nowhere.
but my tesla has a mobile connection.

My car is locked.
Say I lose my key card and phone on a hiking excursion. no way to get in.

Is there some way to unlock and/or start my tesla? really could tesla mobile services remote unlock and start the car?

Try calling roadside assistance.

Nevermind - I thought this was actually happening now.

Could also find another phone, install Tesla app, login, unlock.

1. Install tesla app on the phone of someone you are with. Use tesla app on their phone to open and start car.
2. Get to a phone and contact someone else who already has access to your car with the Tesla app. Ask them to remotely open and start the car
3. Contact someone who has a smartphone but does not have the tesla app installed. Walk them through installing the tesla app with your credentials, have them open and remotely start the car.

Last resort would be tesla, since you would have to prove ownership to them (you know, to prevent people from lying about ownership and remotely accessing some car they dont actually have access to / own)

You have WAAAAY more options here than virtually any other car type or brand, but sure you can come up with a hypothetical situation where you would be stuck.

What if the car had no cell signal, you lost both phone and keycard, and there was no way to contact anyone at all?

Tow truck on dolly.

Set a phone hotspot of a different carrier to have the correct ssid/password.

For future. Hide keycard on the outside of the car (tape it?) and activate the PIN so it can't be driven away if they find the keycard.

Keep a spare keycard inside (and use PIN to drive, separate PIN for glove box). Break window in low probability event.
