Is "phone as key" reliable?

[Lance From Jax]

Phone key is all I have ever used since the day I took delivery.
Its never let me down.
I keep a key card in my desk at work just incase.
I don't carry a regular wallet (hate them), only my iPhone with a Magsafe sleeve for my DL and two CC's.

“Phone key” for your car has absolutely nothing to do with what is being talked about in this thread for a 2017 Model S.

Nope, it’s a happy Friday! Just making sure people reading this thread understand what’s relevant to the conversation and what very much isn’t.

but OP made a wrong title without understanding his cars features, so it makes it look like u never read the thread...

This thread is about 2017 Model S so the title "phone as key" should be "internet as a key." Older S/X don't have key card technology so they reply on the Internet to unlock your car and drive.

I bought a used fob on Ebay for $40 and Tesla service came out and programmed it for $20 plus $10 for a battery plus $40 because it was used. So $110 total for a second fob.
