The leather holder comes with the metal clip and a leather loop that goes into openable screw rivet. The op-tech mini loops (the string) are separate/not included. I put my op-tech mini into the rivet and then push it in-line with the rivet to make everything as compact as possible.

That would be ok, but give me a high quality wrist watch that includes buttons for the drunk & trunk & maybe with some app type features to check charge status & preheat/cool, I'd buy that in a heart beat!

I love this idea. They could even do a premium one by partnering with a watchmaker (like Bentley and Breitling or Panerai and Ferrari). I love nice watches and would buy one in a second even if it didn't open my doors or have an app!

They had run out of these on Amazon and said it was 2-3 weeks back order, but I just got a notice that I'll get it middle of next week for anyone who wants to order one.

RandyS : Thanks for the update the key holder is at: iJDMTOY 3d Carbon Fiber Pattern Key Holder Small[/URL). They also sell a larger one for those that like options: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-Pattern-Genuine-Premium-Leather/dp/B008E9EVL8/ref=sr_1_33?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1357402169&sr=1-33"]Larger Carbon Fiber Key Holder
I was emailing op-tech USA about the op-tech mini loops. They are back in stock but with delayed shipping at Amazon. Op-Tech Mini Loops. Op-Tech also said they would be willing to try to build a prototype strap based on the mini with a small ring. I will let you know if something good comes out of it.

Anyone know of a household lock or Rfid receiver (for electric lock) that can learn the code from the key fob? I would love to have access to my house/business using the fob.

Here's how I attached my Model S key to my keyring.
Ingredients:
One Model S key
One 10mm ring
One tube of Superglue gel
Directions:
Stick 10mm ring into slot at the back of the Model S key.
Secure in place using Superglue gel.
Result:
Model S key attached to keyring.

Great idea, but that superglue will (likely) break with little stress, IMHO.
But the same process might work well if adjusted slightly... I suggest:
- some sandpaper scuffing of the fob plastic around the location where the ring touches (folded sandpaper or even a triangular file?) for better adhesion
- attachment via two-part epoxy, for strength

I picked the rubber-infused flexible glue because I thought that should last better than normal cyanoacrylates. Note that there was no “wobble” in the 10mm ring — it was jammed in there pretty firmly, and the glue was just to keep it from pulling back out. So the glue is subject to tension forces, but hopefully not day-to-day sideways flexing. I’ll report back if and when it breaks.

Sorry if I appeared to criticize - you did pick the best cyanoacrylate, IMHO.
I was just suggesting that a hard or semi-flexible epoxy would ultimately maintain strength longer under tension and shearing force.
Great solution, and I share Dave's thought that it should have been better designed at Tesla. 8 \
How about something entirely different
5 bucks at Michaels for some black leather cord, a few knots, a crimp or two, and voila - not only a place to safely keep the Tesla keyfob, but also a necklace that makes me fashionable and tres chic with the green crowd.
