Well, I accidently left the Tesla key fob in my pants pocket when they went into the wash (front-load clothes washer). It took about 15 minutes to get dislodged from the pocket and started rattling around in the washer; which is when I noticed it. Stopped the washer, had it drain, and searched around to see what the noise was. It was my Tesla key fob.
I happened to look out the laundry room window and the rear hatch of my MYLR was up. "Gee, I didn't leave it up". So I went outside and pushed the button to lower it. About 20 minutes later I looked out the window and it was back up again. So I closed it again. Ditto the frunk; it had triggered to unlatch.
Then I opened the key fob and removed the CR2032 battery. I let everything dry out overnight and put in a new battery the next morning. It has worked fine since then.
I prefer the key fob since it stays in my pocket and I just walk up to the door, open the handle, hop in, drive away. No need to wave the card around. And I'm old so I have a dumb phone, not a smart phone. I'm perfectly happy with the key fob. ...and now it is clean
