Wait, now I'm confused. The Owner's Manual states that a lanyard comes with the fob, but there's definitely not one in my box. Or am I missing something? Is there a secret compartment or something?
So far, no one has had a lanyard in the box.

Perhaps it will but will most certainly require a Gen2 key fob. I’m waiting until Tesla introduces a key fob compatible with the 21st century.
Yes! From the owner's manual, page 11:Does this FOB do anything other than unlock the doors, trunk and frunk?
Can we drive the car without the card and phone by only using the FOB?

It also opens the charging port, so there that too.Does this FOB do anything other than unlock the doors, trunk and frunk?

Thanks. That will work for me, I have my FOB on order.Yes! From the owner's manual, page 11:
Ordering for the fob is open again, and they're doing a 45 minute software update for car and phone with a warning that it may interfere with the locking function. Could be this is just secondary to the two being mutually offline, but I have to wonder if they are actually making more substantive changes to the locking process. I'm hoping maybe they've found a way to hack the trunk (not directly, which would be a hardware thing, but indirectly, via whatever data command the touchscreen would normally send?) We shall see.
With the fob, you can place it on the door b pillar drivers side and inside where one would put the key card in the center console, it does the same thing.BTW forgot to have my app set to my car as opposed to my husband's this morning and when I went out to open my door it wouldn't give me access. It was raining. Don't really like having rain falling on my phone and me while I try to get access. The center screen in the car popped up a big message to use my key card. Didn't want to fish through my purse to locate it (besides that would mean Walk Away wouldn't work later and I'd have to use my key card again). Ended up standing under the garage eaves to try to connect to my car which it wouldn't do. Got the message to turn off and on bluetooth on my phone which did quickly get me connected, but I felt stupid standing out there having a hard time getting into my own car. No neighbors watching me at least . With the beginning of rainy season, my fob can't come soon enough; no shipping notice yet.
BTW haven't had any issues gaining access as long as my phone app is set to my car. Maybe more of a problem for multi-car families?
How long has Fedex tracking been in this status? In my experience the tracking always says that for a couple of days when Tesla is about to ship something to me (I'm also in the Bay Area). Then it jumps immediately to "on truck for delivery" and is usually delivered the same day (coincidentally I also had a package shipped on 12/8 according to the Tesla email and it switched to "on truck" this morning). So I'd say wait a few more days, the package may still show up.
No - it all became very obvious once I was in the car but not so much looking at the Graphic.Yes, I laughed at the minimal instructions too. Step 1 - go to controls on your screen; Step 2 - go to the Lock menu; Step 3 - Add +. From there pretty straight forward if you’ve already added phones or other key cards. Pencil lets you change the name of something.
