Many people park within 50' of their home. If my car is in my driveway and I happen to walk in my house within 50' of the car it will unlock and without my knowledge? Sounds like a bad idea.

So, as a non-smartphone owner, I wonder if such a watch would work with the Model 3. It's about the same size as a fob, right? Doesn't require a cell plan or anything? If so, I'm back in the race.My watch uses a combination of Bluetooth and wifi to unlock my laptop, it’s seamless and quick. My headphones connect to my phone in under 1 second after being turned on. So I don’t think speed it going to be an issue.
Exactly, that is what "keyless" usually means. But I don't see an indication that's what will be provided. The phone app may be useful if you locked the fob in the car though.If I don’t have to take anything out of my pocket to unlock and start the car, then it’s keyless, regardless of if it’s using a fob or a phone.
I use an Apple Watch, which requires an iPhone. Rumor is the next Apple Watch will have cell data service which would possibly allow it to work without an iPhone (although I would bet an iOS device will still be required for management purposes). Also depends on Tesla making an app for the watch and Apple allowing proper access to Bluetooth on the watch.So, as a non-smartphone owner, I wonder if such a watch would work with the Model 3.

I don't see any indication that they have redefined "keyless" either. It would be completely absurd to make people wait to open the app to unlock the doors.Exactly, that is what "keyless" usually means. But I don't see an indication that's what will be provided.

Missed opportunity for Iris scanning unlock with the driver's side B-Pillar camera.
Or facial recognition.
Why not just buy a used model s?
How many people with cars in this price range use a FOB as the normal way to open their car door, rather than a smart key system.
I sure don't.
If you get to the car, and it's unlocked because it paired with your phone when you were 50 feet away, that's better than every car not named Model S or X

You would not use Bluetooth in such a manner because the range is way too long. Anyone could get into your car from like up to a football field away potentially, just because the signal was there.If Bluetooth connects as you walk up and it treats it like a key fob, great.
I think we'll do exactly that. It's not a pout and take my ball home kind of thing, either. It's just that this and other things make a used S more practical.Why not just buy a used model s?
How limber are you?I wonder if I will be able to open the door with my key card still in my back pocket

Then it wouldn't be offering the convenience of "keyless" entry.It's very possible that you will have to signal an unlock, but it would be easy with a widget that you could access directly from the home screen.
If it unlocks based on proximity then it won't unlock until you are a few feet away I would think.Many people park within 50' of their home. If my car is in my driveway and I happen to walk in my house within 50' of the car it will unlock and without my knowledge? Sounds like a bad idea.

Damn, I didn't even think about this. Or what about for example I just saw Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle in Las Vegas. If you haven't been to a large comedy show recently there is a NO PHONE policy. You can't even have one there. They have introduced these new cases they give you upon entering, but its just an example. Haven't you ever went swimming etc and locked your phone in the car? I guess at this point you just have to carry that Vallet key thing with you I guess. Huh...Many people park within 50' of their home.
