I am baffled they made this decision, it's ****ing awful on so many levels. I'd gladly pay the going Model S replacement fob price to have a normal fob that just works, rather than rely on having my phone charged, BT enabled, etc. And I don't need another goddamned RFID badge. One (for work) is bulky enough, two is just stupid. But I can't risk leaving the house without the RFID since my phone battery might die, or get broken, or whatever. Between this and having to potentially pay $5k for the one or two options I'm interested in the PUP (if I wanted everything, it's arguably a great price), I'd be tempted to cancel my reservation, except - what else am I going to buy next? I can't afford the S/X, but that car I want is almost 60k, and the car I can stand to live with is still over 50k. Was hoping to get the features I wanted for closer to 45k, but that just doesn't seem possible, and bone headed moves with the RFID "keyless" just aren't helping.
I know they're anti-selling, but they're anti-selling me from Tesla, not upselling me to S/X.
