The rumor is true! Just saw this and I am guessing this will pave the way to enabling summon feature here in Canada. Wondering how much it'd cost for us to get a pair... Tesla Model 3 is finally getting a key fob – first images
I think that will be a good option. It will also make summons much more reliable while using the FOB.
Given that this will be required to enable summon in Canada let's hope it will be offered for free to us here...at least for those who purchase EAP...though I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully if they charge for it, the fee is minimal.
Haha, it’s such a PITA... I remember when I picked up my MS a few years ago they put in the iPhone cable at delivery by default and apparently most owners are iPhone users, according to my DS at the time. I guess those who buy $100k cars also buy $1k phones?
The odds of fobs being free are low IMO... However, it might come free with newer M3 deliveries. I guess we’ll find out
I would think it would be free for Canadians who purchased EAP since we can't get the summon feature without a fob.
Interested to hear what the update may have changed...hopefully it didn't enable summon(s); and without the FOB you accidentally ran yourself over and are now pinned by your car, unable to respond, since you said you were checking the app 50+ min ago ....in that case, I'll make sure your red model 3 doesn't have to go it alone
I have no dog in this, but my bet is that the first fob or two will be free per car, and only cost if you want/request more.
I say give the FOB to Canadians for free. They lost out on rebates, taxed to death, dollar weakening. Poor Canadians... we should all sponsor one!
It is reported that they will be free: Tesla Model 3 Key Fob Free To Current Owners, Included For New
That’s great...my 1st weekend with my 3 and a few times it didn’t recognize my phone and I had to use the app to open the doors or use the card. It looks like the fob will fit in the old Model S leather Tesla covers.
Is there seriously a problem with Android and Teslas? Uh oh...not only do I have a android phone, it's also a Blackberry.
