Model 3 key fob finally coming

[pcons]

Again, iPhone as key works great. Already had it with me, didn't need to get it out of my other pair of pants. Don't like fobs

The argument would be not everyone uses iPhone and the function doesn't work perfectly for Android users unfortunately.

And in Canada, summon doesn't work at all regardless software or phone type, so those that purchased EAP are missing an adverised feature....also note that the fine print for EAP did say some features depend on approval by the jurisdiction/government the car is sold into....but made no mention that you would have to spend additional money on top of EAP to enable all features.

This is where I have an issue. I knew EAP needed a FOB when I bought it, and I knew tesla was designing a FOB, so in my simple (and selfish) assessment, I should get 2 FOBs for free.

Ok...this is starting to get annoying: Tesla owners will be able to remotely control their car through their phones ‘like RC cars’ within ~6 weeks, says Elon Musk

So whats the deal for us Canadians Elon?

I was't counting on Tesla releasing a FOB when I added EAP. However, now that Tesla has a solution to comply with government regulations for an prominently advertised feature, they should give all Model 3 EAP owners a free/highly subsidized keyfob.

... a free/highly subsidized keyfob.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this is coming. But I'm not counting on it.

As an X owner, I still have to say this doesn’t fly for me. It’s not the owners fault the card/phone key doesn’t work reliably, that’s square on Tesla.

I think that going forward a fob should be included with each 3, and that existing owners should get 1 fob free to solve their issues.

There’s my $0.02

Musk has tweeted that they are aiming to release summon for Canada next week. Screenshot attached.

That would be awesome. Wonder if it will still require the key fob, or Tesla has found a way around that....

No mention of Summon Feature. $200 no thanks, phone key is great!

If they were offering Summon in it's full entirety, and 2 FOBs for $200...then MAYBE i'd bite.
But since it appears thats not the case...I'm good.

I still don't get why I potentially need to pay an additional $200CAD for Summon that's already supposed to be included with my $6,600 CAD EAP feature...

You do get a very fancy box.

$200 key fob and no passive entry. Just no. Better to spend that $200 toward a better phone.

With the prices of the new iPhones, $200 won't help much, lol... A more expensive Android still won't open our doors

Pass. I have 100% success rate with my Android GS7 phone. I did change some settings to stop Android from putting the app to sleep, also it only works in my front pocket.. Seems the bluetooth signal cant get through my thic butt.

Need to find a cheap android device that can run the app and has decent Bluetooth. Phone optional.

Sorry, "SOL!" They are already sold out. Wow... that went fast!

Maybe sold out in the US? Still available in the Canadian store as of 3:40pm EST.
