Interesting that it does not support passive entry. That is one of my favorite features about our S. I often walk away from our other vehicles forgetting to lock them now.

This is an interesting note, does this mean it won't unlock based on proximity?

Note: Does not support passive entry. Review Owner’s Manual for additional information.

$150 for a key fob for a car I just bought 30 days ago fr $60,000!!!! REALLY! I guess I can just keep trying my phone which only works about 25% of the time and only then if I turn the Bluetooth on and off while I am standing in the rain. Or I can use the cards which work fractionally better. C'mon Tesla (Elon) really are you that hard up for cash. Every car I have purchased in the last 20 years came with at least 2 fobs. My GMC truck came with three!!

Just for comparison, the dealer I bought my used FIAT 500e from quoted me $400 to get a new key, cut it, and program it.

I'm out.

Thanks for the information @OP! I was hoping the key fob would be free for existing owners but I won't plan to get one if it cost me money. I'm content with the keycard and phone key

Extremely disappointing.

I have to ask... is it technically really a fob if it doesn't attach to anything?

Summon feature?

Let me say that I love my phone-key and it works flawlessly for me. The price is one thing, but lack of passive entry makes this thing basically useless.

Yup. The price is totally acceptable but no passive entry? Seriously, Tesla.

Yes, but.....when new it came with two!

Are they going to provide one for free or not? I wouldn’t buy one yet until there is a definitive answer.

 

[BobAbooey]

Do you think we can just keep the key fob in our pockets and the car will drive?
