Yup.
You can also unlock and drive with just the keycard that was free and a ton less bulky than the fob.
They managed to deliver a much requested bit of hardware that lacks the primary feature anybody was requesting it for.
This demonstrates a truly godlike level of incompetence.

Things like you can open the frunk without getting in the car, or you can unlock the car when you come up to the passengers side, etc.

If this is the case then Tesla is making a great choice. I can live with proximity sensor letting me open a door and drive the car. I don’t need or want auto open especially given the security threat.

Hopefully we don’t have to do that. Hopefully proximity from pocket works. Having to put the fob on console would be a major buzzkill not to mention having the fob flying all over the car on acceleration and braking.
Once the car recognizes the key card or fob, you don't have to leave it there on the console, just put it back in your pocket.

The car will start without placing the fob, within 2 minutes after you've unlocked it. So you will only have to place the fob in the center console area if you take longer than 2 minute after unlocking the car.
Also, you don't have to leave the fob there. You place it, start the car, and then you can put the fob wherever you want after that
What!? $150 for existing owners!!??! Not happy with Tesla. Forget it. Everything they change sucks. Anything related with pricing. I’ll have to think twice before buying another Tesla.
Actually you missed one step, the last fob should be replicated to the step above key card.

You can do that with the phone without opening the app through the notification drop down (see my post on page 5)
For iOS users, you can add a widget for the Tesla app that gives you quicker access to things like turning the climate control on/off, open the frunk, etc. Once it’s added, you just unlock the phone, swipe left and whoop there it is.
no passive entry and they expect us to pay $150? LMFAO.
that being said, i'm one of the people who has had major issues with phone as key...has anyone else noticed it getting much better lately? i'm not sure if that is placebo or if they've actually been making improvements as they go with software releases, but for me anyway it has gotten much better. i'd say it has gone from working maybe 20%-30% of the time to maybe 70% or so. it still fails far too often, but it has felt better...it also feels like walk away lock fails more often than passive entry does.
