To me, that really does look nice!

Exactly why I ordered it. Can't wait to receive it from Santa Elon!

you know you could have just ordered another card for $5 to give to valet or kids rather than spending $150 for a fob, right?

Yes. I know. But this way I can’t get the wrong card to a 3rd person. My card is my card and stays in my wallet.

The fob is easy to not confuse with another card. Worth the extra $100 for simplicity. Plus it’s more likely my kids will give me the fob back. If I give them a card they will keep it in their wallet and leave the house okmfe the car is returned and the card will be 50 miles away.

Huh?

It’s not Tesla saying it will be free. It’s a 3rd party. Therefore it’s heat say. This is the same guy that had the $5k refund fiasco.

This is a close to gossip as it can get.
Fact is $150 and I bought it. It did not say: but don’t worry we will refund you $150 because you bought a Tesla a few months ago.

People realize the trunk Unlocks if you just pull up right ? 150, for a trunk button for a manual trunk is kray kray... My s fobs look cool, but never pulled em out my bags but naybe three times

Sold out!!

Is this like another NBA final ticket sale that sold out in 10 min the moment it releases, or new iPhone pre-order?

I guess I have to keep checking Model 3 Shop periodically!

Unrelated opinion to the post been questioned by my post.

I use the phone all the time. It works to open the car all the time but sometimes I have to touch the door handle to wake up the phone and car connection. No big deal.
The new fob is great so I can keep my card in my wallet for emergency if I ever need it and I can now give the fob to the valet or my kids. Makes it more convenient.
Glad I ordered it already since it is in back order already.

I really got one to give the dudes at the car wash or who-ever might need to drive the car.

There's that $5/keycard figure again. I was charged $20 each for a pair of cards last week at the Santa Clara Service Center. Mind telling them to change their ordering/inventory system to the lower price?

no need for the passive aggressiveness...plenty of us were quoted and/or have been charged $5 for the cards. just to make you happy, I just sent an email asking how much they are now.

I had previously found on the Tesla website a reference of the cards being $5 but can no longer find it. Either my search skills are failing or they removed the reference. There is really no reason why they don't sell the cards on-line just like they sell the fobs.

i apparently jinxed myself by saying the phone key had gotten better...tonight it was quite literally 100% unusable. went out to do some shopping, made 3 stops - did not work once to unlock the car, including when i went out to the garage to leave my house. not a single time. had to get either the card or the phone out and open through the app (via internet, even just opening the app didn't work)...

I remember that being stated broadly. Here's an example:
Tesla Model 3: The First Serious Review

Zorrilla told me replacements cost $100 [EDITOR'S NOTE: A representative from Tesla contacted The Drive and said the cards cost $5 each; the first replacement is free]

Did ur phone have a good amount of battery on it? Just wondering

It isn’t his battery. For whatever reason his phone is killing either the app and/or the Bluetooth connection when not open. We thought it was cause he was running and older version of Android. He rooted the device and installed a newer rom and that hasn’t helped.

Got my shipping notice. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow, however it looks like the package hasn't been dropped off at FedEx yet. (Only the label has been created)

So on Monday you can tell me if you're able to use it to activate summon.

I will probably get one regardless but the one thing I wanted to use it for was summon.
