Exactly. I've been saying this for a while now, and don't want to overstay my welcome, but the keycard needs to be the primary key. Hang it on your keychain where it is handy, or in your badge holder. The phone needs to be secondary. There is no way to understand the intent of someone walking to, near, by, around, etc. a car. There's no mind reading API into my brain. Unlocking a car is a significant security event that cannot be taken lightly when in unfamiliar areas, at night, in parking garages, etc. An unlock needs to be explicit, both in terms of when it is performed and what it includes (which doors), and be done without taking ones attention off the environment. Reaching into your pocket to press a key fob is perfect. Poking at your phone to unlock it first, flip, flip, filp, find and start the app, etc., or even reaching into your pocket to bring out and wave your wallet around for all to see are unacceptable from a safety perspective.I'm currently looking for an oversized plastic sleeve that I can hang from my lanyard and carry my company work badge and the Tesla key back to back so I can have it around my neck on work days and it is available to use.
I agree that your 'mickey mouse' solution is a reasonable workaround. I do not carry a smartphone with me, I do not want to pay $40/mo. for another cell phone line, I do not want to carry a no-connection smartphone as a glorified key fob in my pocket which is 4 times the size of a regular key fob, and I do not want to pull my wallet out every time I need to access my car. Like @RandyS I will attach a lanyard to my key card, attach it to a belt loop (to prevent loss) and stuff the whole thing into my pocket. Yes, this is a 'mickey mouse' solution for a simple key fob.I have an Android (Samsung) phone, and have the Tesla app running in the background with the Model 3 selected. Unfortunately, the phone does not reliably open the car door when approaching. I have to constantly get my wallet out to open the door AND use it inside to start the car.

I drove a lot today with many stops and had to use my wallet many times to get in the car and start it. It's not very convenient...
That's the way I operate too. I've even declined to purchase some types of pants because there was no fob pocket. But I'm giving the phone/card a chance.I put the fob in the watch pocket of my jeans. I can operate anything (except summon) easily without removing it. The rest of the time, I forget it's even there.The fob is simply the perfect key for me.
The card works [mostly] without fail. Its the phone that is hit or miss.That's the way I operate too. I've even declined to purchase some types of pants because there was no fob pocket. But I'm giving the phone/card a chance.
It's usually a sign of a poorly thought-through design when a device forces you to find ways to adapt to it, rather than the other way around.I have an Android (Samsung) phone, and have the Tesla app running in the background with the Model 3 selected.
