Simple yes or no, would you like a key fob for your Model 3?
Tonight was the first time I had to dig into my purse, unlock my phone, go into the app and push “unlock” to get in my car. Annoying in a dark parking lot with hubby waiting impatiently to get in. Would have rather just grabbed a fob and double clicked.
Hopefully that doesn’t happen too often with all the various ways phones can have issues.
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.And with a fob, you can do this blindly by feel inside your pocket/purse/whatever.
I agree, and that includes a 'bulkier than fob' smartphone.The fewer things I have to carry around, the happier I am.
I would much rather carry a phone that a pocket full of keys. The sooner I can get rid that and my wallet, the better.I agree, and that includes a 'bulkier than fob' smartphone.
I think the smartphone/fob debate is a generational one. Generally speaking, younger people have grown up with a smartphone and it is part of their persona and necessary for work. Older folks grew up with land lines and are retired and consider a phone an intrusion. One is not better than the other, it is just a personal choice and Tesla should offer both.
I don't know why Tesla doesn't use the system I have on my current car, I think it is called RFID (but not sure). I have a very small fob that stays always in my pocket or purse. You walk up to the car, grab the handle, the car beeps twice, and the door unlocks. Conversely, get out of the car, press a sensor on the handle, the car beeps once, and the doors lock. You can start the car without taking the very small fob out of your pocket. Nothing could be easier. What is the problem with this system - no smartphone necessary and no removal of a keycard from your wallet?
I have a car fob but no keys in my pocket. Carrying a fob does not necessarily mean that I carry keys.I would much rather carry a phone that a pocket full of keys. The sooner I can get rid that and my wallet, the better.
