Oh, and keys. I'd hate to lose my fob -- it has not failed me, and I am wary of relying on my phone as the key.

Lack of phone key was one of the top reasons we didnt rush to get the S -= and ended up with a Y -
Phone key is very reliable and a strength of the 3/Y - they really need to bring that to S/X
Well, I suppose it may be a matter of the devil you know....
But I have definitely been in locations with no cell service for either my phone or the car or both. And yes, I do know about the backup key card.
One anecdote about phone vs. fob -- A couple of years ago, the Northeast section of TMC had an event at which there was a Summon race. A few cars (4 or 5, I think) lined up next to each other and, at a signal, used the Summon function to race to a finish line perhaps 50 yards away. I won the first heat of the race. I remember watching the guy next to me trying to actuate Summon on his phone and then waiting while the phone sent the signal to cyberspace and then back down to his car. It took noticeably longer for his cellphone command to move the car than it took for my fob command to do so. I know, who uses Summon very often, but it is direct and reliable using the fob (plus, you do not have to hold down the button).
