Hundreds if not thousands of back street phone shops will unlock your phone in under 3 minutes!
If yours is as secure as you state you are very very unusual.
But can they break the PIN on the car to drive it off?

It took the FBI 5 months to get into an iPhone (and Apple since fixed that vulnerability).Hundreds if not thousands of back street phone shops will unlock your phone in under 3 minutes!

...and never ignore warning messages!
Lesson learned today. Opened the car as normal with my phone in a pocket. There was a warning note that "the walk away close feature is not available", but I did not pay attention. The car started and I drove away. Got out from the car for a few minutes - the car did not lock but I was just nearby so no bother. Back to the car and it did not move - it asked for a card key (which was at home in my wallet). Checked the App - my account was active but no products found. Cannot start the car without the key card and without the active App, so I had to wait for my wife to bring me my wallet. Tomorrow I will call Tesla to find out what has happened and why my Account is not connected to my car anymore, but I learned the lesson - always carry your key card with you even when using your phone...
It's happened before, but you just need to log in again (with 2FA now). Even if the app was no longer paired as a key you could use it to unlock the doors.Out of interest... Does uninstalling the Tesla app and reinstalling make it forget it's a key? And then need enabling again.
I wonder if in some situations an app or phone update means the app might loose some of it's settings.

I wouldn’t recommend this. I’ve done it twice and regretted it both times. In my experience logging out makes things worse. The app usually doesn’t work if it can’t communicate to the mothership, or the mothership can’t communicate with the car. However Bluetooth still allows you to open the car from the unlock icon. Removing the car/app is bad because you can’t talk to the mothership, you can’t add it back in.Ok thanks. I wonder if the OP could have tried logging out the app and back in again. It was the app that was showing the problem after all, not the website.
Should have told the FBI over in the USA, they took ages to unlock some persons phone they were prosecuting. They even went to Apple and they refused to do it. In the end some hacker helped them. It was big news not long ago.Hundreds if not thousands of back street phone shops will unlock your phone in under 3 minutes!

I always keep mine hard to rememberI find setting a PIN to be a bit of a mind game with the would be hacker. Are they going to count up, or down, do I start high 9999, or low 0000, or do I hedge my bets 5000
Interesting, did you try the driver’s handle? With your phone inside the Bluetooth should still have allowed you to unlock?I was washing my car last weekend and left my phone on the passenger seat. About 20 mins into the job, the car locked itself. Phone was sat on the passenger seat and it had not crashed/run out of power etc. I've so far relied on the phone Andes the only key and quite frequently have gone out without my wallet. If this had happened when I was away from home it would have been a real pita.
Just one big security risk.
Loose or have your phone stolen. A quick look at the tesla app shows the location of your car. Hurrah a free tesla!
With 2 factor authentication it would make it harder.Out of interest... Does uninstalling the Tesla app and reinstalling make it forget it's a key? And then need enabling again.

OP - You're now off topic, suggest you start a new threadWow! I did not expect that my thread will generate such heated debates abt the security topics! Just to give an update on my situation - I called Tesla and was told that there was some IT glitch on their side: for some reason the status of my car was moved from "active" to "not delivered", which automatically removed it from the App. Tesla guys promised to rectify the problem immediately and to change the status of my car as "delivered". Hopefully all will be fine soon, but as said - the lesson learned!
