Moderator note: Made thread title more specific.
The whole "phone as a key" idea is great...BUT...the practical inconsistencies and failures are pissing me off! Every third time I go to the car and "plan" to get in and drive I'm stuck wiggling the handle, seeing the screen say "place key card on pillar", then, "place key card on console" (paraphrased) to drive. I mean what the **** is the deal? Please forgive my language, but, as I said, it's pissing me off!
I'm using a samsung S8, but the same thing happens with a Samsung S10. It is intermittent, and it isn't just related to getting into the car and driving. I also have issues with my music streaming from the phone(s) (because Tesla can't handle freakin USB playlists). This isn't a phone issue either, because my wifes iPhone does the same thing.
Of course, trying to reach Tesla to get a cogent response about this is futile (very disappointing). I love my Tesla, and I believe in the company. I don't want to trash them in any way, but this is bullshit. There MUST be some way to get these issues resolved in a timely manner.
If there was some kind of log that I could review, maybe I could come up with a solution myself, but there isn't.
The more I write here, the more pissed off I get. For a company I appreciate so much...having NO WAY to actually get information or contribute to a solution, is simply unacceptable.
For any reading this, I'm using a Samsung S8 and the Tesla app has ALL priveledges, as well as "running in the background". Nothing is denied to the Tesla app.
Wondering how everyone else feels about this.
