When it got really bad for a while, I started carrying my keyfob and it worked fine.Yes, this has been happening to me A TON lately. The weird part is it is inconsistent. Failing to unlock the doors/trunk probably happens about 20% of the time and failing to allow me to drive happens about 50% of the time. The weird part is often even when the car unlocks just fine, it still won't let me drive. DUH, you've already recognized my phone key!!!
This has been happening to me intermittently since 2019, but it's gotten way worse. Have uninstalled and reinstalled phone key, deleted and installed app, etc. These tend to work for a few days and then it's back to the same old crap.
Does anybody know if buying a tesla key fob might work more reliably? Does the fob need to be placed by the cupholders like they key card, or is it purely bluetooth/pocket operation?
This is totally intolerable for someone who drives clients around--straight up embarrassing and along with the awful clunking suspension most of my client "small talk" ends up being about how sh**ty my M3 is. I have a 1996 toyota with a transponder key that is still 100% reliable after 340k miles.
44.2 and allowing nearby devices in the Tesla app seems to have solved my issues. Based on others still having the issue with 44.2, best guess is the nearby devices function may have solved mine. Only issue I seen to have is it's slow to unpack the charge cable but a few presses of the button and it unlocked. Otherwise mine has been working without issue. *Knock on wood*
