I had an issue yesterday which required me to restore the firmware on my iPhone. I was not worried as I had a complete backup which I proceeded to load after the restore completed.
Fast forward to this morning and I found myself unable to unlock my 3 even after I had signed in to the Tesla app. I could not establish a connection with the vehicle as it was parked in an underground garage.
A brief moment of panic ensued until I found my key card in my wallet (it was hidden behind another card).
Moral of the story: iPhone backups do not contain key profiles so you will have to set up the phone key from scratch. Always have your key card.
