Re-use card key?

[anthonys]

I'm about to return my leased Model Y and get a new one. I bought a couple of extra card keys for the old car. Will I be able to re-use those with the new car, or do they get permanently attached to the first car they bind to? Thank you.

you can add them to your new car.

I would delete them from within your lease Y, but I haven't had issues with adding the same keys to multiple cars

Keep them - and you can have both cars!

Like @buckets0fun said, you can re use them. I second @buckets0fun 's recommendation to remove them from the old car, but a keycard can be paired with at least 2 vehicles, as I have done that with my own and my wifes vehicle. Not sure what the limit is.

I do the same with our M3 and MY. Key cards are "passive" since they don't have internal power. I am guessing that one Tesla would not "know" if the key card is used with another Tesla already.

That’s exactly the case. Back at my old job, I had one keycard that I used as some kind of general key or backup key for our fleet of 6 Teslas.
