I emailed Tesla about the problems with Phone Key, and to ask if they're planning a key fob. The reply I got?
From the Phone Key Youtube video:
Seems like they're walking back their confidence in Phone Key, and so instead of being willing to fix the issues, they're just going to pretend like it wasn't supposed to be the primary key to begin with.
Stellar work, Tesla. Unreal.
Phone access is a convenience feature only, and not meant to be the primary form of access.
WOW. This straight up contradicts what we were all told upon taking delivery, AND what is printed in their instructional materials.
From the Phone Key Youtube video:
Set up your Tesla app as a Phone Key—your primary method of accessing and starting your car, via Bluetooth.
From the Tesla website:
We recommend the Phone Key as the primary method of accessing and starting your vehicle.
