Whatever that metal thingy is called that you can attach a lanyard, why in the heck didn't they put that on the fob in the first place?

I think this is intended as a significant profit center. I got my wife a Model 3 key fob to deal with those circumstances where the phone won’t open the door. I was astonished that it didn’t come with a lanyard. Fortunately, I have a Model X and a spare set of keys so I was able to take the lanyard from my second Model X key and put it on the Model 3 fob. The Model X lanyard probably costs about 50 cents to make but it works great. I ams sure the new ones don’t cost much to make either but they seem more substantive - hence the unbelievable price tag.

Including a string lanyard would have been nice but I don’t see significant profit center associated with an $18 fob band, premium packaging and free delivery.

No. I agree. I was just being sarcastic. I was however truly annoyed that the key did not come with a key ring and do find it astonishing that the official product solution is $18 on top of a $150 key fob.

The Tesla cover is far more expensive than those generic ones available on Amazon or Ebay. Any of the generics are also marked with the function areas on the fob, unlike the official Tesla version.

I would be afraid the fob would slip out of the key band in my pocket....unless its a really tight fit.
