Nice packaging, but for the price they could really include a 10-cent key ring with a short loop to attach to the fob like the one that comes with the Model X fob ...

did you have to order the key fob? or Tesla mail to Model 3 owner automatically.
Until you use the FOB to open the FWDs on the Model X.I truly am sorry for those of you that need the fob. I guess we are lucky that our phones are working pretty well for us. When I got a loaner S recently, I found the use of the fob to be very clumsy. Boy do we get used to modern conveniences (when they work) awfully fast!
Mostly for me it's useful for when someone not me will drive it; seems less likely to be lost or misunderstood like the card - it is pretty enough I suppose but it is pricey for what it is..
man, i just watched a video of this today where someone took the FOB apart and there's a spot you can loop a lanyard and add a keyring on the end. I need to find it again.
Found it -

You'll never get the Supercharger to charge your e-Golf, even if you can plug it in, unless VW make an agreement with Tesla.Nice for you, but believe it or not, there are still people who buy an EV yet don't want to carry a phone with them everywhere!
And don't get me started about the keycard, which is a joke in itself.
The Model 3 fob is the second greatest bit of news to me right after the CCS charge port and Supercharger CCS retrofit. Means in future I can also charge my e-Golf at convenient Supercharger locations.
Great!

Just because it's the right port, doesn't mean it will work.
Even with the CCS port, only Teslas will be able to charge at Superchargers unless agreements are made between automakers or Tesla opens the network to all cars.
No passive? Why Elon? Why???
Austin, question, have you been around Tesla stuff long enough to remember when there was no X and the S owners were complaining that they wished the fob was smaller, thinner? Their shouts were for a smart card. Something they could carry in the wallet. And another group at the time wanted to simply use their smartphone - passing on the smart card hoping the phone only method would happen sooner if they didn't ask for the smart card. After a while the complaining faded into the background and we heard no more about a smart card from these folks.Nice for you, but believe it or not, there are still people who buy an EV yet don't want to carry a phone with them everywhere!
