For model S and Model X ,the car key looks like a car.
But for model 3 is a key card like the bank card which looks differen from the other normal car key.
As for me,I would like to the key cover like the S istead od 3?
How about you?
Please talk with your own opinion.

If I have to have a key card, I would prefer one small enough to put on my keychain. A fob makes far more sense if you occasionally use valet services. I doubt the typical valet parking booth has a slot to hold key cards, so at the very least the card needs to have a hole to install a chain so it can hang on a hook, just like every other car key in the world.

And what about something as simple as getting new tires? I am not looking forward to explaining the key card to a guy that puts 32 psi in a truck tire rated for 80, and is puzzled that I wanted at least 70 psi.
 
If they’d update the mobile app to be more convenient so I can open the frunk from the widget instead of launching the app completely I wouldn’t mind not having a fob as much. Also summon without a fob is going to be annoying once they finally give us summon...
 
Wow,it would be a nice thought here.Awsome!
Yes. You would think Tesla would have thought of this.

I plan on printing a label that fits the back of the card that provides simple instructions with diagrams for valet. Something like:

1) Place card as shown to unlock car

DIAGRAM

2) Place card as shown to drive car

DIAGRAM

3) Place card as shown to lock car

DIAGRAM

Edit: I realize step 3 is kind of redundant. However, it's a good reminder for the valet to lock the car.

It already comes with the Lock/Unlock diagram.
