And also assumes your phone doesn't die or run out of power! I know Tesla gives you an NFC card as well, but if you don't have that and your phone has run out of juice, then you're locked out of your Tesla...RichR wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 3:17 pm Yes, definitely. Security of the key is the important thing now that cars are much more secure. Some makes of car have shifted to allowing you to use your phone's Bluetooth BLE functionality to unlock and lock the car (eg Tesla, BMW, Honda). But that just shifts the importance of keeping hold of your key to keeping hold of your phone. And I'm pretty sure I've mislaid my phone more often than I've mislaid my car key (especially with keyless entry as it never leaves my trouser pocket)
And this report was only a year ago that the Bluetooth wasn't that secure anyway:
