And if you opt for the fob, then you don't need to carry a backup card at all, because even when its battery is dead, you can tap it against the reader just like you would with the card.
Here’s an idea, I don’t use any of this phone bullshit then I never depend on my phone for any of this crap, and the car I bought 20 years ago just comes with regular key fobs for free rather than spending $175 extra per fob to get something that should come with the car.
I already don’t use Apple wallet for credit cards or license or anything like that.
I don’t need or want a tech bro workflow. I’m not signing into an app to access my car. I’m not buying a car that doesn’t come with a key fob with real buttons for free included in the purchase price.
Tesla owners don’t carry a backup card, which leaves them vulnerable if something goes wrong with their phone.
Tesla owners do carry a backup card, which means the phone app doesn’t save you from needing to carry a key with you, which means this whole “new way of doing things” is just a key fob with annoying extra steps.
