(This scenario doesn't happen if you also bring the keys, but that kinda defeats the point of having an app key?)

'cause it's not an app key, it's an app that controls the car over the internet. You don't have to be near for the app.

Replying to @internetofshit
other way around. Having a key defeats the point of a silly app. See also: Anything else with a key

this isn't so much Tesla shooting you as much as it is Tesla giving you the gun and showing you how to turn off the safety

Yes, but no. I think it should be the other way around: have you keys always with you and use the app if you forget them.
Replying to @internetofshit
It is very instructive if you ask me.

no bluetooth wtf?
Replying to @internetofshit
well I always saw the app as a novelty and a backup. I would never purposefully go somewhere without the keys.
Replying to @internetofshit
it really seems like this shouldn't need reception. Do you know whether it also needs their servers to be up?

Anyone who uses a cell phone for security is begging for this kind of situation. Hacked, stranded, or worse.
