Wow @RyanNegri got stranded in the middle of nowhere with a Tesla because it couldn't start without cell service 😬 instagram.com/p/BPQeu9VDDCI/

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

the phone app is not primarily a key fob replacement. Others have learned to stay close to home without the fob.

My mechanic (Tesla specialist) says that the company retains the right to brick any salvaged and resold vehicle.

I'll give OnStar one thing, my car has cell service even when nothing else I own does.

Also: Using cell network to connect devices two feet from each other? *cough* Bluetooth *cough*
Replying to @internetofshit
which is the primary means of starting the car? The key. The app should fail over to Bluetooth. But not sure how secure
Replying to @internetofshit
I don't get why it doesn't work with bluetooth or sth

It seems like it should be the reverse, app key should be back up for regular keys.
