"Tesla has made forgetting your keys a thing of the past for some time. Many Tesla owners, myself included, use their phone as their primary vehicle key. It's convenient, it works (usually) and it's something you pretty much always have on you. Which is why it makes sense that Tesla may soon no longer give out key cards with new cars."
"For those not familiar, Tesla has historically include two credit-card sized key cards with the Model 3 and Model Y since their launches. These cards are provided in place of a traditional metal key and use wireless RFID tech to authenticate the key holder with the vehicle. The manual previously had a line that read "Tesla provides you with two Model 3/Y key cards, designed to fit in your wallet.""
Two credit-card sized RFID key cards have historically been included with Model 3 and Model Y vehicles as wallet-sized replacements for traditional metal keys. Recent owners manuals for both models no longer state that two key cards are provided, and the Tesla news blog Not A Tesla App reported the removal after the launch of stripped Standard trims. Many owners already use phones as primary vehicle keys, reducing reliance on physical cards. Direct confirmation from Tesla is unavailable due to the company's dissolved PR team. Tesla has previously removed manual wording ahead of changes to included vehicle items, supporting the possibility of removal.
