    Yes, I can accept that an app can offer additional utility that a keyfob can’t. That’s fine as long as it isn’t needed for basic functionality.
    My bicycle has an app, too. But I don’t need it to ride.

      On a Tesla, you can use the wallet card, phone app, or a key fob. The wallet card comes with the car, but if you want a key fob you have to buy it separately. The app is free and does not require a subscription.

      GM’s OnStar + app on the other hand…yikes.
