Tesla is no longer including key fobs as standard on the Tesla Model S and X. The cost-cutting move came into effect on July 1.

Apparently, Tesla dropped the key fob “to eliminate the e-waste.” The buyers of the Tesla Model S and Model X would still be able to have a key fob for their cars, should they choose so.

A woman recently went viral after posting a video where she's wiping an access card across a Tesla Model 3 trying to get it to work. She's not alone.

Video shows Tesla's Vice President of Engineering entering the car with a card.

The Belgian researchers reported the security issues to Tesla in August 2020 and the company is now rolling over-the-air firmware update to address the issues affecting the SUV's key fob.
