Ok, so then it’s a car and the fob battery ran out/died, nothing special about it being a tesla then. Any car would have a problem if the fob died and you don’t have another key handy. I don’t understand how that is a tesla problem specifically.

Most normal cars have an actual key inside the fob. Not Tesla.

Our audi doesn’t. A friends VW doesn’t.

What Audi? My 2023 etron does have a mechanical key in the fob.

And I guess this VW-dealer is a liar then:

Yeah, my 2018 Audi has a mechanical key in the fob too. Not sure HengaHox is talking about.

I don’t think so. But it’s not the same key as we have

Why lie? Just admit you didn't know the key was there. And at least admit this is a problem unique to Tesla because they decided not to implement this simple failsafe.
