Less than what? Model S? ICE vehicle? LEAF? I'm afraid the LEAF is my bar now, which is pretty high I admit.

Functional, as a backup, yes. But definitely a step backwards if you have to take something out of your pocket to use it. Plus, my wallet is already bursting with cards & my work badge--and thanks the virtual cards I've even been able to eliminate many, but each new card is a challenge.
Not to rehash the sentiment in the Phone as Key Issues thread on TMC, but I get the fact that some people don't have keys any more and love the fact that they can eliminate one more thing from their lives. But I have to carry around keys anyway. An actual fob (that works like the LEAF's) is not a big deal. At least offer that as an option.
I hadn't even thought of the difficulty of having to explain to a valet how to use the key card. And once you explain it, are they going to have to relay that information to another valet that will be the one returning your car? And will they have a key storage system that will accomodate a key card? And how will they differentiate it from the others...I imagine they currently attach a tag to keys now. How will Tesla service centers keep the key cards straight?
