Service tech was out yesterday to address a squeaky steering wheel (going to be replaced) and we discussed issues with using fobs/cards/phones/phone app to get into the car.
I've had no problems with the fob - works as expected;
I've had no problems with the key card - hold near camera near door; cars opens and use PIN to drive
I've had no problems with using iphone app - use it to unlock the car and then use PIN to driver. Only complaint here is that it usually takes too long for the app to wake the car and then unlock it using the app - it works but just takes too long.
My experience with the iphone as a key was inconsistent though the tech gave me some pointers which seems to have helped a lot:
- approaching the car from a distance when it's locked, sometimes have to just open the LUCID app to get door to unlock if the app hasn't been recently opened. Tesla gives the same advice when using phone as a key if the app has been closed for awhlie on your phone, you may need to open app again to get car to recognize.
- if the phone and car are near each other but the doors are not already unlocked, a few presses of the door handle will unlock the car
Armed with this info, unlocking the car using the iphone as a key has been much more consistent.
