Who has or is planning to get an electric car / EV Talk

As mentioned, you will have to turn your phone/bluetooth off or your TMY will stay open.

Do you have an apple watch? If so, you can set your watch as a key. Because of how Apple manages the OS, the watch can shutoff the Tesla app to conserve battery power. I have a second screen with my Tesla complications (hard press, swipe left set as active screen), or I open the Tesla app on the watch and I can use my watch as the key. I use it when I am home and leave my wallet and phone inside the house.

I have an AWU 1.

I do have an Apple Watch, I read the watch was spotty to be used as a stand alone key. I would rather just leave my iPhone at home as I am literally 2 mins from the river where I launch. Takes me longer to drive there then it would to watch to it across the street from me. If I could go with just the watch that would be ideal.

It isn't spotty. AW OS simply shuts down the app to conserve battery. Tesla apps just work, they always work, what happens is sometimes Apple shuts it down for battery life (phone and/or watch). Since the AW OS is much more conservative with background running, it just seems like there are issues. Simply open the app, and it works.

Tesla has some of the best software that exists in the automotive industry for both the vehicle and phone/watch. Right now, I don't believe they released an Android wearable app yet though. But the software for the vehicle is fantastic, and their iOS/AWOS apps are fantastic.

That said, I always have my Tesla key in my wallet as a backup, but I have never had to use it in the 2+ years I have owned Teslas. The Tesla made AW app is less than a year old (I had 3rd party AW apps before).

Well, there was the Bolt and Bolt EUV, actually quite successful …

They were decent, but not even small enough! And now they're discontinued and will be replaced by a bigger vehicle.

As I said above, the rumor is the the new Bikt will be reusing the EUV form factor, granted a bit larger than the original Bolt but still on the smaller side.
“Small” doesn’t sell in the US, that unfortunately is reality today
