I’ve heard of Tesla owners being unable to get into their car because their wireless-only key fob was to close to a radio dish and was being effectively jammed. The owner had to go under the car and hide the remote from the radar dish to get it to unlock

Yikes. Wouldn’t that effect all fob style entries though? A lot of cars do that.

Yes it will kill any brand’s wireless capability, but almost every wireless key fob also has a valet key that can open the door without any wireless connection. Tesla’s mistake was to require you to use the wireless fob.

O_o they also have an RFID card that you can use like a regular key, so that doesn’t track.
