Occasion, dealer lost spare key, Tips for anti theft?

[World_Citizen]

Hi,

I am taking delivery of a 2018 Model S tomorrow. 2 Weeks ago the dealer showed me both keys tot the car, but I got a call they lost one of them.
No problem, they pay the service for a new set of keys and apologised. It will be solved, the dealer was helpful and everything is going to be fine.

But... I am a little bit feared. Who knows someone took it, placed a tracker and is going to pick my car up in the next few nights. It can happen you never know.

After some googling I found the "Pin to Drive" feature which is great. This feature takes most of my fears away.
I also contacted my local police station and asked if I can park my car at their station for a few nights. They will call me back soon (its a 1 min walk)

But maybe someone has another tip. For example, can I pull a fuse? Can I unregister one of the keys on my own?

2018 Model S

Thanks for any help. I just don't want to end up without my new car in 1 night .

The Tesla service center should be able to disable the missing fob. Drive there and explain the issue.

My memory is that for the 2018 level, when they program a new key, they need to reprogram all the keys at once. That’s where if they didn’t have the “lost “ key, I don’t believe it would work anymore.

As far as I understand I can't unregister 1 key with this model. They will have to do both at the same time.
My service appointment will be made today, but I expect they will need a few days for this appointment. They are probably busy I can't do it right away.

“Pin to Drive” is sufficient, do not overthink. Just take the car to the service and they will handle it. Afterwards the lost key has no influence.

Yeah thanks! I am not to concerned, but you never know.

I was reading a bit and "some" website claims that it "could be" possible to hack the pin to drive feature. There is no proof or much other info...

When the fob is programmed they need all fobs present. Since the missing one wasn't present it is no longer programmed to the car.
