Did the key fob on model X or S ever have a 24 page thread dedicated to problems with the key fob?
Less reliable = not an improvement.
I can write a 24 page thread alone about problems with my Model S key fob...
Mine will always unlock if I have the Tesla app open and pointed to the 3. If my iPhone 7 is in my pocket, it may or may not open.All of these posts are really getting me worried with my model 3 delivery date only a week away. As a pediatrician who often needs to get to the hospital quickly at a moments notice, this car needs to be able to reliably unlock the door! Is this issue really that common with the model 3 or are the vast majority of satisfied owners just not chiming in??
I’m calling BS on that claim.I can write a 24 page thread alone about problems with my Model S key fob...
You will be able to get into the car reliably, but maybe not with your phone right away. The key card works 100% of the time for me, it is just somewhat of a pain. My car is at the Service Center tonight to have a few things fixed, with the phone key being the main issue for me.As a pediatrician who often needs to get to the hospital quickly at a moments notice, this car needs to be able to reliably unlock the door!

I have a ZTE Blaze Pro. It is a Chinese Android brand running Android 6.0.1 as well.What phone are you using? I have an older 3-4 year old Droid XT1254 running Android 6.0.1. The phone spec says it has Bluetooth LE.

I guess you weren't around in 2013 that there was a "Open all 4 Windows" function at the top of the fob, where every now and again you'd get to the car with 1 or more of the Windows rolled down.
Do you have location services set to always for the app? That's how BT 4.0 works on iOS.Several people have made mention of "leaving the app running." I'm wondering what exactly that means. I have an iPhone SE. Only one app can be in the foreground at any one time. When I switch to another app, I have no control over the status of the previous app. I'm uncertain what iOS does with apps that are not the foreground one. I can force close an app by double-clicking on the Home button and then sliding the app up, but I've been told by Apple that there's never any need to do that unless an app is malfunctioning.
Does "leave the app running" mean leaving it on-screen when I lock the phone screen?
I never have the Tesla app in the foreground unless I'm trying to use it. ("Trying" because 9 times out of 10 the car has no cell signal when it's in my garage and the app cannot connect.) But I never force-close it. So far (knock on wood!) it always opens the car. I even discovered that with the car locked I can disconnect the charge cable (but only if I have the phone with me). I don't have to open the door to unplug the cable.
my 6 year old Prius does all of these things, including the trunk hatch with a tap on the sensor, with the SKS (Smart Key System), a small key fob that never leaves my pocket. You NEVER have to touch the key fob. As long as the key fob is in range, the car can be locked or unlocked by touching a simple sensor on the door handle. Tesla really complicated things with their smartphone application.But if there was a way to lock it with a tap somewhere, I'l like that a lot more than the Walk-Away-Unlock. Because no matter what, this is going to fail occasionally and leave the car unlocked. Probably after you've gotten so used to it that you don't think twice about it.

Leaving app running on iPhone means don’t force close.
For last two days the phone key has worked reliably if I don’t force close the app. If app is force closed and car is in deep sleep then phone key does not work. I have an iPhone X.
I don't think that is really comparable with the issues that are being discussed here. As one owner, stated, "I love my car, when I am able to get in it." That is a big issue.
