Tesla App For Apple Watch. +1 Add Apple Watch. I used to have a VW and go running with my key in a little pocket in my CW-X thigh, plus Apple Watch with Cellular.

A phone is only a key if its running the Tesla app - and I don't think the Tesla app is compatible with the Apple Watch, so not likely to work until they release a watch version. That would make life much easier though wouldn't it. Love x 1; run-the-joules Active Member.
