With Tesla's approach, passive entry is possible without the use of a standard key fob by using a cell phone as a key fob.

It provides access to the Tesla Mobile App, which allows users to identify their car's owners and start their car without using a key.

However, relay assaults can be used by thieves to trick the entry system and enter the car.

While other automakers' models are equally susceptible to these attacks, their systems do not provide passive access like Tesla's does.

Owners of Model 3 automobiles should be aware of this issue since thieves can trick the entry system by rerouting connections between their phones and vehicles.

In addition, extended trips and heavy loads don't degrade battery performance because to Tesla's active battery management .
