Why does the key need to be a keycard? I would like to see one shaped like a ring, a bracelet or something else that can easily be worn so it doesn’t get lost. Let’s think outside the keycard. Anyone else? Thoughts?

I almost never use a keycard, the Phone as a Key feature works exceptionally well.

I am buying a couple backup cards so I can convert one into something I can add to the necklace I wear most of the time. Either that or I'm taping the card to the underside of the car.

Not that I know of, that would be quite handy!
That's kind of surprising considering there's a Fitbit phone app that can even summon. Well... It claims to.

The only thing i want under my wetsuit is my apple watch. I would like the Tesla app on my apple watch. Is it?
Tesla remote app. It has more functions than the Tesla app and works on the watch.

I see 2 in the App Store, one for about $30 and the other for about $12. The first is called ‘remote’ while the second is ‘watch app for Tesla’. They both boast a lot of features but I didn’t see anything about lock/unlock on the ‘remote’ app. Yesterday I had my wife lock the car with my phone inside and then I shoved the key card into my wetsuit. I need a better solution.

A microchip embedded below my waistline could ensure that my CT starts only when my lower body is in the driver's seat.

With all my vehicles, I have a valet key or metal non-electric key of some kind. When I go in the water, I tie the key on a string and use it as a necklace under my wetsuit. With a Tesla, I was thinking I'd drill a hole in the key card and do the same thing. Also, this company makes rings. https://www.teslaring.com/
