Really? Thats a ridiculous requirement.
I mean sure, everyone has a smartphone these days, but mandating a Android/iOS phone app is scary: What if my phone is discharged? I can't get into my car to charge it??

As someone who preordered a Model 3, I'm now kind of worried I'll have to get a cheap Android phone to act as a key...or just give up on Sailfish/Harmattan altogether and get an Android flagship. Is there any possibility of this app working as a key for the Tesla Model 3?
The API isn't open, I can try reverse engineering it with someone who has a Model 3.
No one I know has the car delivered to them yet.
