Which car has a card-shaped key?
2 Answers
The car key that is shaped like a card could possibly be the backup unlocking key for the Tesla Model 3. Here is some related information about the Tesla Model 3: 1. Feature Introduction: The Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so the car's size will be reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on its range. The Model 3 is expected to have a range of around 320 kilometers. It eliminates the ultra-cool but impractical falcon-wing doors, removes the 3-second acceleration from 0 to 60 mph, and may also remove the autopilot feature. 2. Product Design: Most of the designs are new. This includes a new battery architecture and a completely new car structure.
When it comes to card-style car keys, Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y are prime examples. Their key cards resemble credit cards—simply place them near the door handle for NFC-based unlocking or locking, offering ultra-lightweight convenience. Toyota’s Prius and some Camry models also adopted similar card keys, branded as Smart Key Cards, which fit neatly in wallets but require proximity to the door’s sensor zone. Luxury brands like Lexus and BMW offer digital keys, primarily integrated into apps, though their physical backup cards remain functional. These card keys rely on NFC technology, with water resistance as a perk but susceptibility to signal interference as a drawback, making smartphone app backups an emerging trend. In short, such keys modernize driving, ideal for those who dislike carrying bulky key fobs.
