I think something like NFC or encrypted RFID with the reader in the car would be nice, but would rely on the car having power which is another failure point. Really the best is just to have the fallback of a physical key like a lot of non-Tesla fobs have. Tech for convenience, physical for reliability.

Mostly I think it's crazy that Tesla's require an internet connection to unlock "from the phone". You can't just connect directly. It spawned an It's Always Sunny episode when one of the guys had his Tesla fob stop working and then parked in a parking garage and "locked himself out" because the car didn't have signal and it took days to resolve.
