Yeah, they're credit card sized so I usually carry one in my wallet. Mostly to give to a valet if I need it. Some people have melted them down into fun key chain fogs. My gf has it as a ring.

I am a fan of a minimal wallet. I don't carry stuff I can do with my phone.
The card is a millimeter thick. It will fit in a minimalist wallet.
You can say that about 20 different cards individually and suddenly your minimal wallet isn't very minimal anymore

But since Tesla's app can spontaneously stop working, might be worth sucking it up and carrying the card anyway

For sure, IDK if my dad broke me, but I always try to have a backup for everything. Keys included.
Two is one and one is none!
Your dad fixed you and is smart.
Wait.. people melt the cards down into shapes? And they still work?
Yeah, you dissolve the plastic in a solution then take the antenna and form it into the shape you want.
