Yes, you can unlock your car with the NFC keycards (or app via NFC), the bluetooth fobs or bluetooth phone, with no connectivity for either.

The problem that happened last time was that people opened the app to do something and logged out to try and fix it, thus clearing their credentials, and then can't log back in, and cant log back in to reauthenticate their device.

They should add some friction to the logout process. Like a server API call to allow you to logout.

So you can invalidate your keys (not the phone app) via your phone by mistake?

No, the keys are fixed to the car, not managed by the app. You can delete them only AFAIK from within the car UI. And IIRC it requires you have at least two active at all times.
