Well, I didn't know it before I bought tesla (and have since sold it), but it's really convenient to pair the phone to the car and let it act as a key. I never had to worry about getting the keys, I just took my phone and it opened the doors.

Also I have to say, setting charge times remotely is mighty handy, if one pays the market/pool prices for electricity which fluctuate from hour to hour.

How far is your car parked from your home? I'd be happy if these features only worked within BT range.
It can also be nice to switch climate control on a few minutes before you enter the car.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, it sounds like a reasonable reason.
