I got a almost new 2021 last year and there's no key hole for the door so when the key fob battery died in the middle of the winter I was stuck outside looking up on YouTube how to unlock my car . Turns out you have to pry off a piece of plastic that I ended up breaking to use my key to unlock the door . It also sets off an alarm when you open the car that way . Who thought that was a good idea ! To make things worse it was like -30 C and I had my 5 year old with me because we where sliding.

That's why you read the manual, especially for a complex peace of tech, when you buy the thing. Just because you didn't bother to look up how stuff works doesn't make it bad. This one's on you.

Or how about you don’t fix something that ain’t broken. This push to start shit is a cancer

I fucking love my push to start.

It’s easier, more secure, and cool to boot.

If my key fob dies I just stick it in a hole on the steering column and it starts right up. The door key is easily accessible in the fob, and the batteries aren’t difficult to replace regardless.
