Really, that tip was helpful, the last time i my model s tesla key fob’s battery was dead, I order another on amazon, and some tips online here on tesla key fob programming. At first, I was a little bit skeptical given that I have not done such a thing before on my tesla. However, the process was really simple and the guide on the site was helpful.
