Good eye! The traditional key at last explained. Doors too?

Evtruth said the doors have a key hole too. So I guess the question is whether the ignition is FOB only meaning we have to carry both.

My '16 CRV has a traditional key hole in the driver's door. I've never used it, not even once. Its presence on the Slate is probably just a backup in case the fob battery dies.

Bingo.

FINALLY an EV that gives you an easily accessible way to get back into it / get things left inside it if the battery dies! Sick of seeing stories about people's batteries going and having to smash windows / have roadside send a jump box to get at babies left inside or something.

The 12v on the wife's 21 died and the trickle charger attached to the "access" wires was not strong enough to pop the Frunk. Had to roll the Harley over and jump the MachE funk with its battery. Best part is I decided to take the opportunity to clean the jets on the Harley carb and put a brush bristle thru the idle jet. Took my daughter on her first motorcycle ride. So in a way the 12V thing can be good.
