PaaK for both EVs I own. Very rarely carry the key cards or Rivian fob. ID is in phone case and use phone payments most of the time (do carry a backup credit card and some cash in both cars if anything). Hope I don't regret it some day. lol

I always use the fob, with a card in my wallet for backup. Never had to use the card. I don’t like always having to have my phone with me. I have a cellular Apple Watch to cover for the phone. The fob works great! Just don’t put it on your belt loop. It can come off and you will be buying a new one. I know. This happened to me. My current fob is super glued shut. I attached a small chain to it for security. Hook the chain on a belt loop and throw the fob in my pocket. Easy, peasy. If need be, it’s no problem manipulating the buttons on the fob without having to take it out of my pocket.

Early on, I was Jonesing for a true Waak. The current WaaK is almost worthless. In its current interation, it requires the phone to be nearby. It is not independent of the phone and it is slow. And, it does not act as a true key to make the car run. In an ideal world, it would be nice if the watch was an actual fully functioning key, independent of the phone. It would basically be another version of the fob. Actually, I’ve gotten very used to the fob, so I’m now less concerned about the whole Waak thing.

I'm old school. I use PAAK and carry the card in my wallet. Never had to use the card other than at valet.
That is me as well.

Something funny happened last week at work. I gotto work and plugged in and when I was walking away I heard the chirp that it is locked.....what I didn't realize is that I must have pushed the "open frunk" on my app. About 30 minutes later a coworker came by my cube ans said "Did you know yourhood is open?". I said, "thanks, I will shut it". I got out the app and navigated to the to close the hood. He looked at me and said "Are you serious, you can shut it from your app?". I said yes and and did it.

I work in a secure area so nothing was taken because I don't have anything in the frunk.
