This long tail is why e. g. the Model 3 uses a touch screen for most controls, why the rear glass extends far into the roof, and many other seemingly-"premium" features of the Model 3. Relay attack car theft. The measures that are being worked through are part of broader measures to ensure data security. In contrast, in a relay attack an attacker intercepts communication between two parties and then, without viewing or manipulating it, relays it to another device. Putting GPS into a dedicated key fob is probably not even too expensive - car key fobs regularly cost hundreds of dollars to replace, even if their BOM is trivial, and a cheap GPS watch is approaching $100.
