That's handy! Tesla driver implants chip in his hand as car key

How often do you struggle to find your car keys? It could be really annoying at times and a Tesla driver has found a unique solution to take care of this problem.

Brandon Dalaly, the owner of a Tesla vehicle, had got a chip implanted into his right hand, which would allow him to unlock his vehicle - with ease.

Though it might look extreme, Dalaly took the help of a professional body piercer to get this chip implanted in his hand so that he never has to look for his car keys again. Moreover, this chip is coated with a biocompatible substance.


In a video shared on his YouTube channel and Twitter profile, Dalaly could be seen getting a VivoKey Apex chip implanted on his arm with the help of a professional piercer after spending $400.



A VivoKey Apex chip is based on the same technology which is used in Apple Pay and it is completely contactless. Since uploading, the video has gone viral. Dalaly had got his first chip implanted in his right hand, which is his house key.

While talking to media site Teslarati, Dalaly said, "The whole idea was that I would have my house key in my left hand and my car key in my right hand."

Reacting to the video, one user commented, "Ummm prerty weird, but it sucks to have something implanted that can't do more than opening a door."

"Let you start the car as well. So no need to have keys or the phone with you," said another user.

A few days ago, a TikTok video went viral, where a woman, also known as 'Chip Girl' on the app, could be seen unlocking her home doors with the help of a chip implanted on her hand.

In the video, the woman said that this chip had enabled her to unlock electronic doors in her house without needing keys.

She just walks up to the sensors and waves her chipped hand to open up the doors.
