Losing your car keys can be worrisome, but Tesla owner Brand Dalaly does not have to worry about losing his keys anymore.

Dalaly took extraordinary measures to guarantee that he always had his keys with him, or more accurately, "inside" his hand. The Tesla fanboy has recently been implanted with a contactless, Tesla-unlocking microchip located in the flesh of his right hand!

NEW YORK, NY - JULY 05: The inside of a Tesla vehicle is viewed as it sits parked in a new Tesla showroom and service center in Red Hook, Brooklyn on July 5, 2016 in New York City. 

Implanting The Chip

Dalaly, who is a member of the beta group testing this particular NFC VivoKey chip, known as the Apex chip, revealed in a graphic video the piercing process he underwent to implant the chip and his subsequent attempt to successfully unlock his car.

"The first one was a little bit smaller so it wasn't as intense as shoving that giant rod into my hand. The first one came preloaded into a larger syringe. They pushed the syringe in and they popped in the chip similar to how they would microchip a dog," he explained the process in a statement with Teslarati

For almost a month, the first chip implant burned and hurt him. His hand was sedated with lidocaine for the second one, which is needed to unlock his Tesla with the use of a four-gauge needle, according to Brandon.

He clarified that the chips carry out entirely distinct activities. They can be used for a number of things, including access control, data storage, skin-lighting, or cryptocurrency storage.

The chip Brandon uses to unlock his Tesla is still in beta testing as of writing. Specifically, Brandon utilizes a contactless NFC secure element chip called the VivoKey Apex to unlock his Tesla car.

He revealed that the first chip is the key to his house and contains his portfolio, contact information card, medical records, Covid vaccination card, and many more, according to Teslarati's report.

Any cell phone may scan the chip, which provides a channel through which one can access the information.

Wireless Installation Into The Body

The beta group, which Dalal is part of, has about 100 members. The chips implanted in his flesh support secure transactions and Java card applets.

The company that put this together essentially has its own app store where one uses these chips to install programs into the body wirelessly.

One of the company's apps offered a Tesla key card, and since he owns a Tesla car, he decided to install the app and uses it as an alternative for his Bluetooth key or key card.

He also told Teslarati that religious people on Facebook had accused him of worshipping Satan because of the implants. In response, he said, "I just don't want to have to worry about forgetting my car keys. I'm not over here worshiping Satan."
