Would You? Tesla Model 3 Owner Implants RFID Chip In Her Arm To To Unlock The Car

There many ways to unlock a Tesla Model 3 — keycard, key fob, Tesla app — and one owner found a new one with a biohack: implanting a RFID chip into her arm to unlock her Model 3 with it.

A biohacker going by “Amie DD” on Hackaday released a video (embedded below) about how she extracted the RFID chip out of her Model 3 keycard and created an implant that she injected into her arm.

While it may sound crazy to inject a piece of technology under your skin, it’s actually similar to the implants we inject pets with to identify them.

Looking at that woman I would suspect she has done far more extreme if not weird things besides embedding computer chips in her body.

Hopefully she took the Tesla for a long lease.

The RFIDs can be reprogrammed for any Model 3 easily without going to a service center. You just need one of the original key cards for both cars.

While it sounds extreme today she is way ahead of the curve. From our pockets (wallets, keys, identification papers, etc) to our phone to an implanted chip to open doors, start cars, pay for coffee, etc etc.

This is taking it too far, especially since iPhone-style face unlocking will be possible in the near future.

I like my women to have much bigger implants!

Hell NO. I can't support that goon Musk but would like to see Tesla thrive under different leadership.
