Software Engineer Implants Tesla Model 3 Key Chip Into Her Arm
A software engineer biohacks her body by injecting a modified Tesla valet card RFID chip into her arm to unlock her car. Her original plan to reprogram an existing implant fails due to the automaker's security restrictions.
Software engineer Amie DD bypasses the traditional Tesla Model 3 keycard and smartphone app by implanting the car's RFID chip directly into her left arm. She carefully removes the chip from the valet card using acetone, seals it inside a biopolymer, and has a body modification professional inject it through a hollow needle.
This unconventional approach serves as a backup plan after her initial idea hits a roadblock. Amie originally attempts to reprogram an existing RFID implant already in her hand with the Tesla's Java applet, but Tesla's strict security protocols prevent the override from working.
The released video documents the dramatic injection process but omits the final result, leaving viewers to wonder if the body modification successfully unlocks the vehicle. Amie is no stranger to biohacking, as she already uses the existing chip in her hand for basic access control tasks like unlocking her front door.
