Tesla owner in Detroit spends $400 implanting his key into his hand so he’ll never forget it

This Tesla owner in Detroit implanted his car key into his hand.

He said he kept forgetting his key card everywhere, so he decided, in his own words, to take matters into his own hands.

Literally, as it turns out.

He also answered the obvious question about what’s going to happen when he decides to sell his car.

Answering the obvious question about his Tesla chip implant

Brandon Dalaly, a Tesla owner in Detroit, spent $400 to have his key card implanted into his right hand.

He made the announcement in a video he posted on X.

You can check it out here but make sure you’re not eating anything while watching because, quite frankly, we found the clip a bit, we’re going to choose a polite word here, ‘unappetizing’.

A lot of people responded in the comments, and one of the most recurring and obvious questions was: ‘what is going to happen when you sell your car?’

Dalaly has apparently thought of everything because he said the chip was not necessarily tied to a specific car, which means he can reprogram it if he buys a new Tesla.

It still begs two more questions, though.

First, what if he decides to get a new car that isn’t a Tesla?

And second, what if Tesla decides to change the key card system and replace it with something else?

We got in touch with him to ask him those two questions, so stay tuned for his response.

Elon Musk, for once, didn’t respond

Dalaly shared the clip on X and tagged Elon Musk but, for once, the billionaire CEO of Tesla did not actually respond.

This is more unusual than people think, because Musk regularly interacts with people when they post about Tesla on X, and not just celebrities.

Not long ago, he replied to the guy who’d built a working Cybertruck crafted entirely out of wood.

On another occasion, he replied to a man who’d modified his Cybertruck to make it look like Warthog, a fictional vehicle from the Halo video game franchise.

Of course he sometimes also replies to slightly more ‘high-profile’ people and entities like the police department in Texas and Snoop Dogg.

His responses are almost always very short and cryptic.

But no comment at all is certainly unusual for the billionaire CEO.
