The cost of the procedure was $400 and Dalaly can now use the back of his hand to unlock his Tesla car.

When asked by a Twitter follower why he implanted the chip, Dalaly explained, “It’s convenient (no pun intended) because my phone’s Bluetooth power management is so aggressive that it doesn’t always unlock the car. So that helps in cases like this.”
