Tesla owner Brandon Dalaly is part of a beta group of around 100 people that are testing a new computer chip called a Vivokey Apex that uses NFC tech like the chips used to enable the “tap-to-pay” feature on iPhones, but he’s using it to unlock his car.
Dalaly posted a video online showing him rubbing his hand on his Tesla for a few seconds, and the car responding to the chip. The procedure cost him $400, but the chip is upgradeable to any future Tesla vehicles he buys.
