Brandon Dalaly doesn't need to worry about making sure he's got his house and car keys when he leaves: Wherever he goes, there are his keys.

Brandon Dalaly doesn't need to worry about making sure he's got his house and car keys when he leaves: Wherever he goes, there are his keys. Brandon recently got his second chip implant, this time it was the key to his Tesla.

Dalaly's story has picked up steam recently after he posted video of his Tesla key implant. He told FOX 2 that he's always been a tech enthusiast and wanted to be on the cutting edge of technology so he started with his first digital key in his left hand. It gets him in the front door and so much more.

"So after that was inserted and the swelling went down, I’m able to open up the front and back door of my house. I can walk up to people and have them tap their phone to my hand and instantly transfer my contact information in my portfolio, my Covid vaccine card," he said.

But why stop there? He's got another hand in need of something else to carry, right?

"So I thought how cool would it be if I could leave my house with no car key and no house key?" he said.

A few weeks ago, Dalaly got his second chip implant, this time in his right hand. It's his Tesla key and tapping on the driver's door and inside allow him to unlock and start his Tesla

"It’s a perfect back up. You can never forget it, it never breaks, something that won’t fail you," he said.

He did all of it without having to even consult a doctor.

"The chips themselves are around $200 to $300 and the install is only about $100 because you can go to a local piercing shop who will agree to do the installation," he said. "All the programming and coding putting the apps on the chips - that’s all done by me."

Brandon's not done. He wants to have another chip installed too, this time to get instant reads on his body.

"It would be inserted near the breast and then you can tap your phone to your chest and instantly get temperature readings," he said.

Brandon is hoping his Tesla chip gets the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

During the summer holiday season, the police in the city of Hagen in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) set up a checkpoint to check the safety of vehicles.

During the summer holiday season, the police in the city of Hagen in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) set up a checkpoint to check the safety of vehicles. During the inspection, law enforcement officers drew attention to the white BMW 3 Series Touring of the E30 series - more precisely, the “three tails” of the 3 Series Touring were in sight. Namely: the E30 station wagon pulled a white trailer of the same series, which, in turn, consisted of two rear parts of the E30 models.

Trailers made from the back of a station wagon are not uncommon - and of course they always look good with a "tractor" of the same series. However, such trailers are often just a wagon cut in half with one axle - the front is formed by a sheet metal wall or, in more noble versions, a wall with a window. In the case of the two-axle example seen at Hagen, the two rears of the station wagon were welded together, with doors welded from the original rear side doors neatly placed in the middle of the side walls. Eight wheels with identical rims completed the image of this stylish caravan.

The Hagen police officers carefully examined the inside and outside of the trailer and found that the owner had good taste. The mattress in the trailer looked quite comfortable, officials said. They wished the driver and his family a happy journey and a pleasant stay.

In Germany, the caravan must have a general inspection sticker and be insured - from the point of view of insurance, the camping trailer is also an independent vehicle. In addition, the state levies a tax on caravans - since vehicles do not have an engine, the tax rate is calculated depending on the weight: for every 200 kg, 7.50 euros go to the state treasury annually. But in this case, the police did not find fault, they let the driver through and posted this photo on their social networks.

The reaction of users to this post was enthusiastic - they praised the Hagen police officers for an adequate response to the "homemade" and found that the motor home really looks good.
