I didn't even cry! My year long Tesla Model 3 bio implant hack project wouldn’t be possible without Amal at vivokey encasing my chip implant in biopolymer and Pineapple to install it safely. My cyber punk upgrades are complete!
This is Pineapple(that’s his name)! He is the one that installed my Tesla Model 3 implant! He was amazing, detailed, explained all the steps to me. His studio was clean and sanitized. I was so nervous leading up to this, and he made the process so amazing!! And we geeked out about 3DPrinting Thanks to my video wizard Howard for helping capture this adventure!
Videos will be up next week!
Also I will be at DefCon next week, if you're around and want to chat about this adventure ping me on twitter! @amiedoubled
My Model 3 just got the new software update v9(including an easter egg game: Atari)!
I noticed that the car said that I would now be able to program my own valet keycards myself. Which could be good news since I'm working on using the chip implant from the valet card.
Strange though, when I looked through Tesla's Software Version 9.0 on their webpage, there is no mention of this new feature. So I figured I would try it out and see if it actually worked.
My little brother wanted to help me out. My dad told him, "You can't get one." My brother's reply was, "A Tesla, or a chip implant?" hahahahaha
I had a Skype call with Amal from Dangerous Things and VivoKey. He was the one that made the implant I currently have (so that pretty much makes him my cyborg father right?)
Amal was the first person I've shared all my Tesla hack documentation with(which was a bit never racking). Thanks for the encouragement and advice, this is going to freaking work!! I'm so excited!!
You can tell by looking at the valet key where the chip is located. I put one my Model 3 valet card(that had already been synced with my car from the dealership), and dropped it in a glass container with acetone. It took about 1.5 hours to completely dissolve the plastic. I also dropped my phone in the acetone jar...damn it Hahahaha
I was curious what information is public available just from scanning the Tesla valet key
The Java Card Open Platform is interesting, because it is a IBM smart card developed by a team and Germany and I've used the java card development kit for mobile development access control and some stuff with LEGO Dimensions.
I've been working on my body implant Tesla hack for about 2 months, and I have had reservations about sharing my work, after discussing with a few friends and strangers about my project at #supercon last weekend I decided I would finally share my project progress. Thanks to Amal, Andy, Drew and Will for encouraging me that "all work sucks in the beginning" and I should just share my ramblings.
In-Game Hint about me since I'm new around here:
I'm that adult that still plays with LEGO, and I ramble a lot of Twitter.
I always take photos of my projects with LEGO(you know, for size reference: because I couldn't find a banana).
