I would like to publicly apologize Rich, I didn't realize that wasn't you who was kicked out of the event. I swear in the original video footage someone called whoever that man was "Rich Rebuilds," I hope you can understand.
Rich DON'T rebuild!!!!!!!!
Car Wizard... *facepalm*
Still peddling electric scooters on Slickdeals?
Sure you didn’t 😜
I'm pretty sure it was a pasty white guy from Kansas.
Rich is the reason I wanted a Tesla.
Tesla is the reason I don't want a Tesla anymore.
2nd that.
Well said
Rich is the reason I watched this video and you are the reason I posted a comment detailing what a ****er you are!
@@robbiewilliams6171 What's with the self-censorship? Scared of the boogeyman? lol. Just say what's on your mind dude.
He breaks their rules then cries victim.
I would rather watch 1 guy showing how to fix/repair/rebuild a tesla than 500+ people showing top 10 features of model 3.
Agreed. Knowing how to fix stuff is actually useful. Idk how much money I've held onto simply because I chose to fix my stuff instead of replace it.
What he said
@@thesilentobserver93 Same here. Yes it is, I completely agree. Also when you fix it yourself & you know the job is done right for years to come.
Ppl are still showing off features of the 3 to this day! Lol it's a boring ass car

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
🤣
Usually I skip thru sponsored content, but this guy is so entertaining, I watched thru the manscaped ad without even realizing it was an ad at first
I know, this guy is way too smooth 😂
Forcing class on crass, Rich Rebuilds....Manscaped's ad campaign.
Don't tell me you skip the Cars and Bids ones
@@jeffrycarrascal 🤯
Damn. This was actually sad. Our boy's literally one of the best Tesla channels on TH-cam and he's been done dirty.
That's Tesla for ya
DIRTY.... I only know about the Tesla internals because of Rich.
@@NoNegotiations It is one person at Tesla who does not actually watch this channel and has the wrong idea, I would bet...
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 no it's all the fanbois who probably email bomb Tesla while they are also trying to get the videos taken off of youtube.
Jonathan Mayer really? I would be considered a Tesla fan boy and this is bullshit what they’re doing! There’s a part where right is right and wrong is wrong. If he has legitimately referred other people to Tesla‘s and he should be able to have his referrals accounted for.
"Don't fix it, just buy a new car", so Tesla really is the Apple of the car world.
lol
That's exactly it !!
This quote really has me rethinking the cyber truck won't be really a work truck, more like a fashion truck.
@@rayrayrun You're right--it does look like a fashion truck and not a work truck. Who wants to buy a vehicle, crash it, and the mfr says: "Sorry, you'll have to buy a new one. We don't want to fix it, even if it costs only 10% of the vehicle's value." ?
You just now realized this?
All manufacturers are headed in this direction. They've been very vocal about it.
Thank's Rich. You are a soldier brother.
Actually, it's the other way. He's the brother of a soldier, that's why Rich is his mom's second favorite son. 😆
This is the most love/hate relationship between company/costumer I ever see
And he calls Tesla fanboys simps. "Dunno Rich, you're the one with 4 Teslas..."
After owning a Tesla I've become a fanboy and would not care if someone called me out as a fanboy. I'm also like Rich and will not make excuses for Tesla just because I love the company, products or that I'm a shareholder.
I love Rich's honestly and leaving his emotions out of his relationship with Tesla. It makes what he says much more credible.
@@elguapo1690 a simp wouldn’t say anything negative to whatever it is they’re simping for it would be the complete opposite
@@elguapo1690 well, he LS swaps his Tesla. Definitely not a Teslasimp
@Juan ruvalcaba. Well, actually he's not a Tesla customer...he buys junkers and then expects Tesla to sell him the parts he needs. He's just p*ssed they won't.
How ironic, an “eco friendly” company won’t sell you parts to recycle their vehicle.
It's always for the money
It's always about the Benjamins, they feign higher moral principles to reel you in. I have no problem with doing something for profit but the phony virtual signaling would automatically keep me from buying a product no matter how good it is.

Rich, keep the fight going for the right to repair, its so important.
Thank you for not acting like a victim.
I wish you massive success!!!!
Wdym
This video is all about being a victim and shaming Tesla at the same time AND calling defenders of Teslas policies simps.
Thank you for calling me a simp because you dont feel privileged enough to get parts directly from Teslas factories.
Resellers exist for a reason.
"I called Elon, wheres my parts" lul. Privileged enough?
Im a shareholder too, that doesnt make me more privileged, just like this guy.
Im a shareholder because this is a silly good company with a very good strategy for survival with insanely good products.
//Simp who doesnt own ANY Tesla car. This guy owns how many? 15?? Bitch please.....
6:40 Holy smoothest ad placement😮🤣
Apple told Tesla "this is how you treat the customer" Tesla "done".
On gang
Apple has great customer service, what are you talking about?
@@faxxzc They are talking about Apple trying it hardest to not let you fix/repair your phone. also, apple slows down their older phones so people buy the newest apple product an addition apple hardware is very much overpriced, in that it costs much more than both its production cost justifies and its competition sets. so basically what I mean here that apple is genuinely overpricing its products just for their logo.
Ian Shattock i know they‘re expensive, but deliver top notch service. recently my gf‘s iphone X acted up again and they said since its the third time they replaced her iphone, this time they‘re going to give her the 11 pro. Everything at no extra cost. That‘s what i call customer service
@@faxxzc Expensive proprietary garbage, closed ecosystem, planned obsolescence (lets not even get started on itunes)...
You can treat your customers like cattle with wallets and still have good customer service. Tesla certainly seems to be borrowing the playbook.
Seems like Tesla violated their own good faith clause.
Which time??
@@moncorp1 yes
Best Segway to sponsored ad I have ever seen. Flawless transitions.
"I'm nobody". You are very, very precious technician understanding things must be repaired and your work is really waking people up. This is who you are. Thanks for educating those who were not aware high tech recycling is very possible, without greedy companies.
I can't find words to tell what i think about things Tesla is doing to you, car owners and many others. It is hard to find another example like this.
As both an owner and investor, so disappointed in how they are treating someone who is trying to better the industry. Here is to hoping they make it right for you.
Worse is how they're trying to break the dealership model, but they're giving NADA all the ammo they need to never allow this direct sales model to ever happen again.
@@isocuda boo hoo, the dealership model lmao. Other companies can continue 1900's tactics if they want to, how is Tesla stopping them?
@@isocuda Idiot.
AK, I wouldn't try holding my breath on that one!!!
@@Rsmith420 Tesla is stopping them by making solar and electrical appliances and they make cars too.
Thanks to Rich I’m never buying a Tesla until they fix their shit and give Rich his Roadster
@The Catmother Why are you wasting your time watching videos about Tesla then?

Ruva Ruva cause he wants to tf
Ruva Ruva To support Rich’s channel, for his humour and to be up to date with his Tesla issues.
@@2243cbl2 Do you even have a car? lol Tesla is now one of the most valuable companies in the world, I think they'll manage without you....
Totally agree with you. Just trying to cancel the hate we know comes with being bold and holding people accountable. Really appreciate what you’re doing. So informative and you’re probably the only reason many people are getting better service from Tesla.
“I’m not a millionaire, I own 15 Tesla’s”
I think like 8 of them were crushed already haha
I caught that also, lol!
@_. and...your point is?
Rich is the Louis Rossman of the Tesla world. So naturally instead of trying to work with him they'll try and screw him over at every turn
Right to repair electronics would probably be 90% of a Tesla repair issue.
Louis Rossman covered Nebraskas passing of Right to Repair legislation.
Greedy bastards
Companies don't like it when someone comes up and says:"but that 100 dollar part can be bought from the OEM for 15 bucks."
@@consciouscool They seem to think only they have knowledge of how their cars work and how to fix them. with their reasoning the person who invented Basket ball should be the best player in history
You helped massively increase Tesla exposure & that’s how they repay you.
Tesla would be fine without Rich.
The exposure is that Teslas are junk, and that you basically have to own a Tesla repair shop, if you want a reliable one...
@@stevemcgowen That's not really accurate, if you watch the videos the only repairs he does are to ones that are damaged, and then like annual service for older vehicles that still drive fine (like replacing break pads). (They did one video on some model X service and pointed out there were a bunch of little things that need work, because it was over-designed, etc)
i mean i would actually consider getting a tesla after watching rich rebuilds
After watching how they treat customers I won't be buying a Tesla probably ever...
Just found your channel. I rant about our "throw away" society all the time to my students. I like what I've seen so far. Keep it up.
We need more people like you in this life rich
I'm a Tesla owner I love the product I can't stand the customer service so I fully understand your story and appreciate it
Ram has great customer service!
Same
@@Sanisani9 my 2019 ram has been in the shop for 42 days and still no eta on when my parts will be available it took 5 weeks to get them to even tell me this. 42 days waiting on truck that only has15000 miles is bs... And getting them to call you back is near impossible
@MrTv20013
The despicable way Tesla treated Rich says all there is to know about a two bit company that is more interested in its share price than it is in customer service.
Any decent CEO would accept criticisms,investigate them and offer solutions or a work around.
Just wait until your Tesla is 8-10 years old and it needs a new battery. It will cost you more than the heap of 'eco' rusty junk sat on your driveway.
@@rockychiles Well you should wait and get 2020 model. Everytime new model comes out, wait couple years till they fix all the recalls. By the way new ram model looks so sick I have 2017 model and no issues whatsoever.

"What do you need those for?"
Lug nut covers? Gee, I dunno. It's not like the name tells you exactly what they're for, so I couldn't even possibly begin to guess what anyone needs those for. 🙄
I still can’t believe how Tesla don’t see how valuable rich would be working directly with Tesla .
Tesla need Rich about as much as Apple need Louis Rossmann
RenoSoNY I know 😔
would he be treated differently if Elon realizes him? or he did and didn't care
Bad faith... what could that possibly mean if your referral is for authentic Tesla sales. If Tesla doesn't want their cars to be recycled/rebuilt/restored, then that is bad faith.
He is literally hacking Tesla's software and selling the hacks to others. He even had a workaround on his Tesla to get free supercharging even though Tesla disabled it as it was unsafe on that car to supercharge.
@@evthink uh oh a tesla muskteer
DEBOSS WAS HERE.... OH MY LAAAAAWD.
@@evthinkNice fiction.
@@the_modfied_car4903 Sure, Tell me which one of my points is wrong. Not to mention Rich took salvage Tesla battery cells and used an unsafe charger to directly charge them. This caused a fire in his shed. The way he made the video thumbnail was like implying his Tesla caught on fire. Reality was he was using salvaged battery cells without bms charged using unsafe charger. So Rich is not the angel he claims to be in his video.
So far not in such a terrible situation like Rich with my Model 3, but this will still be my first and last Tesla. Too many weird things going on with this company.
“you can snitch on your friends through this website” 😂😒

@@MelodyOo They have a electric car already but it's a short range car that's only sold in Europe.
That's great and all but it seems like this made many junk yards adopt a stance where they just won't sell you any airbags even if you can prove it's not recalled :/
@@ifan3270 pretty sure selling used airbags is illegal anyway in most places. And for good reason.
Thank you sir for being a voice of action doing your best to show people anything is possible.
Holy shit. That was the smoothest (no pun intended) ad segue I've ever seen. I didn't realize that was the sponsor portion of the video until like 20 seconds in.
Rich: I won't be calling Tesla fanboys 'simps'. I'll call them Musketeers.
*5 minutes later* Rich: So, the Tesla Simps started attacking me once again
Musksimpteers?
If it walks like a duck, take like a duck, must be a Tesla simp

You're a funny dude and sharing info like this is an example of what responsible citizens should be doing in "good faith". Keep it up mate

Adrian ABSOLUTELY!
Seriously! this guy has a great sense of humor and look how hate do we have for him. 2.1k dislikes!
What he said! Also, here I am just watching a car video and all of a sudden your dropping lotion on yer ball, with ball deodorant! Literally had me rolling!
You're so funny and smart, Rich. The editing you do is brilliant. And the rebuilding and whole movement you're creating about "Right to Repair" is so important for the future of this country and the environment.
Loved the Elon Musk in bed with him meme. That was so cringe.
The videos from you and sam and filled with information, and each of you can transition in/out of commercials with
such ease.
Imagine how many people have these exact same issues but don’t have a platform to speak out on
Yeah I won't be able to buy a tesla until they fix their service and parts policy, I wouldn't hesitate to buy their stock now, plenty of people who want to be seen in the latest and greatest despite the terrible ownership experience.
Imagine all the people who have real problems and no car at all.
Tesla got clowned. Love it
This Right to Repair thing is getting more and more public. Should search for Louis Rossmann too.
This man's transitions to ads are becoming god-tier. I didn't notice he was highlighting a sponsor until it was almost over. As always, love the humor in your content.
i didnt realize until i saw this
I think that his transitions were solidly the best I have ever encountered on this site. It is actually really nice to see that effort was put in to make them as organic as possible.

Have you seen their share price though? Obviously it's working
Any company that disables in software, a function just to resell it back in a used car, I'm out. Ain't gonna deal with that..
Themadoutbacker They also want to “license” FSD to YOU, and if you choose to upgrade to a newer Tesla - how does that go? Does your FSD transfer to the new vehicle? I’m not so sure. It’s supposedly NOT going to transfer to a new owner - which means you lose 7 GRAND when you sell the thing. Or, if you want to get out of Tesla altogether, you’ve got a license to a $$$7000 software package that is pretty much useless to you now.
What if you give the car to your kid, or you kick the bucket, and your wife gets it now, will FSD go to them? Not liking how Tesla does this AT ALL.
Hats off to you man. Even if a company does a good job they need to be scrutinized so that they can continue to improve and not become complacent.
Your manscape ad is hilarious!! THANK YOU for keeping on top of doing the right thing and getting parts sold by Tesla!!
Even an idiot like me can see this is gonna cost tesla much more than a roadster rebate would have cost them.
Man didn’t know any of this about Tesla. Actually atrocious
Grotesque
So disappointing indeed. I'll happily get a Mercedes from real car enthusiasts and sentient human beings that aren't surfing on "saving the planet" while creating more products that they don't even want recycled/repurposed/rebuilt.

Rich Rebuilds is the reason I want a Tesla. They should reward him for doing this it's great promo.
He literally made me buy a Tesla. So. After watching his vids I literally bought one. So that's 50,000 dollars he's brought them
Interesting, after watching RR, I kinda don’t want to deal with Tesla’s bullshit. I wish I could buy the car, instead of renting it permanently.
Never going to happen. Tesla is stuck in their own butts.
I was really on board building a auto cross ready M3P. Now, not so much
Rich’s informative vids about the company is the reason I’ll never buy one ...
Thank you for this as "Right to Repair" is huge and needs to exist across the board. When we have companies like John Deer telling farmers they're not allowed to repair their own equipment it's gotten beyond ridiculous. Instant sub to your channel just for the hilarious ManScape add in the middle but I also want to support all those who fight for the right of people to repair their own or others property. Once something has left the factory and been paid for it becomes personal property and no one not even government has the right to tell you what you can and can not do with it as long as your intent is not to harm others with said property...
Just found your channel. THANK YOU! We need a bunch more people who learn to do this. Way to push back on the closed-system machines and planned obsolescence! Why throw something away that can be easily (or you've got the time and skills). Tesla, Apple, and any company that won't sell parts and tools are trying to get you to replace a product. Right to Repair should be Federal law.
TESLA - A car company run like a software company.
Absolutely. It really hit home when I was watching The Straight Pipes review of an older 2016 Model S in 2019.

Man, that is so messed up. I wonder how can they get away with those actions... One could think that a company like Tesla would not blemish their reputation with such attitudes but they seem to no care at all.
Great points. Keep focusing on logic and rights to the consumer. For all of the good things about Tesla, they are showing some very slimy ways that are very much like aspects of early Microsoft, IBM, and old BELL telephone company in trying to maintain a monopoly or close to one as possible.

Already is. I’ll never buy one if I can’t even work on it. And the fact that I can’t work on it isn’t the issue. The fact that they say I can’t work on it is what gets me
What they did to Rich falls exactly in line with their reputation.. exactly in line, its just the many brainless fans who just accept/defend all the BS to do with Tesla.
You are way more patient than I would ever be
Just started following the channel and I must say, you have the best ad transitions of all time. Keep up the great work.

Agreed. Super lame sauce. I think we can all agree that Tesla makes an amazing product, but their service is lackluster. Rich - keep up the good work! The right to repair is so important, and people in suits are trying to strip us of it. LOL on the lug nut covers BTW!
I dunno. Rich can sometimes come across as a dick. Sometimes he has a point but the way he goes about things is just extra. You’re right though Tesla were childish as well
Who's better than Rich in smooth transition promo? lol
NOBODY!
You are right I kept watching and finally noticed the razor and thought how did we get here. It's kind of like the movie Oz the Great and Powerful it starts out black and white and you never notice the movie change to color. The first time I saw the movie I was thinking when the it change to color. I bet Disney got input from Rich on how to do it.

Marc Sylvain - Yea, it's my first time here, and I'm already leaving because of it. Too smooth.
linus?
Enjoy your content. There is a lot of things to work through. You have a great attitude. Continued success.
Dude! I just watched the Vice segment on you and I just want to say that you ROCK! Well done and keep it up! I just wish you were in New Zealand so I could have you help me build something up.
Hey Rich, I don't know if you've ever even heard of the guy but Louis Rossmann has been testifying before anybody who'll hear him on Right to Repair. He's an Apple repair guy with similar issues. Maybe you two can team up on this somehow if you're not already in contact.
I'd be great to be honest
Pretty certain they have before
their meeting would be identical to the Arnie and Carl Weathers greeting in Predator
Louis, Dave Jones, AvE, Rich... The people's choice.
Rossmann is the fucking goat, love that guy
Dude, I am too old and poor to buy a Tesla - retired - limited income and all - Bu I had to take a few seconds to say that you, sir, are a national treasure.
The reason you're poor is that you even desire to buy an expensive low quality American junk car. A car must be reliable, cheap and get you from point A to point B safely and affordably, none of which Tesla can guarantee, because it's an expensive, low quality car. It's a good looking car, that I'll give you.
@@SandraWantsCoke Is that why I am getting old too!? By "poor" I mean not wallowing in disposable income. I drive a late model S550 Mercedes which is about all I wish to trust not to bury me before my time. You, Mr. Salabim, if I had to guess, drive a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Which is what my daughters drive on my advice.
@@GranMastaDee The car make was right, the model not.
@@SandraWantsCoke Yeah, I was being generous; Tercel or Civic then. As to shitty US cars, man you should have been there back in the mid '70s to mid '80s! The Cadillacs had paper "wood" veneer that would peel off in the Texas heat!
@@SandraWantsCoke teslas are the safest cars in the us?
Love your content,great work ,keep it up bro
The way you blend your ads in is masterful.
Next time Joe Rogan has Elon Musk on, he needs to bring you up to him.
THIS!
Keyboard Warrior win
Yesss
Yeah in 2 years.
I doubt it would be an interesting conversation anyways.
Probably something like;
"So do you know rich rebuilds?"
"Umm, no"
"Oh, well, he's a guy on youtube who rebuilds Teslas".
"Oh, okay."
"Yeah so, he was apparently treated badly by Tesla for rebuilding Tesla's and pointing out issues with Tesla cars and Tesla as a company".
"Oh really? I don't know, never heard of that whole situation, Yeah I mean, Tesla tries to prevent any sort of Liability concerns to make sure nobody gets hurt when rebuilding Tesla's, but I don't know about the situation or any of the other details, so, ill look into it -strong head nod-".
"Okay anyways.."
Maybe it would go somewhere positive, who knows, but yeah, I doubt there would be tons of headway made there, Joe would REALLY have to understand the entire situation, break it out, and advocate for rich to really get the ball rolling on the situation, but I'm pretty sure Joe would rather talk about whatever the hell else Elon is doing in his life. I won't pretend I know Elon, but I highly doubt he knows what's going on with Rich rebuilds and Tesla. I'm sure he knows Tesla's are getting rebuilt, and I'm sure he's told them he doesn't want Liability issues and is probably late to all of those discussions as they have to trickle upwards, but yeah, sometimes being so high up, its hard to be sympathetic to the voices down below if you can't hear them.
You really only hear something once it festers up and its everywhere.
This comment really needs to be pinned!!!!!!
I used to see tesla as a company that cares about its customers but this made me realize that its a business after all
no. they never cared about anything past the initial sale. they are worse than the Big 3. They certainly don't care about the second or third owner.
Literally a Nissan Sentra on batteries
Why would you ever think that care about their customers they treat their employees like trash
Yea, who Elon is and public and who Tesla is as a company, are terribly contradicting. Not very reassuring.
The only real goal of any company is to profit. How they get that profit varies. The average way is for the company to do everything they can to "protect their image" and fabricate an image that sells products. No company cares about you or their customers any more than they have to. The only time a company shows care for a customer is when they deem that not showing care would be bad for their "image". Tesla is no different than Microsoft, no different than Nestle, no different than any other major company. The only real goal is money.
Love that electric unicycle intro ! Super dope Rich!!
The smoothness to how that ad played out though
"It's dangerous!" "It's a liability!" Really? Then why can I go to any auto parts store and buy brakes for a 4 ton death machine that if I screw up could cause me to crash into a school on puppy day killing them all.... I can order a turbo off ebay and turn my civic into a 180mph cannonball. That's the dumbest argument ever and it makes no sense.
A man who looks an Wikipedia can remove the governor by himself. Get an impact drill and bank done
Tesla hate regulation when it's on them yet they love regulation when they can use it first as an excuse to screw customers but then also a means to intimidate them with jail time.
people are treating cars like phones and not realizing how dumb they sound
ya, but the company won't be liable if u installed a turbo than died, they were not in the process of u acquiring one, then installing it. Same with the brakes. I don't doubt that rich rebuilds can fix a tesla, but, if he made a mistake, tesla crashes, that's instant bad PR for the company, yknow the media these days eh? There's so much crap to consider here, although, in the end, I do believe that people who know what they're doing should be able to get these parts.... maybe just have to take the blame, or something, if one of there repaired cars crashes, due to a mistake.
@@waengwang5313 Other car brands sell OEM parts though, including brakes. They're still not liable for your inability to fit them properly even when they literally put the parts in your hands.
Tesla is going full Apple. No biggie tho, I just won't buy either.
they've been worse than apple from the get go.
I've been trying to tell people Musk is just a con artist to people from the get go. No matter what heinous things Tesla does to people, they refuse to listen to me.
both have place making a few more pennies on a pedestal far above caring for the environment, and yet environmentalists still buy both. what the deal?
Great job 👏 keep it up brother. Your making a huge difference.
Bruh, that Segway was so smooth, just like me after using your code
When your a Tesla fan but still agree with Rich
*Elon: I'm in danger*
Facts lol
You’re * but yes
I feel like Tesla's departments all work totally independent of each other with 0 communication.
Like tech support says his referal code is down due to technical issues, for that the tech support guy to suddenly find out another department saw one of his videos and didn't like it so it's never coming back. The months later, another department sees his videos and The Electrified Garage opening and goes "Wow, great advertising, lets go to it!".
The left hand doesn't talk to the right, I guess it becomes a big issue when companies are trying to expand as quickly as Tesla, it's something they really need to fix though!
@@VoxelLoop True that
@@SiLvErUnIt911 the autocorrect ew... let the man have his joke XD
I'm a Tesla owner, and often times it seems like Tesla dispises their customers.
Literally the apple of cars
lul w this
It’s one of the reasons I won’t own one anytime soon. They can even kill your car remotely , hows that for “ownership”
@@MichelLinschoten cars as a service. It's like some bad credit buy here/pay here places. They have GPS and starter disable. Miss a payment by a day, and they'll shut that shit right off. Decades ago when I was young and didn't understand credit, my credit was bad, and I went to one of those places, desperate to get a car. Once the sales guy explained about that remote disable feature, I peaced the fuck out and never looked back.
Tesla dont care their customers, they only care investors.
Dude I loved the plug for the ball commercial LOL. I will use the link in the description and buy some just to support the hustle. LOL good job just ran across the channel and instantly subscribed so freaking informative 😊😊😊👍
That commercial was smooth!! That commercial was slick and flowed into the video like a greased pig.
I'm hooked my brother!
