True. I love his laugh, almost like poking the Pillsbury dough boy, though who couldn't laugh at Rich's clever comments. Seems like a fun place to work even when the camera is off. I don't imagine there is screaming and a line-boss hassling everyone like at some shops (see "American Hot Rod" cable show of Boyd Coddington's dysfunctional shop).
You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last few months =)
It really annoys me that fanboys don't seem to be objective in many cases. I think you are doing a real service to the Tesla and EV community by be pragmatic and honest about your experiences. This aids in setting realistic expectations about what to expect when considering an EV and applying consumer focussed pressure onto a company to improve their behaviours and interactions. The quickest way for a company to and grow improve is to listen to the community focussed on your products and incrementally improve where it is feasible to do so. This helps all stakeholders, especially the fan boys! Thank you so much for what you do :)
@RichRebuilds I wish I watched this Playlist earlier. Today is officially ELEVEN DAYS since I ordered my used Tesla Model S. I specifically picked one that was listed as at a local dealer and I am picking it up (so it doesn't even need to be transported further than their storage place because I guess they don't keep them on site?). No idea what the delay is. Once you make payment, they become ghosts. I'm on my 3rd potential delivery date already, all I've been told is that there's been a "logistics delay". I tried to call their call center on Friday and was left on hold soo long the system gave up and just told me to leave a message. This is STRESSFUL. Your videos are the only thing keeping me sane over here. Update: Got a 4th delivery date and NO ONE can explain why. Keep in mind, the car is not being shipped. I specially selected a local car. I have been insuring a vehicle I don't have for almost a month now....
9:42 the simplisafe tone for door opening... thought I was going crazy, could've sworn it was my door, was trying to figure out which door was opening and why my app wasn't notifying me until I played the video back twice lol.
What about placing stainless steel insect mesh in front of the air filter to prevent mice/rats eating it? Love the video, great info. I hope I never have to pull out my battery.
I gotta say, $1800 for all the work that was done is a pretty damned good deal. I honestly thought you were gonna say something like $4500. In the last video, Chad mentioned that the vibration was from the half shafts, and that you'd need new half shafts and a motor mount. What that done here, too? You mentioned the lower control arms, but not the half shafts.
Hey Rich, great video as always. I have a suggestion for the mechanical brake corrosion issue. How about suggesting to TESLA to create a API to have the cars computer set a interval of using the mechanical brakes once in a while so that they get hot enough to keep from corroding from lack of use? The API can be either set on a schedule or selected by the owner to perform the action which would show up on the screen as such. Just a thought. Stay safe!
Hey Uncle Rich, my lease is nearing its end on my gas car and I’ve been watching the prices of Early Model S’ dip lower and lower as the days pass. My question is should that be something to consider for my first EV to be used as a Daily Driver and if I decide to go that route what are some things I can expect from a Model S with 70K+ miles on the dash? Thanks in advance if you can provide some insight!
I’ve been following you since the first episode of the Delores rebuild. Your humor always makes my day I thank you for all the laughs man keep up the great work!
My dad taught me that you have to use the brakes on the car from time to time, otherwise they will corrode and be less efficient. I would often engine break in a lower gear on a normal car in order to not brake, but not using the brakes makes them corrode like he shows in the video. Because Tesla's car all have built in engine breaking when you let go off the accelerator, lots of energy is conserved back into the car, but at 3000 miles a brake pad starts rusting "naturally". I've been looking to get the X, but now I need after market brakes so it doesn't rust. Perhaps the brake pads is the next upgrade for factory teslas.
*Bright ideas:* 1. Build yourself YOUR OWN FAST CHARGER. Hack it. SELL THEM. 2. Build yourself a REMOTE CHARGER COUPLER, so that you can use two remote chargers at the same time. You'll have to hack them. SELL THEM.
main reason the filter is glued - its a hepa filter, so for bioweapon defense mode to work the filter has to be glued and sealed in place. of course, that doesnt matter if the filter has been consumed by a small mammal.
The reason for the filter being glued is to prevent (whatever minuscule) airflow from passing between the filter and the filter housing. By installing the blue filter loose you’ve eliminated the biohazard feature. I’m not sure it’s even a HEPA system anymore.
Saying that a car doesnt need service is like saying that a car doesnt need gas/electricity. Just because you dont WANT to service your car doesnt mean you shouldnt. Everything degrades, thats just a fact of matter.
I just checked, they sell those filters for $500. I don't think I ever paid more than $20 for a cabin filter for any of my cars. Hell, I don't pay more than $300-400 for annual service which includes replacing ALL the filters and fluids. That's just crazy! Tesla is like an automotive Apple.
Hey, hold on a hot minute.... Didn't I watch this video about 3-4 hours ago? Yes, I see you Uncle Rich. I've got a joke for you: Tesla has a Model S. Tesla has a Model X. Why doesn't Tesla have a Model E? Because Tesla fanboys don't get any!

Back at it
Half of the time it's so unexpected. Makes it so much funnier
When can I subscribe to Rich Rebeard?
YES LOL
Im thinking a grooming channel
Rich I don't care about Tesla's, but I love the videos because they crack me up. Especially tweeking the fan boys. Good stuff.
Chad is just invaluable. He knows everything that there is to know about working on these :D
1:17
TH-cam subtitles be like: “I went over a few things like range comparison between my ex and my ass”
Me: “holdup”

I love your humour, keep it up especially now when we're all stuck inside, unless in Sweden.

Start with getting a plasma cutter :)

Or you can turn regenerative braking off for a while.
I hadnt even thought about the reduced brake lifetime due to nonuse!
Good vid. I like ones like this where we can actually learn something from the professionals. No kitchen knives, Waa Waa.
Is this still you most useless car now that Delores has no supercharging?
Touché
Next video is always the most
Teslas are most useful as a city car, with home charging. Supercharging is just for long trips and is quite expensive (>$0.30/kW-h, compared to
@@williamgrissom9022 I'd just buy a Prius, great for city driving and self charging!
Graham
“Self charging” is just Toyota pretending their gas powered car is an EV. It’s not and never will be.
Rich - your videos have great narration, and even better comedic timing !! I always chuckle at the lamest things.
Your simply safe open door sound keeps making me think someone opened my doors lol! Got me like three times.
I love this man's grammar. It's quite Rich.
I rarely comment, but when you said "That's a New England battery right there" I lost it! 😂 Our sweet rust bucket home.
Where can I get an S for 20k? I’ll take two

SFO craigslist one for 17K
12:00 talk about Breaks on EV.
Interesting.
Thanks Rich
If Tesla can’t fix it, we better fix it ourselves!
But Tesla is a great car. Still love my Model 3 and love making it unique!
Unique = Personalized License Plate. Lol
Thank you Rich for proving that even cool dudes can have difficulty growing a beard.
DAMN!!!! Did y’all see that dudes falcon get hit by the semi????
Dat transition to ad be buttery smooth as always
Electrified Garage - Awesome!! I recall when our boy Richie B used to fix cars with his wife’s steak knives 🤣😆
The good old days
Butter knife. Nobody trusting him with a sharp knife.
17:48 "And children, this is how Uncle Elon makes new Teslas."
Ordinary hero walking in at 17:23 you are the real MVP.

Love to see knowledge in a mechanic like this
Jeebus, Tesla needs to fix this extremely common control arm problem.
For the first 30 seconds, I thought I was watching Rich Rebeards.
next project needs to be a cummins swapped tesla
Yep he could build one off of that factory test car
These videos have convinced me to say no Tesla...NO!
no, still I want to buy it .
I just tune in to hear your square space pitch it's hilarious
Real talk I learned a TON from watching this video and the one before about what to prepare for with a used Model X. Thanks Rich!
How'd this just premier an hour ago? I'm pretty sure i watched it like 4 hours ago.
He took the original down because it had tin can audio
I was waching it and it went privet
