Thanks for having me on again Joe and team. The conversation about horse intercourse really showcased my range.

Rich is one of the smartest dudes in the car KZfaqr scene. Every bit of his success he deserves.

I remember watching this guy years ago when he was trying to rebuild the salvaged Tesla. I could not believe the hard work and dedication. Incredible guy

What's great about Rich is he's not even an engineer or mechanic by training, he was an IT manager.

As a performance mechanic I know the feeling of building something from the ground up, those long nights at the shop, kicking back drinking some brews with your buddies throwing steaks on the grill while building a few race cars, then hearing it fire up for the first time and watching it go down the street huffing a 300 shot of nitrous nothing compares. Yea you can go buy a 700hp hellcat but the feeling of gapping a hellcat in your backyard/shop built shit box is waaaaaay more fun lol

Rich is an authentic original but also hilarious, articulate, revolutionary and discretely profain.

I love it when my favorite KZfaqrs link up unexpectedly. This is pure gold.

"That's the spirit of car modification. You drive it, you blow it up, you rebuild it and then you do it all over again" That pretty much sums it up

Now this is what I like about Americans. Ingenuity, and can-do attitude ... well done from Australia.

We need more geeky cool dudes on the show

Dude is a Genius..he's somewhere right now building something about to be mass produced.

This is why I love Joe, he interviews such a wide variety of people, and ends up with excellent guests like this! Great interview. Joe is well rounded, and Rich knows his stuff and has a good personality. I'm a car guy and mechanic so this was fun for me

Rich got his start by teaching himself to disassemble Tesla's and rebuild them and to be able to service every part and he then opened an EV repair shop, the iced-t car is just one of his accomplishments, his videos are also funny as hell.

Now we need Louis Rossmann on for right to repair stuff. I think Joe would be massively on board with that movement

I can barely install a timing belt/chain... this dude is the real deal.

This guy is amazing , love what he do and how he expose those rotten corporations.

This is why Joe's podcast is so good. He has guests from every conceivable genre, and they are all amazing people doing amazing things. It's inspirational when I think I've hit a rut.

Let’s goooo seeing Rich make a return to the podcast years later is amazing

I never realized he has a car enthusiast on a podcast! Need to listen to it asap that’s awesome. Been a car enthusiast all my life and dream to do what this man is doing.

This man is a genius! He should design and create his own vehicle from scratch.

I love Rich’s rebuilds, never miss an episode every Sunday. He’s a very intelligent guy 🧠

I’m so glad RIGHT TO REPAIR is starting to get more talked about!!

Rich is a fucking legend! Absolutely brilliant, his creativity, ingenuity, and engineering capabilities are a beautiful slap in the mouth to Tesla in the most respectful way. Absolutely love his content, and cheers to Joe for bringing this man on the podcast.

Rich is a great guy. Love what he stands for and his personality

Rich is the best. I didn't want to watch the full 13 minute video about the V8 Tesla but ended up doing it anyway because he's a great storyteller as usual.

Rich is a natural educator. He makes technical talk fun, and easy to understand for the layman. I learned a lot from this short clip.

The fabrication on The V8 Tesla is amazing. The exhaust alone is a work of art. Rich has a amazing team. Chief Engineer for the C8 at GM at the show was impressed on Rich V8 Tesla. 👍😎👍

I really appreciate this show. Always great to listen to!! Thanks for the awesome content!

Rich is a true automotive outlaw, love his attitude and his work - keep it up man!

"You drive it. You blow it up. You rebuild it and you drive it again." - Rich Rebuilds, true driving enthusiast

This is why I love this guy genuinely keeps the builds just for the memory of out that's dope

Fellow black nerd here. I love working on designs, batteries, hifi, and tweaky inventions and mods. Keep it up Rich. My son is a computer geek got his CS 802 at 14, ibm scholarship for quantum computing and qbit at 15, younger son is "normal" so far but wants to be an engineer. Great to see you getting some exposure Rich.

"You drive it, you blow it up, you rebuild it and then do it all over again." Thats such a fun way to look at the hobby of building/fixing cars or anything really.I love that attitude of trying and trying and even when it works great, keep trying to make it even better.

He is amazing. What he did to his car is mind blowing. People dont understand that why someone is doing that. Love it

Rich, you're idea is simple and genius. Loved it.

If you’re a car/auto engineering enthusiast and you’re not following Rich you’re missing out. Him and his team are so smart and so fun. They’re reviews of EVs are amazing as well. Thanks Rich!

First man to rebuild his own Tesla now first man to put a V8 in a Tesla!! This man is a genius!

“You drive it, you blow it up, you rebuild it, and do it all over again.” Speaking like a true car guy

I've been watching this guy for a while and we need more cool geeky guys like this.

The LS motor It’s truly one of the greatest ever built my LS6 just approached 190k miles And still drives like a champ just basic fluid changes

I used to work for Amazon and deliver to his house all the time, super cool and down to earth dude, loved seeing the new vehicles in the drive way specially the V8 Tesla, deft the coolest dude out here in Mass 😂

Words to live by “You build it You blow it and you rebuild it again “😂😂

I live in Boston and would love to get permission to visit Rich up in New Hampshire and just hang out for the day and watch these guys during a project build. I'd buy everyone lunch and beer just to be able to hang out quietly and watch these guys.

Nice introduction to this man for myself. As a diesel mechanic, and hot rodder in my youth, this makes me giddy to do a new project vehicle.

Now Rich is straight up what we in the UK call a petrol head. Amazing. Right to repair taken to the limits!

When Joe asked him about how he made the tesla board work with the V8 engine, i was hoping for bullshit, but this guy actually know his shit and gave a really smart answer. Doesnt take away that he actually made the car slower lol

I've been watching Rich rebuilds for years. He's really come a long way

He called it ICE-T for Internal Combustion Engine Tesla. This man is genius on many levels

ever since i first heard of Rich years back, i knew immediately this guy was some sort of mad genius. this seems like a very challenging undertaking, yet him and his small team got it done beautifully.

Congrats Rich I have watched you from the beginning, and you have made it. Rogan Interview is what Jonny Carson was back in the '70s and '80s. Building that car plus being funny got you this interview.

Very impressed with RichRebuilds. This young man is on the game. Thanks for having him on the show.

"It's a ticking time bomb. But it's fun!" Maybe the best engine statement ever. Cheers

Love Rich! He's hilarious, humble and hardworking - you can tell he's a great friend too. We need more people like Rich!

Rich is a true legend. Love this dude so much

This guest is actually Rich. He keeps every car he builds just for the memories. That's an expensive life style. Props, haha.

Rich is the Man! Dude is so Humble, yet Very Intelligent & seems very thoughtful! Easily one of the best reoccurring guests on the JRE!

This guy is inspiring to listen to. Well composed, interesting, and hard working - what an awesome story.

I’ve spent the last couple months wiring up a GSXF 750 and adding new lights, gauges, and ignition(Chinese Yamaha clone) that was hard enough. The determination to the wiring alone is insane, this guy is dedicated

Been a fan of Rich for a few years now. Glad this build caught attention!

Rich is a genius and hes actually extremely funny...i will forever rock with him, Stephen, and the whole team

The tesla engineers are now in a frenzy fixing the accessories loop hole..good job rich!

Spoken like a true die hard car guy. Love this guy 🙌

Uncle Rich is the fricking man. His restored BMW i8 is one of the sickest EVs seen.

Always love rich. Super realistic but also very forward-thinking. Glad to see him back.

I really admire this man for not selling his memories. That's really all we have in this life.

Need to watch thr whole show. Rich and thr team are a great watch 👍👍👍

Uncle rich is so smart. It blows my mind the stuff that him and the team think of lol

As an early fan of Rich, what an accomplishment to be on JRE again. Shows what a little work an determination will do. Don’t try to understand everything, just start working.

One of my fav DIY KZfaqrs, thanks to his vids he inspired me to build a V8 Prius track car soon lol

As a both a huge car nerd and JRE fan, this episode is made for me. I cant wait to watch the rest. Not familiar with the guest, but he’s so well spoken and clearly a great engineer

Thats so cool to see the man Rich himself on JRE, hell yeah Joe make all these badass guys big as you can!

This guys KZfaq has been one of my favorites. I watched all the headaches he’s had trying to fix broken down Tesla’s. It’s made me not want to buy a Tesla. You literally can’t buy 1 part for a Tesla. He would buy junk yard Tesla’s and build good ones out of used parts without any help from Tesla. I mean nothing. Not a seatbelt, a logo, a sun viser. Nothing. And that is BS if u ask me. #teslaV8

Great guest to have, matter a fact, you literally need this dude and Elon on together, let’s make tesla great again.

This dude is so smart its hard to really conceive it. His flow of logic thinking through fixing stuff is amazing

Always a great podcast when Rich is there !

I'm a poor guy so I don't get to do to many projects. But I build a few on my channel. I put a 2016 LS motor 6 speed auto and all digital gauges in a 57 Bel-Air. I'm building a 70 gmc 4x4 with well over 400 horsepower out of the original 6 cylinder it came with in 1970. The. Project I'd love to do is build a truck with an old engine, something that most people think is a antique and doesn't have a place in today's market. Let's say a ford 300 straight 6. And compete with any new gas engine on the market today, with power, speed, fuel economy, reliability, ease to work on. And show that an old 300 could beat most factory motors on the market today to ask the question are all the advancements we have made really advancements? Maybe I could get a little of that KZfaq money one day to have some real fun with projects

“You gotta redesign the entire engine” That line made me laugh way harder than it should’ve

Rich does some awesome projects and always makes it hilarious. Always look forward to when his videos drop every Sunday

Rogan was asking some very good questions. Like someone who knows about cars.

Rich has turned into an amazing engineer and mechanic.

This guy obviously knows more about cars than I know about anything.

Awesome seeing these two together. Building cars is cool. I just built and sold another fiero. I see gm like Lego. Fiero is an awesome platform to modify. But going ev to gas is impressive. Keep up the good work.

Love his channel!!! Dude is a “mad” car GENIUS!!

FREAKIN BRILLIANT! That's so freakin cool. Just last week I pointed to a Tesla and told my wife it's just begging to have a V8 dropped into it. It's just not the same without that V8 growl.

It’s fun to watch him go from Tesla fanboy to most honest critic they got.

Great video, love Riches show, here he was so enthusiastic, great speaker and knows what he is saying too.

I know very little about cars and I was fully engaged in the convo and learned some things along the way. Great

"It's a ticking time bomb - but it's fun until it blows up...you drive it, you blow it up, you rebuild it, then you do it all over again" True of lots of things - metaphorically.

This guy made an excellent point that I’ve been debating with EV freaks for years now. When these things break down, especially Teslas, your only option is to get it serviced at a dealership. Not only is that going to be really expensive, but the tow bill is going to be ridiculous considering Tesla dealerships are few and far between. In a rural area where I live, the closest Tesla dealerships are 3 hours away. And what if the power grid goes down and you don’t have solar? You won’t be going very far. Don’t get me wrong, EVs and Teslas are fun to drive and great for saving money on gas, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t keep a petrol car too just in case. There’s nothing like the acceleration of a Tesla, but also nothing compares to the roar of a fine tuned muscle car. Also a note to Ford: I had no problem in creating an electric Mustang, like something that could compete with Tesla with the same look as a traditional muscle car, but there was no excuse to turn it into an SUV. They could have made any other SUV electric and I’d be ok with it, but instead they desecrated the Mustang with a family car pile of 💩

I bet he's already on the list of people Ferrari won't build for 🤣

I worked for NASA for a time. So did my mom. So did my dad. So did my grandpa even. And this guy has the spirit of invention, and love for life and its experiences that we all do. It's what makes humanity worth saving.

Love listening to Rich talk, very articulate. One of the smartest dude's out there

I like this dude. Put a v8 in a Tesla... that's awesome. My stepdad and brother are mechanics. The need to work on your own vehicle is imperative for a lot of folks. I'm ALL FOR what this guy is doing.

The fact that this gentleman is simplifying mechanical engineering and physics like it is 2+2 is just as amazing as him cracking the motor. The saying goes, if you can’t articulate it, you don’t know it.

hybridize it and use the alternator to power an electric Tesla motor; small, light battery can store energy during lower rpms.

Man I was waiting for rich to be back on. He's a cool dude. Love his work

Rich is the friend we all need. Humble to the bone.

I love this. Taking a perfectly normal working car and making it into something else just cause…amazing

He should just sell it to whistlen diesel. He never has to worry about seeing it ever again

I like this dude. He was unintentionally funny last time
