Hey Rich. Did you ever get your assistant's motorhome sorted out ?

I found this fascinating even though I know basically nothing about engines and cars. Love your creativity

Awesome conversation 👍

youre an awesome human, love the passion you have for cars

Interesting..

THE LEGEND HIMSELF!!

You should get that car on your channel 🧐

I mean not really. Id give it to him if he didnt bitch so much about dumb shit lol. He expects something new to development to be on par with availability when it comes to parts. He has to understand hes participating in something thats still not fully transitioned

I agree 100% Rich is the man.

You gotta be pretty smart to do what he does

Yep, it reminded me of the girl from Alien, rebuilding the robot bloke.

Like you I saw him years ago talking about right to repair laws and how tesla was screwing him over. I had no idea he rebuilt the thing as a V8.

Honestly, going to scaro yards and parting other teslas out, its a shame they wont help

Rich is an engineer by default

May not have the paper to prove it, but his work speaks for itself.

It's no different. People get caught up in titles. Dude was an electronics wizard, still is

Holy fucking bots lmao, literally every comment…

@@SeaFlaps well said. I don’t understand why some idiot people need to get the color of their skin or sexual orientation into conversations!!!! This is about a car! You like or dislike it, nobody cares about the stupidity to add information that is not related to the subject.

@@finished6267 nobody is trying to diminish anything here chief. How about you re-read what I wrote. For a comment expressing how innovation brings people together your reply seems rather bigoted.

yeah this guy is definitely a genius... would love to get together with someone like that to help build my outback into a battlewagon

Rich didn't build anything, he unplugged and plugged new used modules in until it "worked"...he didn't even build the V8 Tesla they're yappin about. Ffs he got one of his subscribers to fab and weld the entire thing. Rich starts a project, fucks it all up, then takes it to people who actually possess skills.

i mean you are too young to know that or maybe you don’t own a tesla. if you know you know. i own two tesla model y and plaid. do get me wrong the cars are perfectly good. but if you crash or something it’s so pain to get the part and if somehow your battery gets weak you have nothing to do. you can’t buy. you can’t modify. basically you feel like you don’t have control of the car. i mean i understand but on the same time nah. in the end it’s pain in the ass

I want to know what the sound systems like.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i55nfNdoqLHTink.html

What putting a engine in a car? Now if it was a ev hybrid with a v8 then yes I adore you but putting a v8 in a Tesla isn’t a big deal the hardest part is the computer.

@@shaymusburke2523 "isn't a big deal" ? You wouldn't know where to start bruh! 😂

Almost all motors today are great. Hard to find one this will ever wear out before everything else on or in the car.

The LS and K series engines are in my top 3.

Hopefully Tesla doesn't sue him over some buIIshit

Well I hope so that not that many miles my dude

What you talking about, every engine should get to 200k easy unless you mistreat it or the manufacturer is junk. My 07 Hyundai Sonata has 270k and still running

Not really I’m sure he gets a lot back from his KZfaq channel. Plus people rent his v8 Tesla for shows

Yes indeed! The need is especially greater now in this recession smh. I ain't on Rich's level, but I can tend to the average car emergency here and there.

And now you have the answer to why EV have a computer It’s just another system to watch and Analyse you like iPads iPhones ect Humans didn’t want trackers this is the way to sell you a tracker that you think you need

I think it's a drive for competence in a given area. Knowing how an engine works, how to maintain it, how to tear it down, all vital-- and fast becoming a lost art. Now people don't know how to do any maintenance at all and rely on software updates. What can be given can be taken away too.

It's BLASPHEMY!!!

There are few things more satisfying on earth to me, than doing my own repairs and maintenance. I'd rather walk than drive an iPhone on wheels.

Unfortunately these guys are rare as hens teeth and sadly to few for a sustainable future. We're marching toward a world that I don't recognize and that is inevitable at this time. Even the owners manuals will shrink over time to where if you have a question they'll provide you a number to call that will of course cost per minute and it will be taken right out of your bank account immediately. We reached the tipping point a long time ago. Instead of hope I'm only filled with sadness of what once was.

@@SlickArmor There was another short I watched yesterday featuring the late Dr. Carl Sagan that reminded me of what you've written. Here's the gist of his warning: . "I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance." Source: Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.

@@BilgemasterBill oh yes Mr Sagin. His vision for the future was spot on and what I wrote were just a couple of things that comes with his vision. As I said it saddens me and I fear there is no going back unless we have a full-scale revolution. Someone else said ww3 will be a nuclear war and ww4 will be fought with sticks and stones or something to that effect. Have you seen the movie 'idiocracy'? That hits close to home.

Geez, got some drama queens in this thread😂

What? All he did was make a Tesla gas because it was salvaged and was seen as “trash” in the eyes of Tesla. Why sell parts to fix “trash”? Just buy a gas or diesel if that’s what you want. A gas Tesla isn’t proving anything.

Game changer would be going electric and making it faster than the current teslas, THIS was just going backwards, not game changer. Don't you agree?

@@Hugo-py2ce How would that be a game changer if he already built numerous electric vehicles and literally has a garage doing that? He did this to show he's not just a Tesla fan boy but willing to expose Tesla when necessary.

@@StubbsMillingCo. You clearly haven't seen his channel then. He was one of the first people fixing salvaged teslas. His team made their own Cyberquad. Electric Rat Rod. Electric Mini. Brought attention to the right to repair. ETC He decided to do something different because Tesla was being dicks about selling people parts.

@@Ho11is2Ho11ywood for SALVAGED CARS. Of course they wouldn’t sell parts. The car is supposed to be “trash”.

Most people will look the other way to it, but it is a major issue. Not to mention their data collection is off the charts. No thanks.

Yea, everything is way too proprietary. I’m fine with my phone being like that but not a car that I rely on taking me places.

If you have any damage to a Tesla you are going to have a nightmare of a time getting it repaired for that exact reason. Also extremely expensive. It's basically John Deere all over again.

The reason you have a tesla at the price it is at is due to it being a closed system.

@@duko4423 it a option you can close data collection ut a option in it.
