Rich is the man. Awesome you had him on your show.

I hope the guy who sold him the key listens to this just to hear Joe Rogan call him a dirtbag.

I can listen to this guy talk about cars for the rest of my life and not get bored.

Rich is a must have for any zombie apocalypse team.

I'm not an evil genius, this was born out of my cheapness, LOL. I feel that.

I would love to see This guy and Musk on a podcast together .

Joe Rogan + car talk = instant watch

My old boss has a air-cooled porche 911. Tons of engine upgrades. Double upgraded turbos and the last upgrade was water injection as if it wasn't already super fast. He drove it on Fridays only and took about 4 of us on rides. I went last. Wanted warmer tires cause it wasn't gonna be a casual cruise. My turn. It was all wheel drive. As soon as we got to the on-ramp of the highway he stomped it and I've never felt the blood rushing out of my head in a car before. Been in some fast mustang's and a Nova but this was another level. He barked 5th gear. In less than 1/2 a mile (I'm guessing the distance between the next exit we passed) we were at 150mph. I believe we got to 186 and had to stop due to traffic. When Rogan mentioned the word 9 1 1 it reminded me of my ride in a 950+hp Porche 9 1 1. It was amazing. I couldn't stop laughing. The car has ran the Texas Mile several times and has close to 1000hp. Vids of it are up on YT. It was the best and fastest ride I've ever been on and likely won't ever get to do it again

Spoiler alert, he just puts them in a bag with rice.

"This was driven by my cheapness." - Rich Benoit

Rich!!!! You did it Brother!!! Subscriber from the beginning here. Glad you made my favorite podcast. Will be listening today at work. 🤘✌👍👊😬

Rich Benoit needs his own radio show. The guy is sharp.

This is one of the best podcasts, there was such a great vibe between them, so much knowledge shared , good humor and I am the least interested in cars normally and I was fully captivated from start to finish

Such a huge fan of Rich rebuilds. Guys hilarious and has some of the best content on YT.

Rich is just such a good dude! Love this guy and I really respect his journey and what he's trying to do.

So cool you had Rich Rebuilds! Totally unexpected, but awesome.

Now you just need Louis Rossman on the show Joe. Basically he is doing the same thing, but for Apple products.

The guy is a genius on what he’s doing with the parts and fixing the cars as well.

I love how people that never messed with rc stuff are so surprised by the teslas performance, those of us messing with brushless rc motors and lipoly batteries are not surprised lol

"P100D...and I stomp on the gas" haha, stomp on the Lithium

So the guy who had the key was thinking "This guy really wants this key, he'd probably be willing to pay anything to get his hands on this key. I should definitely use that to my advantage and exploit him." Doesn't matter what kind of situation that dude was in, it really says a lot about his character.

"They know if you farted in the front seat" lol

"But L.A.'s not the real world"...lol

Rich winced every time Joe called the motor and engine.

Showing the wrong clip in the beginning smh Jamie 😂

"I know Elon musk bamboozled you into buying a Tesla" 😂

Almost read the title as “Chris Benoit”, nearly a *big* yikes.

23:15 : Call's the original owner back and tells him he found his wife's wedding ring under the Z06 seat...

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Joe " I think I can get it to jump " lol that caught me off guard

The Joe Show needs more car talk. Loved it.

Rich is the man he barely had any subs now look at him!

Rich is the best guest Joe's ever had on the show.

Rich is a complete legend. Love his projects.

That was messed up how the previous owner did him about the key. Some people are just sleaze bags via genetics.... smh

Rich is going big time and main-stream.... Smart guy - he got in at the forefront of the new EV ecosystem... his circle of influence and networking grows!

Uncle rich: Fisker front end looks like a fish Tesla model S: looks like a large mouth bass

Joe: so it has just the rear ENGINES Rich: yeah single MOTOR Joe: oh okay so one ENGINE Rich: *cringes*

Perfect example of keep on working despite the odds! Great work Rich

I'm so glad Joe said LA isn't the real world for what you can buy for 1.6 mil, there is amazing country in the USA.

There couldn't be a more real life example of The Ship of Theseus. Tesla needs to recognize it as a new vehicle, sieze the publicity opportunity, and help the dude out.

Love this guy. Seems very chill and someone I could get several beers and some whiskey with

Best part of the interview, Joe asks Chris how did you get time to rebuild your car, Chris answer back, hum I have a... I was working at the time. Ahahah he almost said it again, that he has a full time job. Priceless

This is a cool dude. Seemed like he and joe really vibed.

This makes me so happy. Rich is such a super cool dude and I am happy to see him out doing stuff like this and bringing attention to this kinda stuff. Awesome.

"They went off like fireworks." "I know the feeling." Rich having Daisy flashbacks. . .

If I didn’t have ADD before watching this video.. I 100% have it now. Conversation was all over the place but I love it

Rich is the dude been watching this guy for ever so happy to see him on your show joe

Uncle Rich's expression when Joe keeps calling the motors engines 😂

My buddy has a p100d and when he showed me how fast it was I literally didn't want to go through that again, it felt like a rocket ship.

20:20 uncle rich's face when joe rogan continues to talk about tesla's "engine" instead of "motor" even after he corrected it

Joe "I know I asked you a question, but never mind that answer" Rogan

i hate not being able to see the clips! rich is such a cool humble dude. so smart too

RICH BENOIT: there's a place in Florida that deals strictly in software reprogramming of cars like Tesla and they are genius. Will look for it so he can copy his Tesla car key and make a clone. Here it is: Specialized ECU Repair 954-652-1496.

"throw it in a bag of rice" this was the most legendary pun in the world of puns lol. I saw no comments on this so Im gonna assume so many people missed it.

One of those times when two people you subscribe to come together

So much foreshadowing in this one, Rich went on to build a Rat Rod Tesla and is LS-Swapping a Tesla.

rich is the man very smart elon needs this dude on his team

Great Podcast. The funniest thing for me was when they showed the Con Ed explosion and thought it was Karma Fisker cars.. LOL

This guy has a great comedic timing man

joe "they compounded his car" rogan

This was such a good conversation, specially with the key issue.

Joes a martial artist. A comedian..and a car guy...you are the coolest man.

I knew this would be a great episode

Love this guy and what he does for backyard mechanics, so great that you guys had him on

Rich wincing 20:22 as Joe calls it an "electric engine" a second after Rich corrected him, lol

Dang this guy's wife has him strapped to the hood of his Tesla begging to salvage their marriage!

Torque is the electric cars best friend

Joe is like a chill chill dude, who has a violent side too

9:29 Rich wants to say I have a full-time job so bad!!!

I had the same response after driving a Tesla. This is a great ride. How much? WTF? NO. But after a few weeks I decided I needed this car. Best decision I ever made. Love my Tesla

I admit it . . . Rich really is the man . . . loved watching his video's of him scraping together his Tesla despite the odds being against him. His problem solving smarts are right out of "old school", were you're taught nothing is impossible ! ! ! Given the challenge, Bet'cha' he could hotwire God's Pearl White Cadillac!

The world needs more Rich Benoits. We need to reclaim our rights as owners of things. Push back on these megacorps.

Can't access this full podcast , says it's private :/. EDIT: It’s still on Spotify but would’ve rather watched it on KZfaq #1stWorldProblems 😄

MY GOD!!! Raised in Escondido during the 70's when Valley view Parkway was the place to cruise!!! My Dad was an A4 Pilot and all those dudes were so into cars !! THe Mustang was the Squadren car , and my Dad was the Commnader and got to drive that car. THe SMELL!!!!! My Dad had so many cool CARS!! 56 thunder bird , 55 thunderbird, 66 mustang , 65 Mustang , 1970 Grand Torino . The list goes on and on !! THat Mustang was INCREDIBLE~~ No shifter though , yah nope ! IT don't mean a thing if it ain't got that SHIFFFFFFTTERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys :) Great discussion ! I Went to the Tesla Dealership in Washington state , MECCA!!!

Rich: so yeah I rebuild Teslas Joe: Wow...that's crazy. have you tried some DMT?

Guy is a living legend need to have him on again

The German have always made great looking cars regardless of how many they sale in America...

The world needs more people like Rich.

This dude is pretty chill. Great episode!

I could listen to Joe talk about cars all day.

I like how he says every night he was like I gotta get me one of these. I know that feeling that thrive too get something no matter what you have to do grind grind grind and then wene you actually get it cause you will when you are that focused on something and then you get it and that feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming and it also shows you that you can have anything you want if you put your mind to it and don't give up. Motivation is one of the best qualities that a person can have. And If only I still had it Lol 😁

Honda tuners eat your heart out this guy’s the real deal!!

Ya gotta love these podcasts from Joe "I play both sides of the fence" Rogan Joe interviewing Rich - $600 for that key. Aww man, that's blood money Joe interviewing key guy - What do you mean he wanted the key for free? Those are expensive and he needs to pay for it

“Brohyme we just bonded” I felt that😂😭

here's a suggestion for your future videos: can you please provide links in the video, the sites you go to during your podcast? otherwise, great podcast

I rid in (private property/turf farm) electric converted Daihatsu Mira but that was lead acid array... definately no paddock basher.

Dude is super smart. He's an intellect and poor Joe can't keep up. Joe is one of the best interviews but this dude just needs to talk because he's way ahead of everything.

I love a '68 coupe, I'm just not an electric guy. They're badass though.

100% made here, where all the quality control problems come from

These guys just hit it off the bat. They're like long time friends.

Reassuring to know propriety's reach does not define ingenuity.

This guy is a genius I love how he took it to tesla. He's a awesome guy I loved his videos...

Rich kept saying it was creepy of him to call the guy and ask if he had the key....i dont know if creepy is the right word....maybe out of the blue....creepy would be going to the guys house peering thru the windows uninvited

That Mustang EV is sick but it's got so much more going on. The body has been re-done in carbon fibre and the interior has the big tesla screen, auto-pilot, all the modern stuff. There's also an automatic rear wing. Technically nothing is from a Mustang, it just looks like one and you know...I'm alright with that! Because it looks fucking awesome! (Yeah I've been researching this a lot, the one thing I don't know yet is the price...)

Even gasoline cars get destroyed by flood damage. They get all kinds of "electrical gremlins", and get wrote off on insurance. Not all salvage cars are bad, just flood damage ones
