I gotta say I love Rich’s humor. Man he always has me laughing.
You make me and the squad laugh,by forgetting that we didn't ask.
@@captinmurphy1999 good one
Haha
Back at it
Half of the time it's so unexpected. Makes it so much funnier
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.
@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....
1:17
UA-cam subtitles be like: “I went over a few things like range comparison between my ex and my ass”
Me: “holdup”
AMR15H read this right as I heard it haha
What the flip YT
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 :)
Chad is just invaluable. He knows everything that there is to know about working on these :D
When can I subscribe to Rich Rebeard?
YES LOL
Im thinking a grooming channel
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.
@4:33 is the Windchimes from my Ring notification so spent a minute trying to figure out where the event was on my phone.
Beautiful blue Panigale!
Me too
That's a lotta maintenance considering it's a maintenance free car
I truly do not understand why people keep propagating the notion that EV's need no maintenance. Good vid. Rich. and EV Garage.
Andrew Whitehead; I think my old Gen Two Prius has something to do with that. No seriously, everybody gives them shit, Tesla Toyboys shit on them for using gas, Toyota toyboys shit on them for being electric ..and any time I tried to go up a hill or literally just move in snow I shit on it too but honestly, I’ve never seen a vehicle that required so little to go so far. The Prius played a huge role in building EVs low maintenance rep, IMO.
@@aaronmacy9134 it comes from evs have way less moving parts. and not all evs are rebuilt from multiple cars like Richs'
@@burq- also hybrid vehicles doesnt overuse their powertrain, the prius uses a relativ big engine but in aktkinson cycle, the prius has a very sophisticated catalytic converter, also the tesla model y is almost a copy of the prius , you can compare the two , from the dasboard to the hatchback and rear storage.... the tesla also needs a solar roof like the prius for some basic things like summon
@@burq- His Model X was purchased directly from Tesla. He didn't build it like his other cars.
Yup, EV's have less moving parts. And thus one feather becomes five hens.
Chad seems like the nicest guy in the world :D
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).
Really enjoy hearing you and Chad go through the steps/issues. Not a Tesla owner, just a fan.
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.
4:30 ring notification had me looking around for my phone wondering what happened.
Dude, let us help you with your beautiful mangey beard. -Eric
Yeah, by some $60 beard oil... we swear it's not just some dollar store shit we just marked up lol
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 =)
@Marcus Jaxson Definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
Well this was awkward.
I've done the rapid mate on the side of the interstate when Tesla Service failed to put any of the bolts in.Wonderful bunch.
Andre juneau what?
??????
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 rarely comment, but when you said "That's a New England battery right there" I lost it! 😂 Our sweet rust bucket home.
I love your humour, keep it up especially now when we're all stuck inside, unless in Sweden.
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!
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.
DAMN!!!! Did y’all see that dudes falcon get hit by the semi????
Been driving a 96 honda accord i bought for 900 dollars for pas 3 years. Spent maybe 300-400 on repairs. It's not good on gas, but i can get two more accords for he price you paid to service a Tesla. I fail so see where the savings are or how it's "cheap" to drive a Tesla.
Rich - your videos have great narration, and even better comedic timing !! I always chuckle at the lamest things.
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
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!
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.
"Useless does not mean valueless" 😘
I’m telling you rich! This is the best channel on UA-cam, Love the show. I’m the biggest fan from Canada.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👌🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽✊🏽
12:00 talk about Breaks on EV.
Interesting.
Thanks Rich
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.
Here is an idea for you: A Tesla powered lawn mower so we can't hear old neighbors mowing everyday.
I'm waiting for the jetski
I own an electric lawnmower. No need to wait on tesla
2 people in my neighborhood have those.its like a roomba for your yard
Electric Lawmowers still make noise
17:48 "And children, this is how Uncle Elon makes new Teslas."
Thank you Rich for proving that even cool dudes can have difficulty growing a beard.
Ordinary hero walking in at 17:23 you are the real MVP.
Your simply safe open door sound keeps making me think someone opened my doors lol! Got me like three times.
"We believe in a green ($$$) future"... like Squarespace!
I love this man's grammar. It's quite Rich.
Hey Rich, why is the first video uploaded today private? When I clicked the link UA-cam said it was private and that I'm unable to watch.
Idea: create custom Tesla parts and sell them on this channel. You are a f’ng good salesmen
Start with getting a plasma cutter :)
Where can I get an S for 20k? I’ll take two
Brian Gray
SFO craigslist one for 17K
you need to be hired by a marketing firm. your sponsored ad drops crack me up.
Jeebus, Tesla needs to fix this extremely common control arm problem.
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.
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
penguen lover me too bro
@@penguen_lover Привет!
He took it down because bad audio
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!
After much ado I can finally see someone smart with the borescope...
How are you so concentrated to not pay attention when A MAN WITH PIZZA ENTERS THE GARAGE
THREE pizzas even!!
$1800? Pfft! You need to own a BMW to get truly heart stopping "maintenance" bills.
😂😂
But bmw is quality and quality has it's price. Tesla has only a price without quality
@@sebastians.170 "BMW" and "quality"? Get out of the 80's, BMW's quality SUCKS now.
@@sebastians.170 the "quality" era of bmw ended a long time ago
@@sebastians.170 thats a pretty good joke lmfao
next project needs to be a cummins swapped tesla
Yep he could build one off of that factory test car
Chad didn't use one butter-knife to remove the battery. Rich is going Hollywood.
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!
You’ve done Joe Rogan and your the funniest guy on UA-cam hands down... how do you not have a million subs? You should have a few million
17:24 Pizza arrives = best part EVER
Dat transition to ad be buttery smooth as always
Can i make a suggestion to make the battery refit easier .
Make two locating dowels once the battery is dropped screw a dowel either side .
Jacking the battery up should be easier using the dowels as opposed to using a camera to check the pins are located .
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.
I am a HUGE Tesla Fan, I don't own one yet, but I appreciate both its ups and downs. They are just such crazy cars.
Hi Richard, great video and a
great SHOP. Take care guys and God bless you and your families.
Love your sense of humor, Rich! And your car dance was cool too!
“The stupid dance the x does.. I hate that” lol
Good info. Thanks
For the first 30 seconds, I thought I was watching Rich Rebeards.
What is it a building AC duct filter you cut down ?
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 $300-400 for annual service which includes replacing ALL the filters and fluids.
That's just crazy! Tesla is like an automotive Apple.
I just tune in to hear your square space pitch it's hilarious
Shit, that squarespace ad with all those puns at tesla. I freaking loved it
Being a car producer is more than selling a car and delivering the key card. It also requires affordable maintenance. Tesla's support chain is miles away from the common manufacturer's like Toyota, not to mention the price tag. Give it another 5 years and we'll see a bunch of Model Xs and 3s dirt cheap and falling apart.
Is that the original version of Jayz a million and questions playing in your fast forward play?
Total cost 1800$... EV DOESNT NEED A MAINTENANCE
Superbly informative and, Rich, you do an excellent job of narrating and presenting.
Your guys are real pros at EG. You are in good hands.
Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us about the model X.
Keep on mocking Tesla, I enjoyed watching you making fun of tesla😂😂
Gave you a thumbs up for the first minute alone!
1800 not bad for a 30k service. A garage wanted 1600 to do my GM lambda Enclave water pump, drive belt, coolant and thermostat, so I did it myself over a weekend for $120 in parts.
That ring doorbell chime was a Tesla fan boy rubbing Covid-19 on Rich front door knob lol... Just joking, Be safe
Love to see knowledge in a mechanic like this
My brakes (on an ICE car) rot in exactly the same way because I (and the wife) cycle most of the time - the car sits for months sometimes. Nice to see that longlife pads exist, but what about the discs? Mine keep going rusty and cleaning them up is a pain. Does anyone make stainless discs? New ones are ridiculously cheap (£20), but I don't want to keep wasting discs - there's a lot of steel in those things which took a load of emissions to make.
That bird got absolutely smoked by the semi truck lol
These videos have convinced me to say no Tesla...NO!
no, still I want to buy it .
Rich you gotta get an outdoor cat at your house to keep all these mice away from living in your cars.
Rich looks like Deji/ ComedyShortsGamer with a college degree
Lmfaoooo he do though
I’m confused comedy shorts gamer is deji
Charm grfxs your lying.
This also happens to my Manual transmission cars.
Hoping someday Tesla makes a second version of the X that deletes the falcon doors and uses normal, reliable and inexpensive passenger doors like the Y has. I also hate the power doors, as inevitably when I am loading something in the car the key fob in my pocket gets pressed and the doors try to crush me.
Did those coolant connectors fail due to multiple battery removals? Seems like a silly complication for what could be a two hoses with a clamp which would last 20 years. How often do they expect the battery to be removed? Chances are if it needs a replacement then it also needs new coolant anyway.
love the burner sample!!!
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.
6:41 There you go insulting our jolly EV cherub.
Wow! Thanks!
What about putting threaded rods on mounting holes to allow alignment to be much more precise? I have used this on head gasket installs
“They all dribble when ya take them out!” 😂🤣🤣
That’s what he said.
Dude UR tripping.
In between the falcon wing doors and the body of the Cybertruck, I bet one of Tesla’s designers helped to make the DeLorean
Rich your mechanic is a Gem
I like these videos. Good old Rich comedy along with a lot of learning.
Awesome video as always and explaining how a Tesla works and survives is fantastic. I would love to have a Tesla myself but it needs to have the same functionality and interior capacity as my 2004 Toyota minivan all-wheel-drive which now has 155,000 miles on it and so far we have only replaced the belts and the water pump due to one belt breaking . The belt that broke was the power steering belt so when that was replaced we did the timing belt and water pump as preventative measures. Also flush the transmission and add a new fluid along with all the other fluids replaced. I manage rental property and the minivan will hold at least four garbage cans full of wood chips or leaves along with chainsaw leaf blower weedeater buckets of tools and other boxes of supplies and a roof rack where I keep a ladder and a pole saw trimmer. It is a better truck with the function of keeping your tools safe and secure than my large ram trucks for holding Tools in performing jobs. I don’t think the model X quite has the interior space yet to match the Toyota minivan.
Love how everything is explained
Hope Richie ,you are paying this guy some lovely greens for his time ..he is gold-dust !
Man those simply safe chimes and door slams are fucking me up here at home.
