Thanks for having me on again Joe and team. The conversation about horse intercourse really showcased my range.
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..
Rich is one of the smartest dudes in the car UA-camr scene. Every bit of his success he deserves.
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
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
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
What's great about Rich is he's not even an engineer or mechanic by training, he was an IT manager.
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
We need more geeky cool dudes on the show
Holy fucking bots lmao, literally every comment…
@@HDitzzDH UA-cam is getting like Instagram with the Bots 🤦🏻♂️
The cook eggs on matches guy is kind of tempting though 💨

Imagine how much better off we'd be if everyone had a smart, mechanically inclined friend like this guy. He rocks
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
I bet you’ve bridged a few park/neutral switches to manual swap vehicles that didn’t come with manual ecu’s

I love it when my favorite UA-camrs 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
Rich is an authentic original but also hilarious, articulate, revolutionary and discretely profain.
*Profane
Does he sell profane and profane accessories though? I don't think so, fail.

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.
Yup. Now we need Asmongold
Lately it’s been nothing but “comedians”
@@cookintesticles8881 well i for one in canaduh need the laughs...not much funny happening up here...it's kinda scarey!?!!
Except he wont have a real christian on to correct all of his absurd assertions and mistakes. Dr michael heiser would be great, since joe knows him and cites his website sitchen is wrong, debunking the annunaki crap. But i digress, joe just wants to say dumb shit and not be challenged on that specific topic.
@@jonathansoko1085 preach it
Dude is a Genius..he's somewhere right now building something about to be mass produced.
I can barely install a timing belt/chain... this dude is the real deal.
Bro that shits so true 🤣
Lmao if you do,an ls is the engine you wanna try it on
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.
yeah this guy is definitely a genius... would love to get together with someone like that to help build my outback into a battlewagon
very difficult to do. More art than science.
Let’s goooo seeing Rich make a return to the podcast years later is amazing
i really bet he's gonna sell many many v8 teslas
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. 👍😎👍
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
I love Rich’s rebuilds, never miss an episode every Sunday. He’s a very intelligent guy 🧠
He's pretty funny, he should go to the comedy club sometime and do standup!
Cool I hope to check it out.

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.
Thats a great family. Nice.
Being a nerd is being a nerd! Doesn’t matter if your black white or purple, we all love the same thing. Making things our own way and being proud of it.
@@SeaFlaps being black makes everything different sir. Please don't attempt to diminish or dismiss my life experience and the history of my people and the shit we put up with in this country. And if someone is purple, there is a definite problem.
@@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. If there’s one thing we can all agree on though none of us wanna work with the purple guy. Sounds like a liability.
This guy is amazing , love what he do and how he expose those rotten corporations.
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.
I hear you. I felt the same way.
Agreed
Me 2!
Same here, I was just gonna listen for a minute but stayed for the whole thing since he’s so personable
Now we need Louis Rossmann on for right to repair stuff. I think Joe would be massively on board with that movement
Yes, please!!
He’s been on.
@@onyx9857 Really? Do you remember when?
Joe should have Mr Clinton on. He always makes incisive points on any subject Louis asks him about.
hell yes
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 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.
Plus his mom is smoking hot.
Best comment . But u can't trust these black guys
@@ohc50 😅😂🤣
@@ohc50 and i should trust a white guy because? lol i don’t trust nobody black white hispanic you name it
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.
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!
you're 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.
Rich, you're idea is simple and genius. Loved it.
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 😂
You should’ve stayed delivering for him
Hes in Massachusetts?
@@user-md8wv2bx8e yes. Been following him on all social media for a minute
We got Tedward and Rich in our little state.. I feel good lol
Big facts!! I know that boi Haitian too he just looks it 😂😂😂
First man to rebuild his own Tesla now first man to put a V8 in a Tesla!! This man is a genius!
Let's hope history appropriately remembers.

Took the words right out of of my mouth
@@victimsofthe3784 that's such a minor thing to go down in history?? There's been so many crazy engine swaps and they are all forgotten about after a couple of years

"You drive it. You blow it up. You rebuild it and you drive it again." - Rich Rebuilds, true driving enthusiast
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 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
Rich is a true automotive outlaw, love his attitude and his work - keep it up man!
He called it ICE-T for Internal Combustion Engine Tesla. This man is genius on many levels
Wow I had no idea. I thought because it had an ice-t color lol
thats such a good name
You gotta watch his channel, not only is he a genius, when he’s not talking to important people he’s extremely off the wall hilarious
Do you really think thats genius dude lmao
@@ThreepwoodFan not genius in the sense you probably think about it
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 UA-cam money one day to have some real fun with projects
Brother where am I able to see that Bel-Air? 57' Bel-Air is literally my dream car with the baby blue and cream two tone. I'd like to see how it looks and runs modernized
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
You're a narcissistic if you think ANYTHING on yt was made for Y-o-u.
"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.
Better have a big bank account.
He is amazing. What he did to his car is mind blowing. People dont understand that why someone is doing that. Love it
Let's be Honest We knew it

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....

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.

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
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
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.
He cut the car in half. It’s useless now
@@wilkin1944 if it’s useless why are people offering him 6 figures to buy it

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.
A little work? Tf is wrong with you.
@@Handleme23 beat me to it lol
No. There's a balance that has to be struck
I call it working to understand.but btw it takes a lil more than a lil work though lol
I'm sure he has many accomplishments, but appearing on JRE is not an accomplishment
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.
This is why I love this guy genuinely keeps the builds just for the memory of out that's dope
This guest is actually Rich. He keeps every car he builds just for the memories. That's an expensive life style. Props, haha.
Not really I’m sure he gets a lot back from his UA-cam channel. Plus people rent his v8 Tesla for shows
Rich is a genius and hes actually extremely funny...i will forever rock with him, Stephen, and the whole team
"It's a ticking time bomb. But it's fun!"
Maybe the best engine statement ever.
Cheers
hybridize it and use the alternator to power an electric Tesla motor; small, light battery can store energy during lower rpms.
Now Rich is straight up what we in the UK call a petrol head. Amazing. Right to repair taken to the limits!
I really admire this man for not selling his memories. That's really all we have in this life.
Well actually you can't sell your memories but you can sell a car and still retain your memories of it.
Rich is a true legend. Love this dude so much
Uncle Rich is the fricking man. His restored BMW i8 is one of the sickest EVs seen.
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.
This guys UA-cam 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
Very impressed with RichRebuilds. This young man is on the game. Thanks for having him on the show.
Hun saying “never” to “are u going to sell it?” Is him saying “it’s already my coffin why would I sell what’s going in the ground with me?” 😂

Rich is the Man! Dude is so Humble, yet Very Intelligent & seems very thoughtful! Easily one of the best reoccurring guests on the JRE!
It's just heartening to know there are still REAL gearheads out there like this guy. It gives me hope for our world that increasingly contains "no serviceable parts". In fact, it is now no longer possible to obtain even service manuals for many vehicles...even fairly primitive internal combustion ones. Manufacturers like Royal Enfield will only share such manuals of their newest motorcycle models with "official service centers", only giving owners an "Owners Manual" that merely advises them not to drink the battery contents.
I hate that. Seems like all companies and governments seek to rid us of any independence….duck Tesla
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😂
‘I try to avoid all fanatics. Have you tried DMT though?’
Spoken like a true die hard car guy. Love this guy 🙌
Love Rich and his work. He's a game changer, and badass.
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”.
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.
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.
Rich is awesome! He actually started with 2 Teslas. One was in a flood and the other was totalled. He made one good Telsa out of them.
This guy obviously knows more about cars than I know about anything.
LOL!! Definitely. I feel the same.
This guy is inspiring to listen to. Well composed, interesting, and hard working - what an awesome story.
"you build it, you blow it up, rebuild it and do it all over again" must be nice...
He should just sell it to whistlen diesel. He never has to worry about seeing it ever again
“You gotta redesign the entire engine”
That line made me laugh way harder than it should’ve
I was laughing my ass off at that part.
Or you can order it pre-build from Steve Morris
One of my fav DIY UA-camrs, thanks to his vids he inspired me to build a V8 Prius track car soon lol

This is the only kind of Tesla I’d want 😂 Imagine hearing a loud ass V8 burnout coming from a Tesla
Great guest to have, matter a fact, you literally need this dude and Elon on together, let’s make tesla great again.

This is exactly why I’ve hesitated buying a Tesla. Felt like another closed system, like apple, completely reliant on the Tesla company. Parts, upgrades, software… ehhh…
I dig what this dude is doing. :)
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.
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.
He's the one person that got me thinking about electric cars and specially Tesla
"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.
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.

What bout a v10
I know absolutely NOTHING about cars, but this guest and the way he spoke made me feel as if I understood and learned something.
I know very little about cars and I was fully engaged in the convo and learned some things along the way. Great
Agreed. Shows how amazing he is
Rich does some awesome projects and always makes it hilarious. Always look forward to when his videos drop every Sunday
Rich is the friend we all need. Humble to the bone.
Rogan was asking some very good questions. Like someone who knows about cars.
Love listening to Rich talk, very articulate. One of the smartest dude's out there
Rich is great fighting for right to repair while making great content
He has a good feature on 1320video in case anyone wants a really nice detailed interview and spotlight on the entire car 👍🏻🏁🔥
That’s a light car! Remember, a civic weighs 2800 lbs in coupe form. Crazy 😜
I like this dude. He was unintentionally funny last time
Never heard of this guy but I already love him. Always gives me hope when I see people recognize the problem with things like planned obsolescence or dependence by design.
You really need to check out his UA-cam! He's quite hilarious!
This is his second time on the podcast. First one was great
You should have used a lucid. Some interesting design choices with their frame.
