If only all mechanics were like Chad - a man that takes pride in knowing stuff and pride in doing a good job. Bravo.

This kind of garage needs to be in every state. Wow.

[sasgeek]

I love watching an expert do their thing!
Thanks for explaining the annual maintenance in such a clear, no BS, video

The gum chewing is really fun with my headphones on. I thought that my cat was cleaning itself loudly next to me. Nope, just uncle Rich chomping away in stereo.

I just take a 30 mins class about servicing a Tesla and I'm not even mad about it. Great video!

Why doesn't Rich have a million views yet? He gives a lot of free info every week and he's funny doing so. Share this channel for our bro Rich people! He keeps it Real !

When I first got my model 3, they installed the steering wheel incorrectly from the factory, which they considered an alignment issue. When I went in to get it fixed, they asked me in a condescending tone, "Are you sure you have an alignment issue?".
I gave the guy a blank stare, and then said, "Yeah, pretty sure."
Tesla service guy, "Okay, alignments take 30 minutes."
2 hours later...
Tesla service guy, "Your car was out of alignment."
Me: "Holy shit, I had no idea...."

Conclusion: from watching this video, I'd rather get my model 3 serviced with you guys. Good thing I live in Massachusetts.

I have started doing small repairs on Tesla’s recently in Tampa area and love the content. Even something as simple as battery swap and not getting messages is something u won’t see on diy YouTube! I hope to open small shop since I closed my phone repair shop to learn to repair Tesla’s!

Thank you for posting this Rich!
There are literally no videos for people like me who want to service our Tesla

[Solkre]

I saved a ton of money on my Tesla service by being too poor to afford a Tesla.

I hope this shows how important it is to: 1) Get someone who knows his stuff to service your car.
2) Go to electrify garage if you don't know anyone who knows their stuff.
Congrats guys.

I own a 1980s Porsche, and live north of you. This ‘maintenance’ is kind of hilarious. I look forward to owning my first three in a couple of weeks, thanks for the video Rich.

[bikecommuter]

As a motorsports fan I found this interesting and thank you for no "Reality Show" drama, just some cool techs doing what they do.

[heysiri]

I find it hilarious that even Rich doesn’t trust himself to work in the Electric Garage

Hey, at 19:30, that was my M3 that Chad found the lose and missing frame bolts on! Electrified Garage for the win!

[maxpelletier]

I'm happy to see that the car wasn't only designed to be built easily, but also designed to be easy to maintain.

[whitslack]

I'm so happy that I live in New Hampshire and will be able to take my Model 3 to the Electrified Garage. See you in February, Chad!

This video is awesome. I have a new model 3 with 6k miles. The care the guys at electrify garage show as they go through everything in the car make me want to drive up there from Mississippi for service. Super impressive.

I did some work on my 2007 jeep last month and some of it I couldn’t do so I took it in to the shop. I was telling the mechanic I got a Tesla and he said, “when I have to work on EV’s I am retiring.” I told my wife, there is going to be a huge market for mechanic shops that can work on Tesla’s in our area.

[danielallred]

I don't own a Tesla and have never worked on my car. Just watched this whole thing. Very informative. Thank you.

[frollard]

Swapping on my winters (a year after my last thanks)...this is an awesome quick reminder of all the pins and bolts. Thank you again.
