I was going to post the Turbo Del Sol video today but none of you would have believed it so I posted this instead...
In filming this video, I was the first person to ever run out of gas in a Tesla and overheat a Tesla. Side quest complete...
Next video is on the Del Sol for real tho! Should be out soon!

The idea that you made an oil filter for a Tesla says a lot about how much you love making these videos.

Thanks Chris, Enjoy it in good health!

I've been driving a Tesla for over a year and I can't believe I've been neglecting a vital part of my car's maintenance. Thanks, ChrisFix!

The amount of dedication Chris did for an April fools joke is amazing.

Chris, I relate to your friend. I purchased a Esilveraso, but for some reason they called me weird when I said I needed an oil change to a E-Silverado. What an odd car community

[ceilingfan]

This is probably the most elaborate April fools prank I've ever seen. Bravo Chris 👏🏻

[_RiseAgainst]

I still can't believe i feel for your last April fools joke. Where you said you would turbo the Del Sol. Classic!

I was about to say at the say at the start that I don't think a Tesla is that loud, then I saw the date of the video. This is probably one of my favorite kind of April Fools. Im glad my favorite automotive YouTuber made a video of this.

[nhyy]

due to the nature of how genuine this video is, i have absolutely no idea if he's joking or not

[SpaceAvaliable]

I have neglected the oil in my Tesla for far too long because I couldn't find this anywhere. Thank you! This is why you're the GOAT

[magichwoo]

Dude this was one elaborate April fools joke. Wow, you opened up a filter and soldered a computer board on it. I love the fuse in there too. Awesome video.

[NomanJalal]

Starting from a Tesla filter to a Tesla oil and then the Multimeter testing to get it to actually make it look real is hilarious!!!!
Love your videos man!!!

[I_TheLandlord]

Man I forgot how good of a job Rich did on this build, ridiculous.

Couldn't find the drain plug on my Tesla so I drilled a drain hole in the same location, my oil came out clear so I guess it was changed before I bought it. Thanks !

I just had to pop in here and say this - thank you. Sincerely. Right now I've got my car in pieces in front of my house (good thing of course, cleaning intake manifold/TGVs, replacing gaskets, etc) and am in no way worried about the outcome. Like 4-5 years ago I was TERRIFIED to do anything to my car and my entire experience from there to here was started with your videos, now this entire teardown of a lot of stuff that I haven't done before just seemed natural and comfortable which under regular circumstances would have cost me THOUSANDS in labor alone to keep a car I love very much running smoothly. Thank you so much from all the people you've helped and been able to build up their confidence to make them self sufficient!

I scratched my brain wondering why until I realized 1.) Engine swap and 2.) April You got me good not gonna lie haha. That took me hot second. I'm so slow lol

[nataliadeavilapires]

That foil and solo cup trick was honestly life changing, Thanks Chris.

[InsertNameHere-ou]

I love people who don't say "I'm quitting youtube" as an april fools prank but actually put some effort into the video.

[johnrice]

I wonder how many people actually think a Tesla needs an oil change...🤔 Lol! 12/10 for the effort that went into this❤
