It's because of you standing up to Tesla that people can do more as far as service with the car they It cost you alot but you done more than you know. Just my opinion though. Love all of your videos! Been here since the beginning of your channel

Only Rich Rebuilds could advertise a sponsorship using male prostitution as an example.

The honesty about this is real, that is why i sub + the sarcasm is top of the line !

Poor Cam, I remember helping my uncle renovate a building that he turned into a daycare center and I got paid handsomely, I also learned a lot about construction and turning a old looking building into a safe awesome looking building. This stuff is educational for kids, whoever did this hurt Cam of a great hands on learning experience.

“People Suck” that is correct Mr. Rebuilds.

Love you man, but you are missing one of the biggest gains. Not only did you give yourself a one of a kind education of tesla going through all that shit. You shared it with so many people who learned from you. People who don't have a youtube safety net that helps fund their fuckups. Even if you don't intend to even if things are going well, doing this every so often intentionally can be a beneficial experience. That being said, if you need a free pair of hands for a few days to help off set some costs let me know.

I have to agree with many here, the lessons you’ve learned here are invaluable not just in time and energy spent fixing this model x up but also the value of your experience here will be able to be passed on to others. It’s not a total loss and I’ll bet you can still recoup your money someday

This is why I bought my model S 60 for 32k. Looks and runs like new, and no labor involved. Uncle rich's videos have scared me silly. I was going to build a EV from scratch for my channel. Not anymore!

Great lesson in this video. And good job to everyone who brought this model x back to life. Absolutely incredible!

[MrStars]

Rich, you are The Man for being honest and telling it like it is, with all it's good and bads

[trickys]

On the positive side, there is one more tesla on the road because of this project. Plus you learned tons from this & gained aome subscribers! Your a legend, congrats on getting it running! Reminds me of triggers broom in the UK tv show only fools and horses...

[-Dash-]

Yeah, that was a waste of time and money... But remember things could always be worse Rich, at least you`re not Samcrac.

[granadakimj]

At least you learned a hole lot, so it's not a complete failure...

[YT]

The interaction with Scarlett had me laughing my ass off.

[opnavesea]

they reported you for child labor laws. WOW the internet is full of terrible people with too much power

[wxx]

Your honesty and transparency is refreshing. Please keep it up. Buying a salvaged car is one thing, buying flooded car is another, especially an electric car. Fyi cars float in only a couple feet of water, that's why that car was in the middle of the street. Good luck.

I've worked on a house like this once. Gutted to skeleton and even had to replace some stringers. Would have been cheaper to bulldoze and drop a prefab.

[TheDro]

Think of it as paying for college except the money you spent was actually useful in learning what you were looking to accomplish... that aside, isn't it also technically a business expense for your channel?

[stevenhackwelder]

Thank you for your honesty and being realistic about fixing cars. Tesla's are no exception to rebuilding them and it would be too easy to say it was. Sorry you lost on this one. Love what you do and the @alls for doing it!

[goclunker]

Thank you for being honest Rich. This is what I like, transparency, not BS like other rebuild channels. Nothing is free.

[espritix]

Great advice Rich. I think this also applies to the classic car resto world. Everyone thinks they’re gonna buy an old car. Paint & engine swap for 5k 😂. My motto is whatever you think your budget is DOUBLE IT!!!! Theres always unknown with a project vehicle.
