Very cool video and for some Odd reason I just ordered some Milwaukee tools

the sand in the fuse is to extinguish the arching, not to dissipate heat

Thar she blows!!!

Primer colored paint is the only color that goes with spray painted black wheels.

Also install that rodent as the main fuse

Chris i think its gonna hurt us later on hahaha

Great video Rich!

Wild fuse system.

Listening to a man detail the lineage of fuse packs. The things you never imagined could be a topic.

Oh! I guess you guy's like Milwaukee tools 🤣🤣

Samcrac is drunk

Saliva does the same thing for silicone, FYI. wont stick to finger. =)

19:13 I work in aero and i think that you can use soap and water too instead of this liquid.

Wait .... if we can’t get the parts ...how does the shop get parts ??????

The sand is there to extinguish (quench) the arc when the fuse is blowing. The fuse was overheating because it was not tight and it wasn't making a good connection.

On a car this expensive, why don't they use stainless steel bolts on the fuse cover. Notice the rust on the bolts?

It’s always something wrong with these cars it appears kind of turning me off

The more I watch your tesla videos,the more is dislike tesla.

It wouldn't hurt to silicone the threads on the screws if you want it waterproof just a suggestion

I know a lot of people think these videos are all about Rich and his challenges with Teslas and other cars. But, he does a lot more. He literally teaches us. And, he encourages us to tinker safely. He has a lot of support. Chad for example. Chad is amazing teacher. Rich and him make for an amazing team. They use the Socratic method

Dude..is that rusting by the side skirts!!?

The reason why they don't want you to super charge salvaged teslas.

Do u know why the rats killed her. Bc they are rats

Why not just buy a Prius? Virtually maintenance FREE? No Tows! And all this other BS/ frustration??

Please get a handle on your vermin problem unless you plan on making a habit of replacing chewed Tesla components. Rats also are known disease carriers such as rabies and distemper.

This video is now sponsored by Milwaukee lol

This mechanic rocks ,man !It s good to keep him close /i ved learn few things tonight .Thak you !

Elon

Milwaukee really lucked out by you using their tools. It is not the other way around.

67000 miles and you broke down? I've got 180000 on my Toyota that runs on hydrogen-electric dreams not broke down yet

Why are we using money?

My best guestemate is the spill attracted the rats and then once the rats had explored the tesla, decided they felt at home there. Now I know why my parents never let us kids eat in the car

Is this common,how expensive is it

The Rat Mobile Lol

where is the spare key.

Great video 👍🏽

Rats didn't kill my Tesla, but they did build a nest in front of my radar causing it to not perform and prevent autopilot from engaging.

Ratti e cavi elettrici non sono mai andati d'accordo... 😊😊

Gotta move to a better 'hood !!!

go Chad!

May I suggest calling Rentakil before calling Tesla?

Chad is awesome!! Love your channel!!

Chad is the man. So knowledgeable

What do you want to bet, before I listen to the rest of this video. That they decided to use a soy based product it is very good for the environment as an insulation on the wires. General Motors did this some years ago. And ended up with an inordinate number of cars that the mice and rats just love the installation of the wires. Because the engineers are stupid. They came up with a fix for a problem that didn't exist.

Should rename the channel to Rats rebuild my car.

Shiny on top, a ratty rust-bucket underneath 3:39

When I worked for Time Warner Cable, we had issues with squirrels chewing on the orange underground cables where the cam up and into the box. I had a gentleman call to let us know that 10 minutes after our tech had left, having just replaced it all, that there was a squirrel sitting out there just nibbling away on the new line. After envisioning it, I just had to put him on hold. When I got my composure back, I forwarded his call to the proper dept.

this was cool dude

Amazing mechanic! Smart and very profesional!

This dude knows his shit....

Let's acknowledge the fact he is listening to Lil Wayne Starring Blink 182

They also killed a third of Europe a while ago

Gee, Do ya think Milwaukee is a new sponsor???

66969 miles. Nice Nice.

Tesla execs were the rats.

very educational and interesting video

Is Chad also called God of freakin Teslas, or is that just a rumor ? :)

What kind of tesla is it

No, but Elon did.

Thought Penthouse terminology was Model 3 only...

is mil a product placement or just a joke?

I decided to buy 2 porters for one millwaukee and i bet the last porter will last longer and look better.

66969 miles

.... and the sponsor is????

Wait, what tool was he using in this video?

Cool

By the way. Which tools did you used for all the skrewing stuff. ;-)

19:30 spit works the same but then all us boys know that.

I think it'd be sick to get an epoxy filled fuse like that tbh

Who is your mechanic? How do I contact him?

I could build and maintain that car. I need to find one.. Did you buy it wrecked and fix it?

So am I understanding that Rich didn't tighten the terminal screws on the fuse pack? That alone could cause all that heat. Somebody smack him in the head.

12 minutes in and I still ain't seeing no rats. I looked at the date of the video and it's not April 1. I left.

Damn RATS!

I wish this guy would do video repairs on other cars

Damg these videos are great

super late to this .. but he is wrong about the sand .. the sand is there when it blows and blows hard to not blow the whole fuse into small bits ... the sand contains any big arc / explosion so the fuse it self is in one part .. just google sand in fuse and i am sure you will find even exampels and videos on the different when you dont have sand in it and have it in

i think this video is secretly sponsored by milwaki

Why did the cop ask if he was aware the car was Prima coloured? Is that a bad thing...? What is that? :-) 0:33

That's a lot of rust for 67k miles

"Semper Fi"

Gay

"Your friend calling" "This doesn't really help" LOL! :)

General Motors Rats.

"Sir, are you aware this car is primer colored?" Was that a joke? I didn't get it. Can someone explain?

Rich : too many pet rats.

And that is why normal cars are superior in my opinion.

Elon - build a couple of those rat zappers into your vehicles.

Adam Calhoun is right.... you can steal a girlfriend with an impact gun

Look at the amount of rust on the rails! Tesla typical

You the man!

1:52 not gonna lie, for a sec I was like... "did they pull out the engine?"

WTF......A Tesla rustning this much on the insite...

his mileage nice

Rich... your my hero! Question. Had you, somehow opened the car, and made it vulnerable to rodent invasion? Is my 2019 Model3 vulnerable? Hope you got time to respond. Love to you man...

I cant afford to get one of these cars yet but I am a geek when it comes to figuring out what went wrong with things so thats why I love this video. Proud of you my brotha and hats off to my brotha Chad and his knowledge on those fuses. Love the extra BMW knowledge on the wiring harness as well. My girl loves them and I jokingly tell her they will burn our house down if we bought one jokingly. Again loved the video.

Rubbing alcohol.....spit works real well too....LOL

What code did it throw to know that fuse needed to be changes

Well, rats eats my trash too
