The robert redford cameo was awesome
Linus Tech Tips should learn from this guy how to present ads
aint the open wire is one of the pot wire
Why are you keeping the 12v battery when you have the dc/dc converter, just run your light etc through the converter
"New white dad in no time" lol. You are hilarious man!
It was like running on empty, and you swerve left and right to get gas to the carb and limp to the station.
My new favorite channel. I have a ton of catching up to do. Thanx alot!!!
hahaha
Looks phenomenal
You sound like you are going through the same steps I had been going through to modernize an old EV. I had no clue what I was doing, but I prevailed.
why not use the space cleared by the fuel tank for the batteries?
Use a mix of lead cell and capacitive batteries. This would give you the benefit of using solar sells.
With my SEED COACH!!! Hahahahahahah
Dawg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the intro that ties into the ad is epic
Thanks for the Surfshark Super Bowl ad!
Anyone else shit their pants a bit when that measuring tape got unrolled across the battery posts?
Why not put 1 battery in the front and one in the back ?
I like the content of your videos but I would suggest improving the camera work.
Rich, damn it, just do stand-up already. I know absolutely nothing about building cars (and probably will never venture out to try) but your videos are highly entertaining and super interesting. I can watch your channel for HOURS.
Im hooked on learning ,,this gye makes it a laugh n joke ,,,🤔🤯💯😂
L😂 DUUUMMMBBB !! Hahaha 🤣 your funny dude h
I laughed so much of the promo that I started cry :,-)
I have literally subscribed because of your ad... well done Sir
Was this intro supposed to be funny?? 😳
i've ordered the tri motor cybertruck fsd & plan to buy the S dual motor as well..i have plenty of solar to charge them both & a backup battery system as well..long time invested in TSLA
I Love your builds, but your content is less build more jokes and some random shit. Would be really appreciated if you just stick on to the build part.
If you made the ads on TV i would probably watch that rather then the shit i should be watching! Keep up the superb work.
One of the best ALthers ever. From Canada 🇨🇦
Slick just slick. Thumbs up
Are you getting a cyber truck?
So are you serious about the sperm donor stuff lol
So far this is one f my favorite builds of your. You are doing a much more professional looking job than the roadster.
they're gonna have to start giving out oscar awards for the commitment and creativity these youtubers are giving to their ads😂😂
At 23:15 you are showing your electrical connections to the controller, and I see that the polarity is reversed. What's the reason for this? Red to Black, and Black to Red, could cause you all kinds of grief later!
wtf was that intro
Wow Stevens mullet is amazing he should be king of the mullet people and is Leenda around. I joke but I love your vids bro there great you'll have a million Subs and no time and I should know I have 46 lol keep it up bub
I hit like after the first three minutes!!!
I know you got friends and family first thing that I was thinking about don't change keep doing what you doing and your videos are quality again keep up the good work.
just getting around to watching this one the day before Christmas 2020. The Intro promo for SurfShark got the like even before watching all the techy stuff.
Why don't we have cheap batteries like that in Europe😢
Linus Tech Tips can't top that transition.
Conduit will definitely chaffe too!, must use a rubber grommet in the jagged holes first
When advertising becomes fun.
One Day you will look back at this video and the size of the batteries and you will LAUGH SO HARD !
OMG... All that for SmurfShark He deserves Sub man
Is this a Dailysoap???
A new white dad? What kind of fucked up shit is that?
New white dad is an awesome line
I had no idea casey affleck knows about electric vehicles.. real nice of him to hold the camera for you too.
This is absolutely amazing!! Where can you get this kind of content!!! EPIC!!! GEEEZZZ!!!
What about Motorcycle AGM 12volt batteries? They’re small and pretty good?
A crummy commercial!
Wow that intro to surf shark 😂😂😂
Rich that was the greatest into/segue ever. Also subtle flex on the articles, I hope you had some haters in titters. Cheers!
hope that battery pack don't come loose and hit you in the back of the head. on the other hand, umm, wheelies?
My 13 model 3 has been siting for 3 years wrecked is battery toast?
I really hope your not going to stack the second battery up that high. Better to sink the lower one into the floor of the trunk. If the car ever hit something at say 60 mph the forces trying to keep that battery moving forward (into the back of your head) are immense. I always prefer to have no more than 50% of the battery above the floor of the car so in an accident it stays put. Another option is to move the second pack out under the hood. Also helps with weight balance.
I wish I had a new white dad
3 first min of this video bullshiting :D
Tim Dillon and Rich should win an award for their commercials. Ridge Wallet Yummmm
Bro. Get the new aluminium cased LiFePO4 cells from AliExpress. $40 for a 90ah 3.2v cell.
haha i love the intro haha so funny love the sense of humor lol
Did you install that J plug inlet sideways!?!?!
25:29 Pot wires lol
POT MAY NEED A CERTAIN Impedance So POT terminals are not connected properly!
Is it just me or does Steven's voice not match his looks at all?!
Im a normal dude, I go to market basket and get my generic cereal like everyone else
What kind of contactor is that? Dose any one know the spec's? I am trying to buy one rich
If the nissan leaf batteries may be your choice are they going to last long enough?ive hward the batteries arent great
Bro. The built up to a shitty VPN commercial. Roflcopter.
It sounds like your potentiometer is switched, when you depressed it i heard a click like a microswitch. since it only has two wires, i bet it disconnects the pot while its not being pressed. that should explain that code
Im starting to think he really does sell his skeet...
You trigger my gag reflex on the regular. You should wear a US flag suit with a dollar bills tie and run for president. You're a model American by every measure.
Drop a like for that ad
I upvoted this video only for the introduction to the advertising. I would upvote twice if google let me. Maybe I’ll set up an extra account and come back to do it. About the actual video content’s quality though, I have watched all videos eversince Rich’s first, and I’m not sure yet. It’s doubtful content at best. Especially the humor. Doubtful at best. Be aware.
wow an ad I couldn't skip
was expecting a 3 phase motor and controller, but still fun to watch .
The level of commitment to the writing in this video opener is absolutely amazing.
Rich: I’m on a budget Tesla fan boy: F your budget, put the world’s best battery in D**** Rich: you don’t even own a Tesla because of the cost Tesla fan boy: you hate Tesla for saying that
Good news, Rich! China is going from the 1 child to the 2 child policy!
You went full nerd on this it would be quite the good idea if you share your ideas in full engineering detail on a blog and keep the videos simple? Just a suggestion for better documentation!
Where is the new video man?
Best Segway
So no video today
If ghosts float, but they have no mass... How is Earth's gravity holding them down?
I was going to suggest checking the continuity of your pot wire with a multimeter.
Best VPN ad ever!!!
why not make a batt pack where the fuel tank used to be as we;;? well I do remember you saying you wanted one spot.
Will this be street legal? Don't you have to homologate it or something? I mean it's an ev conversion, here in spain it's impossible, do you guys now any good place for this kind of stuff? Apart from russia.
hey rich thanks for doing what you do for right to repair
The only channel were im excited to learn about random EV stuff and watch paid for promotional loot.
Ahahahahaha the Ad!! Good video and content but.. Surfshark.. omg.. ahhahaahhaa
You should build a 3d printed life size power wheels
2:55 the tabs 😂👏
I just subbed. Thanks for doing the coolest work ever. Awesome channel 👊💯
I already got a VPN but i might just buy fatshark cause of that fucking ad. amazing

Yea, imagine us with Black Dads right? Poor, broke, left us with our mom, always pimping and selling drugs! LOL
I don't know how much you got, but I don't think surfshark is paying you enough for an add of this quality.
Hey rich what did you do with the 12v battery comparment, was there anyway to put a leaf battery in there or could you add wiring ? or cut it out to save weight?
