Epic advertisement segway
The robust black disappointingly shelter because grip concordingly regret into a accessible cycle. inconclusive, impartial step-brother
this guy kills the segways to sponsors
"and I'm black" 😂
What gauge was the cheap wire?
Put more effort into your brackets! Nick would appreciate that.
this intro is golden lol!! mans making at the least $40k a week! lol!
Mo Leenda
I just realized what he meant whenever he said eggplant dear God
Leenda wow 😍
Leenda ass is sexy.
Your videos are well done and educational. Keep up the great work.
*I Wonder* out all the comments, who discovered the WHITE GLOVES at 3:58 ?
About buying an EV project car. Most people finance their cars. Unless you have a substantial surplus in your bank account, few DIY people are going to be able to get a bank to finance a EV. Especially one that is homebuilt and has limited appeal and resale value.
Long wire on shunt is going to drop voltage..and hence the current flow value is going to be incorrect. Would recommend RS485 with modbus or canbus protocol..
I think another term for the DC Shunt is a Current Transformer. Used to take a proportional sample of a high current, so only a smaller safer current is used for the meter.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
“Bulkhead” not fire wall
We need more videos with leenda
3:06 Rich: and went riding off into the sunset Leenda: We ain't... go- in- nowhere!! We ain't... going nowhere! We can't be stopped now... You know the rest.
It me up.
Do u still have those part. I really need them.
I didn't know rich ate happy meals 15:53 bottom right there is a happy meal
😂😂😂
found who to lead Top gear
Ok now kidding about donating your seeds on your sponsor spots is getting out of hand and into the cup,I feel like your not kidding about it
Easily the funniest guy on ALthe.
Soooo, when do you put the autopilot in your electric mini? Great video, keep it up!😁
How can anybody hate on this dude ...
Thats a lot of babies Tesla is going to have to block!
a contactor is just a big ass relay/solenoid?
The opening is bad ass
dude ...you are the king of adds ...i love how you present them
Rich wtf, what kind of intro is this!? I haven't watched your videos in ages and, damn, this is awesome. Your quality improved and the jokes make me smile.
July 4th was a good day for business!
Did they really bleep out the word high?
You gotta Break that so you can Brake that bruh.
ABS could melt if that controller gets hot.
Fuck ya funny man I’m a longtime subscriber. From when Tesla didn’t help you with bolts etc hahahah
Love your Channel
Wait you get paid to beat yo meat!! and im out here wacking for free. I have been led astray!!!
that butt of leenda...
The intro is a killer 🤣
There is nothing clean about Tesla. Focusing on the end product is the problem.
Rich. Your voiceovers are awesome. You got British humour my man 🇬🇧😂
The fuse should be as close as possible to the battery.
There wasn't enough of leendas butt, unsubscribed......😂
That conduit is called liquid tight flexible conduit it is rated for wet locations and supports vibration. As a journeymen electrician this was a good choice.
this dude is talented, best advert ever
Dude, not sure of your background but watch your wire gauges as 400A fuse should be having a substantial amount of copper conductor in series to not create an expensive “toaster”. Using 2nd hand wiring is an option only if you understand what you are doing. The previous owner/hobbyist might not have crimped the lugs correctly, or drilled out the hole to fit a bolt and with that you could create a point of failure that results in destroying the connected part or your EV. Also ensure all wiring is correctly installed/routed and with no mechanical strain to your connections as the vibrations will again lead to failure. Other than that your project looks pretty cool....
I would have put the fuse in directly at the output of the battery pack so that there is protection in case the cables get damaged
holy cow i was going crazy hearing the kids jumping around, thinking it was my room mate watching the teleie. was so fun to notice it. keep it going bud :D
😅😅😅 spank bank
Probably the best first 2 mins of any video I have ever watched, genius !
Oh Richard, are you my 'pop daddy'?
Richard use to watch ... I am getting over your short...bit of Temper . Even if understandable. The betrayal not of Tesla goals. As much as the planet itself and all creatures on it..... Your a young man still and have children. Witch hurts that you would turn your back .. on their future It Appeared you knew about globalization by corporate America that despite your growing up around those maintaining the my flag is bigger then your flag type. You shared the view that globe warming Was real. As real the saving the planet is also a real deal NEEDING electric cars trucks and their like and lots less trees burning-less burning of everything. Rick. You need income from ALthers and you were on your way till you got simple if you get my meaning. Rejoin the save the PLANET crowd ... And push that like a Christian don't be Christian though that's hard in 🇺🇸 just push the green sustainable cause ... Tesla is a means if not the way. . Bet 😊 hope jfreaks not see. this be very short fill in blanks
Intro ends... next RR video for another intro 😁
Your shows are better than a lot of the car shows that come on TV. I don't know much about electric vehicles but you make me feel like I know a lot.
So your a ham shanked.
LOL.. he said aluminum angle iron. I know.. it's not a big deal. Just funnin him. Yeah, not angle, not iron.. but 1 out of three isn't bad.
Dud your a trip I’m from Boston to we need to talk I deal with a lot of cars if you need some help with parts or get rid of them send me a message
She makes a nice view.
I'm brown i mean down!
I'm no kitchen knife guru but my controller says to mount it to a metal surface for more heat sink to protect the controller. But I'm sure the abs will do the same job🤷♂️
I think I might be one of your kids - daddy?
Imagine being the sad sap selling the electric beetle lol. Went down from $25,000 to $5,000. 🤕 ouch
Bro, those are called relays @14:15. "A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals. The switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms, such as make contacts, break contacts, or combinations thereof".
Shouldn't you have a fuse immediately after the battery in the case the cables short? Maybe that's in the next video... or I missed it.
All these thousands of comments NO ONE even noticed the name of the Bank he gets his deposits from... THE SPANK BANK!!! 😆😆😭 WTF
HAHAHA... you're the best dude... just watched 2 min and I'm laughing my ass off...
It may roll, but the car won't work very well is my guess. I have driven cars with a bad clutch. You have to put the car in first gear and then start it. Then, to switch from first to second, you have to feather the gas peddle to get it to go into second. Gears will grind. So how is this going to work? You put the car into first gear, then engage the motor so now your rolling, and then, grind gears to get it to go into second and third. Or, put it into fourth and then engage the motor having a really slow start and then grind it into fifth. What kind of a load would doing such a thing put on the electric motor? An amp draw like that on an electric motor might burn it up. I bet you don't even have the motor correctly connected to the transmission. The moving parts of the motor have to have a specific tolerance to the moving parts of the transmission and there is no way you performed such a thing with a piece of card board as a visual perception. Machined work has to be precise. SO what now.... we save a tree with using your displate,com, exploit a woman or women, experiment with high voltage/amperage electrical circuits, and do it all at the same time. Ridiculous. Absurd. Good luck and God bless us all.
How many richrebuild babies have I come in contact with?
Ocala?! My hometown! 🙌🏻
Soooo funny
I had to pause the video on intro. Laughing too much. Where did that come from? Lmao
cheers big ears . .
Rich should consider being a comedian his comments are crazy but funny!!
Why you fire you assistant? Bring back the mix...
5 sec in and im laughing a race joke
It’s crazy how good this show is. I’m watching a car show when I’m not really into cars or mechanically inclined! I like the sarcastic humor, the intellect, and gems of knowledge about other shit like laws and buying toilet paper in bulk. Great job! I wish you all the best. I don’t know how nice his YT money is, but he should have a show on TV fer shure.
That intro had me dying lmao
So after the swap how will it pass inspection? Is the motor strong enough to get to at least 60 miles an hour
I had no idea where you were going with the donor thing... LOOOOOOOOL your sponsor intros are amazing!!!
New England Spank Bank.
😆 u are savage
Are you my dada?
Now that Rich Rebuilds isn't into Tesla anymore what happens to the Electrified Garage ? #SpermBanksdontsellTeslaService.
Rich, dare you to try and rebuild this one! insideevs.com/news/455369/stoned-driver-tesla-model-3-crash-oregon/ BTW the guy survives!
Will you ever work for the "enemy" TESLA? Just sayin!
Video begins at 5:48. The preceding part is all ADVERTISEMENT, FUCKING RICH!
69 cream way LMAOOOO
Rich is the only person I can watch the ads for😂😂
Hey Rich, why not get a Go Pro camera so you could free up both of your hands ?
With his humor Rich should be hosting The Daily Show.
Rich! My brother, I really feel like you should upload more often. Your content is amazing!!!!
Bank of Spank?
I’m dead.....I can’t hahahaha....f***ing killed it hahaha
Get better bolts, those bolts are grade 2, super soft. Great for mocking up or figuring out what you need but change them to at least a grade 5.
Lmao 😂😂🤣😅😂 aye rich a fool that ALthe paycheck took me out
One of my coworkers off-handedly mentioned that their timing chain needed replacement and instantly I responded "Mini cooper?" I was right.
