As someone who has tried to show many people your videos. Doesn't matter if its Tesla related or something else. Your humor and style of video was not for them. I know this is something you have talked about before. That being said I never miss a video. I appreciate all your hard work. A big 👍 from a long time viewer

I appreciate the departure from the Tesla centric videos. Rich buys/builds a lot of the crap that many of us s guys wish we were able to!

[@max_power8510]

I originally started watching this channel because you took two broken cars and made one good, working car. I love making something out of, what would be, nothing to others. Plus you did it on a TESLA which no one really dared venture in trying to repair, and now there is the Electrified Garage, you helped push TESLA into releasing info on their cars to fix them, which I was able to do on my own Model S thanks to a large part from you, and now we have this awesome automotive channel with type of humor I dig that is a bit dirty, sarcastic, and silly. I like seeing all the different projects you have done on the channel, so just keep doing it the way it makes sense to you. We see you guys having fun in the videos and that makes each one worth watching for us. Thank you!

I've been watching you for a long time, since Car Guru. I think the biggest change in your channel has been you show building a lot less. That's really what I like to watch and got me into your channel. The chemistry between characters while working together on a project is the essence of what brought me here. Don't get me wrong, I find your other content entertaining too, just not as much as the building. I think that might be part of your viewership issue, at least somewhat.

Looking for this comment. I have been watching since the beginning (marathoned the channel to catch up) and the last few months have been...silly. And not good silly, but disjointed and all over the show, like I missed a few episodes in between. Bring back the structured content with progress and builds!

[@anydaynow01]

Yep the wild builds and skits are what kept me here not the Tesla content, that van build was pretty awesome, and I was actually looking forward to the electric corvette. So many cheap C4s out there, if they were to make an electric one and have the electric garage do installs for a reasonable price that's a new income stream! Don't get me wrong I love an ICE powered sports car.

They've been hidden gems for years. Great vehicles and as a long as your ready for gas prices to continue going up they're great vehicles.

[@Czechbound]

I like that this channel is "real" ... the projects are usually very involved, and you actually _make_ stuff. So many channels are just "parts swapping channels". That gets old really quickly. So I wouldn't expect a new "from scrap to working, finished result" every video - that would be impractical. A key member of the team is down too. So I'm happy to see the updates.

I liked this breakdown of projects and what worked and what didn't. A family member has a 1st gen Sequoia and it still runs with like 300k miles or whatever. They wanted to buy a 2nd gen Sequoia to replace the 1st gen, cause the new one is a downgrade apparently. Told them a Lexus GX or LX would work too.

[@VictorNUribe]

Literally the same vehicle just different names and about 15k to 20k difference.

[@austinaubinoe2195]

My dad has a 2018 sequoia, and I have a 2008 LX. WAY more room in the sequoia. Everything fold flat in that and the 3rd row is way more comfortable for long travel. I do agree though, 3rd Gen sequoia is a downgrade from the second. The 1st Gen is awesome, but the 2nd Gen has way more space with the independent rear suspension. That all said, if your friend doesn’t need seating for 7-8 people, the 200 series is freaking amazing.
