Restoring A Cheap Neglected Tesla Roadster To Make A MASSIVE Profit

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode of Art Of The Flip, we buy a very neglected 2010 Tesla Roadster, but it's not just any Tesla Roadster - it's a Japanese import that was one of the first 12 that were exported to Japan, a batch of cars known as the "Signature 12." It also only has 5,000 original miles on it, so if we can get this looking presentable, it may return an absolutely insane profit.
But there's a lot of work before that happens.

[@Goooooo]

Rex, 27 hours of labor / Freddy, 27 minutes of voiceover

[@thefirst555]

An AI version of freddie !

[@AshGTE]

They are all on Salary I'd imagine. Its a clever move from Freddie to get people like Rex and Jack on payroll because you couldn't afford to pay another company to do it. I think he needs a grounds keeper/Handy man for his house too. That's a massive project.

[@ianmangham4570]

​@@AshGTEMoney 💰 is for spending 🤠💪

[@carlchristianfosse9839]

It's basically a channel for Rex, but he works for Freddie, so keeping it in the house 😉

[@blue-wanderer4392]

@@thefirst555 How much do you need to pay for AI voice?

[@Da0R30]

So Rex finally got his channel and got Tavarish to narrate it for him, 😂, gold!

[@jimboh.2654]

Of cource how else, if Rex buys car it's freddies, everything is freddies

[@giltperez]

I’m getting some “How It’s Made” vibes, I dig it.

[@TheRealAOTF]

Definitely what we were trying to do!

[@yhelloh]

It felt like a lionel trains dvd video but modernized. Just me?

[@cz9860]

I thought I was the only one getting that vibe.

[@woj95]

Tbh, I didn't even remember i subscribed to this channel 😅

[@Aqualung1981]

Neither did I 😅

[@emansuela_real]

Same lol

[@backtoobasics]

Yea buddy.

[@johnhopkins4920]

Same here!!! Glad I did, though 👍🏻

[@JayJDee.]

SAME I was like huh but no complaints im here for it hahah

[@stevencosta]

Rex does an amazing job. Freddie is lucky to have such a talented crew on his side!

[@TiptronicSS]

Agreed, they make a great team together.

[@donpyro6389]

I think y'all have to say they are lucky to have Freddie since he only not that pays them but gives them platform for future and a lot of extras for being a care taking guy yall forgetting he takes good care of people around him!

[@MrEhabAdelUAE]

@@donpyro6389i feel like you’re discrediting his crew rex and jack are really good at what they do even in the P1 rebuild they did alot of the work aswell sure freddie helps them alot when it comes to social media but they deserve it

[@nicksims2827]

I love the pace of this video. Really suits the patient approach to detailing. It’d be even cooler if you updated it with an actual sales price though, and then rolled that into another one and so on

[@Veldkamp88]

I'm super happy for Rex getting all that well deserved video content. He's really a cool dude.

[@zshark365]

$150,000 seems a lil low. Love the new channel and now Rex gets his shine. I know this is new and it will only get better. Unlike other posters crying about this and that and the format, I say keep doing what y'all are doing and much success to you all.💯

[@For4Reel]

Low? For me it seems very high, so it must be okay.

[@AJUSA1]

Wheeler Dealers style... Hanging around Mike rubbed off. Nice!

[@alexandrepaiga362]

This was a detailing video, and what we really like is fixing stuff videos. How did you fixed the charging issue? Why Rex removed the dashboard? That’s what’s interesting

[@michaelmiller7598]

Long time ago, I would hope more The Art of the flip articles would come on the forum. I am glad that you revived this thread. Thank you!

[@rogerlove4805]

Freddy, your a lucky man to have such a good Detailer as Rex. The man works magic. Well done Rex!!

[@Rex.werks.]

No its the other way around 😅

[@iCadaverx]

Love it. I'd love to see the same video but with more screen time with Rex actually being Rex along with Tavarish there too. You guys make a great duo.

[@EdAlt0055]

HELL YEA!!!!! I completely forgot this channel was a thing

[@Jupiterider1]

Congratulations on the third channel. I will be watching all of them. 👍🏼

[@zerocool278]

Rex you nailed that paint work and taught me at the same time how to go about doing my car which I've been putting off, Thank you!

[@baoquoc3710]

The most unprecedented surprise of the year, Tavarish had an empire Of car channels now? Damn this is fascinating 👏

[@KC-ug4zn]

Love it. I’m definitely still waiting on episode two can’t wait for that.

[@lloydbellis7360]

Great going Rex 👍👍👍 Car turned out great. 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@SimulatedSid]

Really dope work 🤘

[@Johnnyvette383]

Rex got skills! Great Video guys! Hope to see more in the future.

[@diraziz396]

By the effort applied, Rex is in for the Bid. Respect for that 💪Greasing shown.

[@carsoftheuk]

More videos like this please, I absolutely loved it!!

[@joshrepik]

I just unsubscribed to a lot of channels but left this one, and like two weeks later you finally upload ❤

[@FastEd_120]

Sweet ride. Truly art after Rex got his hands on it. Great job Rex.

[@Danandrea737]

This is basically a lo-fi version of Tavarish channel... NEAT!

[@PeteSimpson]

Wow, Rex did an absolutely amazing job on that Roadster, so did the dry ice cleaner. Freddie should mention this channel on his other teo channels and hopefully that will mean more subscribers thus more *_Art Of The Flip_* videos. And yes, I've just hit the *Subscribe* button 👍 Keep up the great work lads, cheers 🍻

[@alexandresimoes8714]

Firstof all, tbh, I don't remember when i subscribed.😂😂 Great work Rex! My only sugestion is... Show us all the work! Mechanical and interior.

[@secondeffect]

Omg it's finally here, the first video!

[@TheRealAOTF]

first comment on first video on the new channel! frame this!

[@eroxnox]

Was worth the wait....hopefully there will be more like this.

[@olliehuggins1567]

I feel as if Freddy has always had a bad balance of professional and youtube, but this ties it together. this makes all his channels work, and I'm sure that Mike Brewer would be proud of the format that was used! keep up the good work, and would love to see more of these.

[@gf04rce76]

Great tutorial Thankyou - some more detail on the different polishing compounds would also be interesting - anything that helps me choose the right stuff for the right stage is always helpful 👍

[@keszty]

Wow. Love this content! Great work Rex!

You found your calling! I LOVE this video and can't wait to see more like it. GREAT JOB

[@TheRealAOTF]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaelday6987]

Creating a detail video without any 50/50 images is pretty bold. Great job guys!

[@AndyC4342]

Cool lookiing car! Rex is a champ! I know there's a ton of action figure collectors out there who would love to talk to him about his sticker removing skills! 😅

[@conorholmes4796]

Rex with the dry ice assist is absolutely deadly, incredible work buddy 👌

[@M0L0TOV]

I really do love the How It's Made vibe. I can watch this all day.

[@Arcturuseyes]

Rex is a goofball, but he is an artist when it comes to detailing. Detailing takes skill

[@hafizmohdfadzli3814]

I really enjoyed this! Seems to be setting a new standard to traditional detailing videos. Hope to see more flips soon!

[@mangothor7500]

Amazing! Thank you Rex and Freddy!

Insane transformation, Rex killed it 🔥

Shout out to Rex he killed it!

[@DesiTorque]

Rex is Amazing!

That rooftop is freakin great!

[@xmetal280]

Watching Rex get off that PPF just gave me flashbacks to last weekend, and the 18 hours it took to unwrap my car with 6 year old 3M vinyl on it. I knew it was worn but by goodness I never anticipated it being such a disaster. At least my paint was beautiful and glossy underneath! I'm jealous of your Roadster, that is a fantastic, beautifully understated color combo.

[@WarriorPaxo]

oh no i hate reading shit like this my car has 8yr old avery dennison wrap ive been leaving it on because of my dread with removing it lol

[@xmetal280]

@@WarriorPaxo Well, get yourself a heat gun and maybe a steamer, set aside an entire weekend, and prepare for your fingers to peel and fall apart for a week after. There is no good way around it, you just gotta cry and swear and get through it. Good luck!

[@hugomanez]

Love the tavarishverse

[@entronics]

This was great, I'd like to see some of the stuff you guys did on the inside of the car also. Maybe you could do a seperate video on your 2nd channel showing that stuff. But either way Rex did a great job with this car.

[@legopeople104]

Back in 2015 they brought one of these to a job fair (can't recall the job they were promoting) anyway the car was black and orange a beautiful spec. Turns out the owner of Alabama Power owned this car. Welp I sat there the whole few hours we had and started talking to the man that brought it out and he eventually let me sit in the car. I sat in the car still just talking to the man the whole time anyway this is by far my favorite Tesla design and looks like it will remain that way👍

[@rpmotorwerks]

I know this channel will find it's footing as all of Freddy's channels do. I hope in the future there is detail about car shopping, including deals that don't work out, actual mechanical car flipping rather than wash and sale, and insight into decision making like choosing which parts to replace or not based on profit. So basically Wheeler Dealers but Freddy and crew 😅

[@orlandoburgosandroid]

About time to start the channel. And what a car to start it with. NICE!

[@hanstandt9587]

Amazing work !!!!!!!!

[@AlexWilliams-g1h]

Took them long enough to make a video, I have waited for so long❤
