You know what you need to do now is find one of those overcrowded charging stations where people are waiting hours and hours for their turn to recharge, and then do burnouts with it.

you should paint match the intake tubing and the valve cover

ICE-T turned out SO CLEAN! And it works too! Most project cars completed in the week leading up to SEMA don't work. You guys set hard goals and you meet them. Respect!

[@ANYONCE-YTLA]

And the car hits hard too...

Ice? No it runs on gasoline.

Elon Musk REALLY wants to know the location of this car.

[@bradsheridan8658]

Lol you guys are the best

[@Gnrnrvids]

You worked out what is causing the charging error yet? :D

[@lawrencekendrick6440]

Oh boy, you've been ratted out! Something or probably a lot of things happened and are happening to that mcu, the service center hasn't gotten their cut. The data being collected by Tesla is now infucted by LS anomalies so all the software has to be retro-ed to GM standards. Turns yourselves in before it's too late!

[@MrCarGuy]

Just let Elon take it for a little spin. It's ok, nothing can go wrong. He had a McLaren F1...

[@MiGujack3]

He wants that VIN

Congratulations to the whole crew! You gave this drowned car a new way to drive, to turn people heads and make them smile again! Bravo !

The transmission hump on the back, it would of looked and felt more oem if you rounded, then leaving it square!

[@stampedetrail2003]

That's damn impressive to make those kind of modifications to any car. And have it run, and run well at the end of it. Ultimately it's Tesla's problem if they want to be weird with the supercharger stations. Electric cars and supercharger networks are being commoditized quickly, Tesla could be Standard Oil, or they could be Myspace, depending on their choices to market supercharging. Awesome series Rich, and crew. Always appreciate your humor and knowledge and energy. And it's about time you called out Samcrack, I always like to see that.

Stevons response to "I'm wet" was hilariously innocent 😂

25:35 I was just thinking about the cooling !!! Lol 😂the lack of grille would really cause problems for this thing. Eh lol.

[@Ittiz]

You guys need to call Tesla service with all those warnings and then bring it in when they can't figure it out remotely and see how they respond when they take a look!

[@JaredConnell]

No they don't want them to have a reason to disable supercharging!

[@JaredBallou]

Everything on this project, from the welds to the window trim, is immaculate. Amazing work.

[@himynameisryan]

The fact it was broken and you fixed it is incredible Would I do this to a working model S? No But the fact that a dead vehicle is now functional and used as an actual car is great in every possible way
