Gone are driveshafts and gas powered anything; the psychos at EV West are chucking Tesla powerplants into anything from an E36 M3, to old 911s, and even a DeLorean. And by &#34;chucking&#34;, we mean precision engineering everything so that if you choose to return to dinosaur juice, you can. But with 5000 ft-lbs on tap... why would you?

You're damn right we did. Because here we find Chris Harris attempting to set a world record for the longest drift in an electric vehicle, and Porsche have lent Harris a Taycan devoid of its front drive shafts especially for the challenge. But can he get his crossed-up hands on the world record? Let's find out.

And boring though it is to draw comparisons with Tesla on every electric car story, this one matters. Because like the massive-selling Tesla, this BMW is a compact saloon with superb range and acceleration. But don’t stop there. Let Jack Rix guide you through the design and thinking behind BMW’s next-gen EV, then leave your thoughts on it below.

We all love ourselves some raw engine noises BUT electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 are making their way into motorsports. So naturally we had to bring Dai Yoshihara and the Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 Pike's Peak International Hillclimb race car to Tire Slayer Studios for a good ole fashion scumbag session. Be prepared to learn alot about what it takes to make an electric car fast on a race track and a hillclimb. Getting a car that's built for an insane amount of grip isn't easy to get sideways though, but our friend and Formula Drift champion Dai was very up for the challenge, enjoy!

If you're in the market for a rebuilt title Tesla or you want to rebuild a salvage Tesla from the auction there's a lot you need to know. Tesla has changed many of its policies recently and it may surprise you on how limited these cars can be. I still love my 2015 P85D that we rebuilt after it was totaled by the insurance company but it's not like owning a normal Tesla. Rich Rebuilds helps out with this one as he knows a thing or two about wrecked Teslas so enjoy and I hope this helps you out.

		Why Rich Rebuilds Is Opening A Tesla Repair Shop
	]]></title>
	<link>https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/13050/why-rich-rebuilds-is-opening-a-tesla-repair-shop/</link>
	<description><![CDATA[
		<a href="https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/13050/why-rich-rebuilds-is-opening-a-tesla-repair-shop/"><img src="https://www.gnarpowpow.com/contents/videos_screenshots/13000/13050/320x180/1.jpg" border="0"><br>Rich Benoit runs the popular YouTube channel, Rich Rebuilds, where he takes broken-down Teslas and brings them back to life. Now he and his business partner, a former parts manager at Tesla, are opening up a repair shop to help stem some of the demand for Tesla service. Tesla customers have often complained about having to wait weeks to get their cars serviced.

Benoit has been enchanted with Tesla since it introduced the Model S. He turned his curiosity into YouTube fame in 2016, cranking out videos about the cars, including how to buy, fix and mine wrecked Teslas for spare parts.

Today, his YouTube channel &#34;Rich Rebuilds&#34; is approaching half-a-million subscribers. The most popular episode—&#34;Can you drown a Tesla motor?&#34; -- has garnered 2.3 million views and counting in less than a year.

His followers frequently send payments to support his video blogging habit, and random items for his cars, home and garage. Someone sent him a life-sized poster of Elon Musk. Someone had pizza delivered to his house, which Benoit liked. On the weirder side of viral video stardom, a fan sent Benoit a puppy preserved in formaldehyde in a jar.

Eventually, he partnered with a former Tesla parts manager, Chris Salvo, who is also the owner of EV Tuning to open up their own repair shop. While they both hold down day jobs, this spring they broke ground on their &#34;Electrified Garage&#34; in Seabrook, New Hampshire.

&#34;I was never thinking of opening my own shop,&#34; Benoit said. &#34;But I'd been denied so many times by Tesla that I really started thinking there's got to be a bigger picture here, another player who can help others and get parts as well. Now that there's a place where people can go for third-party EV repair.&#34;

The Electrified Garage is getting customers who are out of warranty with their Model S's, and people who own Model 3's but can't get Tesla service centers to do work for them because they have after-market parts that negated their warranty Benoit said.

While CEO Elon Musk has long promised to ramp up the company's service in North America, Tesla is currently in a belt-tightening phase, recovering from mass layoffs and still under pressure to cut costs. Until they're ready to invest in opening more service centers, hiring more technicians and mobile service &#34;Rangers&#34; – who drive to the customers' door to fix their cars – there are upstarts like the Electrified Garage ready to repair, modify or rebuild.
