Everytime I watch a Rich Rebuilds video now I jump at the sound of the BMW i8's door opening sound since my i3 does the same noise. 😭 I keep thinking someone is outside in my car.

I don't know about this because you're losing top end acceleration and speed in an electric car that's already fast I would have put the transmission to a electric motor for more torque

you know what could be a good idea? to use the oversized screen (since no longer wont be used any way because its broken) to mount the Gear knob shifter, like a Renault 4L Gear know .. i bet you've never saw one. One of the most well designed 90's European vehicle. or is it 80's? i don't know. Thank God there is Wikipedia. Other good examples of European Beauty: Ciroen 2cv (litterally means it has only 2hp) Fian Uno (Or if you would like more speed, Fiat Uno Turbo i.e) and of course, the Tar smasher: Opel Corsa A Cheers

I've said for a long time... this is the greatest idea since sliced bread, for California hot rodders. You can't fail a car for emissions when there's literally no emissions certification for the chassis. It's just too bad the Tesla weighs so much... but the awesome aero coefficient makes up for it.

Tesla, RWD, Three pedal six speed, YES!!! - I love electric cars almost as much as dinosaur fuelers. Engine swaps are almost always more fun, no matter what. A Tesla Software Engineer let me drive hIs personal car (Thank you Syed) for about twenty minutes (Totally thrilling, my first electric car drive). Even the little German toaster i3 was fun.

Just out of curiousity. Could you not somehow (if you know someone, or yourself), hack into the computer of your tesla and enable fastcharge, and block them from having any access to control your car? What kind of shtty company has the audacity to remove features from a car you purchased. Its your property. Isn't it? Or is there not an aftermarket solution to this? IF not, there should be... hmmm?

Rich, where is the mini man? You need to watch the original film of the Italian job, its such an icon British film🇬🇧. You can then see what a mini can do!! Don't mess with the mini, just make it in to an original Italian job mini 🚗 (we are in the self preservation society, its from the film)
