I haven't paid much attention to Teslas, but I stumbled upon this guy's video and he, and the subject, are really interesting.
2.5 million views in one month, which seems like a lot.

Yes, it's pretty cool what he's doing, and pretty eye opening on what Tesla does and does not want customers to do with their cars.

Interesting!
Seems that link is to a documentary about the guy but the guys own stuff is here...
I knew about Rich Rebuilds but wasn't really checking out much of his videos until i saw the Motherboard interview, then i started watching them again. 
That’s excellent.
I have been following Rich for a few years now. I have invested in many butter knifes.....
Completely different vehicle but same problems.
That battery unit scares me. I mean it SCARES me. I’m an engineer by training and occupation. I respect the hell out of batteries. I still remember when I started working for a small firm that did large UPS systems years ago, we all got a very stern lecture about the one component that was guaranteed to KILL you. Granted, we did run a lot higher voltage than what I think Tesla does (we were over 500) but if it’s much over 48, I don’t care to be around it.
One of my good friends was a very lucky walking, talking, example of what it means to briefly become a conductor. We sometimes called him Stumpy because his right arm extended about 3” below his elbow. Only once did we ever ask to see the exit wound around his stomach area.
I watched his other videos but ive never seen that one. Good stuff
Really enjoyed that. Thanks. He now has one more subscriber.
Will check his channel out.
Watch a Nova show called 'search for the super battery' ( or something close to that) to help appreciate how much energy is stored in a Lithium ion battery.
I spent too many hours in submarine battery wells to not respect batteries.
Good watchin! Thanks!!!
