Rich Benoit is a remarkably funny guy and he single-handedly turned junked Teslas into a seller's market. He creates content for a YouTube channel called Rich Rebuilds. This features his adventures rebuilding and repairing cars. His automotive saga took off in 2016. At the time Rich “needed” to own a Tesla, but Teslas were $100,000 new and $70,000 used. He was too cheap to buy one. Loved talking about his journey on this week's Remarkable People podcast.
