Rich Benoit turned his Tesla obsession into a viral YouTube channel. Now, he's opened the doors on an all electric car repair business outside of Boston.

Rich Benoit has been enchanted withelectric vehicles since the company first rolled out its flagship sedan, the Model S. The IT manager 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.

Dubbing him "Dr. Frankenstein of Teslas," his followers frequently send payments to support his video blogging habit, as well as random items for his cars, home and garage. Over the years, Benoit said, followers increasingly reached out asking where to get a good deal on a spare part, or offering to pay him to fix their cars when Tesla service centers couldn't or wouldn't do so.In the winter of 2018, Benoit partnered with a former parts manager for Tesla, Chris Salvo, to open up their own repair shop.

Their typical customers own Model S cars out of warranty, or Model 3's with after-market parts that have negated their warranties so they can't get Tesla do work for them, according to Benoit and Salvo.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has long promised to ramp up the company's service in North America.

Nuff respect to Rich Benoit what he is doing with scraped and crashed Tesla's is amazing.

AWESOME

After full charging the batterie - it discharges by its own standing in the garage while not driving - within 3 weeks. Nearly empty. Have to charge again. Thats not good.

He still can't weld tho

Glad he's able to Teslas owners with their cars

Problem Was... When He Would Call Tesla They Wouldnt Want To Sell Him Parts Because He Wasnt A Dealership.

Smart guy. He can probably do it cheaper than tsla

I Watched His Videos For Years...

This is what makes Capitalism great. People that see a problem & turn it into an opportunity.

I wish them well...

Useless car, too much hype for a useless environment car. To charge battery still require fuel for electricity, environment friendly?

Amazing business model

I saw his story last year. Loved it then, Love it now. 👍

This guys awesome!

I read about Tesla’s inability to service theirs cars and how that would also happen their growth plans. I love this example of capitalism, meeting the needs of the consumer.

States are banning tesla to open and run Tesla store, for example Wisconsin is denied last month to let Tesla to open the store and service center except superchargers. That is just crime again American company which is careers thousands of Americans!

Why doesn't Tesla just hire him

The country running inproperly this case there is got but more invited

Never buy Tesla until company has a service facility in your town

Well written. If you into trading visit our partners page instacryptonews , they have super fast tweets from all major coins.

CNBC is the Short Sellers propagando machine!!! They are the CNN of TRUMP. They received their instructions to take down TESLA the disruptor. Tesla will thrive and you guys will look like really bad.

Probably will get sued soon

Nice
