it was a good watch, except he says he wants a Taycan.

he's just doing his usual to troll tesla fanbois, while driving his I8 BMW.

i had to return the sentiment.

i watched the entire thing yesterday before mikey posted it, i didn't see/hear anything that would violate any rules.

possibly T is pushing back since the Electrified Garage hacked the model 3 code? and references selling that upgrade through Electrified Garage?

i think Rich will eventually see a suit for selling "upgrades" that are probably protected as IP.

Mmm. Maybe some incidental music in the background, I recall...?

Don't recall any other issue. I don't think Elon is that petty, but some of his low-hanging social media minions may be.

:dunno:

Video removed because it violated YT terms of service. Must have been subliminal or Elon called in a complaint.
was it removed? or did Rich set it to private to edit?

Do not know, but it seems he’s not Tesla’s favorite Tuber.
at one point in the video Rich goes off about having his referral code deleted. he has purchased a used X from them so he should have one. he stated his code was used to purchase 2 million dollars worth of cars but he was informed he wouldn't be getting any referral prizes.

which sucks, because he did have a legitimate right to the code and it's benefits no different than 100 other tubers that are getting Roadsters "someday".

i like the cars but Rich is the only tuber i watch regarding the vehicles. the rest are just sucking the teet.

I enjoy Rich’s take, he goes over what he likes about the cars but also calls BS on Tesla when warranted.

absolutely. and really, they should be supporting him, if the goal is widespread EV market.

but if he's selling their IP, then he'll wind up sued. it would be an interesting case to watch, the whole "at what point do you really own something" part is what i'm interested in seeing. kind of like comma.ai guy George Hotz and his suit with Sony when he hacked a PS.

yep, someone got triggered and YT pulled it. then they reviewed it and said nothing offensive here.

so he added the intro with him in the cow suit.
