I’m a big fan of Rich Rebuilds, a YouTube channel originally devoted to rebuilding scrapped Tesla cars and now expanded to showcasing DIY electric vehicles of all sorts. The amazing mix of mechanics, electrical work and computer know-how seems like the future to me. Grease monkeys are fading away while code monkeys are taking over. This episode where Rich visits a dude who his rebuilt Volkswagen Samba, the old VW Bus, so that it’s electric, is amazing. Remember the noise that rear mounted engine used to make? No more.
