This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. I think it's important for us to be introduced to people who look like us who are doing things that they don't talk about.

We don't see it. There should be a whole show devoted to this gentleman.

It should be in his fourth season. We should

be following him as he rebuild cars. He's a tech genius. He rebuilds Tesla's right now, but I'm

sure he does everything else. Let me welcome to the show for the first time

Mr. Rich Benoit. Thank you thank you very much for having me on the show I

appreciate all your kind words some of them aren't true necessarily but I appreciate it regardless.

No, let's be factual, okay?

When I was watching what you, you go around and you, do you get Tesla parts from like salvage yards?

Tell us your process.

Yeah, from salvage cars or salvage yards,

like you name it on the internet, all kinds of random places, yes.

So what started this journey for you?

Basically, to be frank, my, it's my, uh, my cheapness, my frugality.

Because I honestly, a few years ago

when my friend that worked at Tesla came to my house

and said, you got to try one of these cars,

they're great. And I drove one for the first time and I loved it and I said I got to have one how much is it and he's like it's going to cost over a hundred and I was like hey hey hey why don't we chill on that for a second and you know over time I realize

I have to get into one of these cars a lower price point so I ended up actually just

repairing two cars and I took two cars that were broken

smashing together and I have a working car.

Okay and I know they don't like this so tell us why did you know that you could do this rich binois why did you know that you could take two broke down teslas
