Description

Rich Benoit went from buying a left-for-dead Tesla to becoming a successful YouTube entrepreneur and launching The Electrified Garage, the nation’s first successful EV-only business devoted to repairing Teslas and other electric vehicles. Today he is the world’s most popular DIY expert and car aficionado, and now he shares his story and expertise. People are fascinated by Tesla: the cars, the stock price, and especially its headline-grabbing CEO. Rich Benoit was the first YouTuber to pull back the curtain on the cultlike business model that is the Tesla company, and he’s personally battled its consumer-unfriendly business practices. In Going Fast and Fixing Things, Rich provides readers with behind-the-scenes access not only to his Rich Rebuilds YouTube channel but to his off-camera life as well. Throughout his life, Rich has almost always been the proverbial “only Black guy in the room,” but despite the fact that online car culture—especially electric vehicle fandom—skews overwhelmingly white, he has become the most popular car rebuilding guy on the internet. His voice on the page is funny and intimate and a little goofy—just like his video persona—but always tempered by a clear determination to create success for himself as well as for his fans. Going Fast and Fixing Things also includes tips to help readers fix, drive, and buy their own cars, along with advice on how to defy the disposable-is-better consumerist ethos that saturates our current culture.

  • Good stuff. And not just for car nuts!
At first glance I know what you are going to think….oh look, another “I made it” book from a youtuber / car guru who is just looking to totally cash in. And while there is definitely some of that going on here….there is also a ton of solid heart-felt and brutally honest tales from the Rich zone that make this one well worth the read. And if you look close enough, you might just find some life lessons we all need to learn on how to be less afraid to fail, more open to opportunities, and how to handle things when it all goes sideways. Personally, I was surprised how much Rich put himself out there with this book, but I think if you follow his channel on YouTube it makes all the sense in the world. Total must-read for anyone who’s a fan but also a solid read for those who value keeping it real. ... show more
