Rich is back with another electric car project and this time it's a Turbo Hayabusa swapped caddy pickup truck. Rich and his team tried for the first time ever to fire up the Hayabusa engine and it didn't go so well. But they posted their L's for the world to see and showed that they're not perfect. Rich took a trip to Florida to visit an up-and-coming YouTuber who is building a flooded McLaren P1 and got some tools and expertise from Electrified Garage.

Rich is now working on the interior of the caddy and is installing Dodge Neon SRT4 Viper inspired seats as a nostalgic touch. Rich is also doing some DIY repairs and EV mods to the caddy, such as cutting out the intake and filling it up with the cheap and dirty way. Rich is also sprucing up the interior of the caddy, as it needs some better bolsters for the seats.

Rich is also a fan of Tesla and is utilizing Tesla hacks and EV maintenance to rebuild the caddy. He is also using Tesla for his new skin care routine and is offering viewers a great deal with a 30% off coupon and a free gift. Rich is showing viewers that electric cars can be modified and restored with DIY repairs and EV mods. He is also showing viewers that electric vehicles can be maintained and repaired with EV maintenance and Tesla hacks.
