We've heard of the teen who flipped not one but two totaled Tesla's for his mom and dad, saving them thousands of dollars in the process.
But now there's a new kid on the block... although he's definitely not a kid and certainly not new, he's been uploading car videos to his YouTube channel, Samcrac, for the last 11 years.

I was still in high school when the content creator was recording footage of his flashy 2006 Porsche Cayman S - and 18-year-old son of the year Winston Pemberton would have been in elementary.
Yes, Sam is far from new and he knows a thing or two about wheeling and dealing after purchasing an old generation Tesla Model SP90D, created pre-2017, for just $10,100.
There must be a reason someone would be willing to sell a motor for less than half its retail value? Well, the previous owner assumed his electric vehicle was 'dead' - I mean, you and I probably would have thought the same.

If mechanics can't fix it taking it to a garage then what else can you do? Pawn it really.
But Sam, a master of his craft who has almost 1.5 million subscribers on the streaming platform, knows his way around a motor - or should I say, battery.
The reason he got it for a cut price deal was because he was unable to even get inside the vehicle... and remember earlier I said you and I wouldn't have been able to fix it, I take it back.
It was as easy as putting it in rice, in fact, no because that would involve an incredible amount of effort to do - all the trips to the supermarket then you've got to empty it all into a container around the Tesla and fill it up - we're talking hours.
