Maybe rubbishing rather than refurbishing?
And he's an absolute muppet. I recently commented on one of his videos, at length, to attempt to correct some of the many myths he promoted about a Tesla semi that crashed and burned in the US. He has not had the courtesy to either reply or to remove the flagrantly false assertations from his video.
Another is the self proclaimed "AutoExpert" John Cadogan, who, although he sells EVs through his website, including the Kona Electric (which he used to own one of and cans it mercifully), constantly gets the clickbaiters riled with EV misinformation dressed up as "Fact". Even in the one video where he acknowledged that he made an arithmetic error (which basically reversed the conclusion) he made another systematic error which has been repeatedly pointed out, but doesn't fit his narrative. Apparently hypocrisy is not on the engineer's curriculum. Of course JC is against Tesla becuase he can't sell them on his website...
