    No video
    It’s just a YouTube video with no video 😂
  • RobertW_in-OC
    Very informative, but check volume
    I enjoy the show, especially in the more concise forms. I just wish you guys would get your volume levels right. Many episodes lately have been quiet enough that I’ve had to max out my device volume to hear well, even in a quiet setting.
  • PatsFan6679
    Ad heavy
    15 minute podcast with 6 minutes of commercials no thanks!
  • Rainstorm
    Where’s Francie?
    Love the content, but Francie made the show. Sad to see her go.

    Rivian apologist
    Way to easy on Rivian. If this was Tesla they would have trashed them. Navigation issues are a big deal for the average EV owner….
  • Jrs661978
    Love this podcast and Out of Spec team!!
    Everything Out of Spec does it great! Great daily podcast about the EV world! Francie is great and knowledgeable! Always love Kyle nerdy input ;) Listen everyday!!!
  • MLID4
    Bidirectional charging
    Love the show!!! Please do an episode on bidirectional charging. I would love to hear how the technology is developing in the US. Would love to power my house from my car (ID.4) during blackouts. Maybe integrate with the grid etc. Mike
  • Peter (Wombat Model 3)
    Great content - and positive vibes
    Love your podcast. Informative, diverse topics, covered with positive vibes. Shout out to Francie, always positive and bringing it all together. I follow Electrek, Rob Maurer, Ryan McCaffrey, and others. Great that you guys added the podcast to “the growing number of YouTube channels”. Keep up the great work. Thank you. Peter.
  • Jammed inbox
    Good
    Enjoy pod. One note: latest eps have bad audio recordings, it’s the mics. Cannot use cheap mic in laptop, please get her a Shure MV7 or Hypemic or RE20 or such. Car audio is too good now for bad sound; it counts. Thx
  • Can’t find a name either
    Cadillac LYRIQ
    I have a ‘23 AWD on order that I don’t think I’ll ever see. Also a ‘24 preorder that I’ll probably be too old to drive when it arrives. I’d love a review of the car I want but may never get. Performance isn’t really important. Want a comfortable, decent range road tripper with semi-autonomous capability (ie: Supercruise). Fallback is a BMW iX xDrive 50 if it ever gets Highway Assistant. Not a regular YouTube user (prefer Rumble) but I occasionally check your channels.

    Tangents
    They will start talking about a subject then go on literal 15 minute tangents, only to later come back to the topic they had set out to talk about. Really bad.
  • Hcbha
    Episodes are not updating
    While the content is great, episodes are not getting updates. The most recent podcast episode is #56. However, only episodes upto #52 are showing-up in Apple Podcast app.
  • SAMIDI1
    Hooked on their content
    Out of Spec is creating so much content these days! Their podcast is so prolific with long episodes that I want to listen to that I'm getting behind on other podcasts!
  • Keelhauld
    Equalize Audio
    Love the discussion and reviews! Please work on equalizing audio. On episode 15 I had trouble hearing some of you but one of you about blew my ears out. Thank you for the content.
