First Out Of Spec Hub Podcast - Dave Conner Picks Up Macan EV

[@karlwolf2]

Man out of epec dave has the gift of the gab. I could listen to him all day

[@georgeharrison4564]

Good choice of first guest, Dave has the right formula for podcasting. Easy casual banter with life experience, backed up with intellegence and the ability to say he doesnt know but is willing to learn. Tassie George

[@TheRealMerchyBautista]

Great first atrempt, Kyle! But jist like the rest of the comments, i agree. I would setup a primary camera with everyone in frame, and separate between hosts and second camera with guest. Camera lighting and angle is everything. Audio is great btw!

[@GeeMcC2]

Loved this! Just you 3 talking about EVs. 🎉 great! This was interesting, funny and just entertaining to listen to. Great work! I loved the banter and genuine stories. Keep it up!

[@JosephHawkins]

What happened to Francine?

[@anthonyc8499]

Francie got burned out and has pursued a new opportunity. It was a crap ton of mental effort to line up topics, guests, and do prep work every day. She parted on good terms and has said she may pop in on the Out of Spec channel if a project comes up.

[@jimparr5412]

Kinda been missing Francie on your podcasts

[@SparkySho]

Me 2 bad

[@markfitzpatrick6692]

Welcome back tjmen

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Dave I want to see that road trip home in the Macan EV, that will be great content!

[@dandaigle4546]

this was a relaxing podcast, absolutely love it

[@eddiefara]

the day the plaid gets traded in will be a historic day in the world of OOS. Since the day it hit the curb you’ve been considering selling it. The depreciation is such a tough pill to swallow so I completely understand why it’s been a considered and elongated process.

[@karlwolf2]

So much better than the other podcast with Isaiah... Plus you have proper microphones.... Thanks kyle. Bring back Francie to

[@James_Ryan]

Audio sounds perfect to me!

[@johnodavidson]

Right..and who cares about the dogs in the background

[@KyleBrightman]

I agree the audio sounds great. You need to give Doug Demuro a tutorial.

[@AffableAlpaca]

Love this in person format, hope to see more of it!

[@EhabAboud]

Loved this episode. Audio was solid. Vibes were good too. Dogs were a wonderful addition as well. Dave is even better when he's not doing a piece to camera. More of the same please

[@F1travels]

This is a great setup! Don't think there's much you have to change. Sound is perfect.

[@SparkySho]

It’s not perfect but very very good

[@NickDidelot]

Really enjoyed this, love that it's just a chat and not a scripted topic. Feels like we're just part of the crew hanging out in The Hub, this could work really well with the variety of Out of Spec contributors that are available to come on. Audio was perfectly fine, dogs were not a bother, camera falling was great.

[@TheRockHardKeg]

This is what i always wanted the podcast to be. Keep it up!

[@nevco8774]

Today, late in 2024 with a tremendous improvement in EA, EVGO, other CCS1 quality of charging plus access to Superchargers with adapter, Superchargers improvement as well, there is no need to choose any Tesla. Instead there are plenty non Tesla sweet choices for any kinds of needs. Moreover, just in several months plenty of non Tesla will come with NACS port. Plus plenty of new models are coming to market. The time to own an EV is becoming more interesting day after day.

[@Swapnil638]

Love this! This is the first time I’ve wanted to watch a podcast from a creator who mainly makes regular videos

[@robertlmoon]

Love the HubCast format. Especially like the 2 camera setup starting at 21-ish minutes. Hope to see more of these from the Hub.

[@Sqeptick]

This is what I had hoped the OOS podcast would be. Great conversational format.

[@BilAppleton]

The problem with a start up is that eventually the price of the product costs less and less to produce as the start up is able to produce their product for a lesser cost. It’s always the end user that becomes part of the investment into start up. Yet as an early adopter you are able to one of the first to have the latest and greatest!

[@charliebrockway166]

Sound quality is very good, better than 90% of KZbin content. Consider a non-Cannonball (torture free) coast to coast. My suggestion - 16 hour driving plus or minus 1 hour with adjustments made the next day (drive 15 hours day 1 day 2 limit goes to 17) , 30 minute lunch stop, level 2 charging overnight for EV’s, safely done with 2 people, . I think this would reflect how most would travel even in an ICE vehicle. I’m sure you can improve on the concept but this would prove that EV’s see closing the gap to ICE on extended trips. Congrats on new location 👍🏼😊

[@deej628]

Shoutout from southern Oregon! Hope you gents had a great thanksgiving.

[@manuelwilson9214]

Dave is an excellent source of information

[@jovceata]

Nice Out of Spec mom is getting her new car new soon, great podcast and setup and the dogs are great guests

[@cbenson513]

Edit: looks like Dave leased the Macan, smart move. Porsche does have high MF on leases, but if you shop dealers you can find it varies widely. Some will deal. Check out Redshift ECU swaps. Their Taycan improvements are real (option for more regen, slightly faster charging, Tesla-like initial throttle response, unlock pwr, etc). Maybe they'll have a Macan option at some point.

[@vlad2838]

The audio was terrific-using SM7Bs is the way to go. That said, I still like Isaiah’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and eloquence and hope he continues his involvement.

[@Twenty1035]

Kyle - This new setup is working well. Just need to sort out the camera setup. Great to hear that you have hired Tijmen. What will he be doing at OOS Studios?

[@mozu305]

I love the dogs! Gotta keep them. We need more Walter content.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Fort Collins Auto dealers just rock!

[@daviidfm923]

Love this format.

[@mike168168]

We have the 2016 Macan. The button situation is terrible! Took me about 6 months to remember what all the buttons do. I’m sad to hear the new one is about the same.

[@panameradan6860]

I’d much rather have the 2016 buttons/switches than what’s in a Tesla

[@johnidiaquez1303]

I hope he focuses on the Macon on the videos. The CEO has made silly comments and is now a political figure. I love the banter on the trips you take

[@carolinebray82]

Congrats to timing and Dave !

[@vetteb96c]

All the talk of depreciation, at least you can write it off as a KZbinr as most cannot. Like the setup.

[@andrewhurstcars]

You guys could teach Doug DeMuro something about having decent audio!

[@Josiahrocco]

Please keep doing these episodes!

[@rmblue22]

Enjoyed this episode 👍🏼

[@581rma]

Looking forward to seeing Out of Spec Dave‘s EV road trip video for that vehicle

[@johnpoldo8817]

I hope Dave does an episode on Macan regen w/o one pedal driving. My assumption is regen slows EV down adequately, but brake pedal is needed at every stop light and stop sign.

[@ojeskog]

@@johnpoldo8817That's what I was hoping, but I've driven the Turbo. Even with the regen switch set to on, it is so weak, so the car barely slows at all. Unless you use the brake pedal. Then you can see in the HUD how in the pedal travel it initially starts to re-gen, and it has a lot of it. If you stomp on it, it will use friction brakes too.

[@johnpoldo8817]

@ I don’t think pressing the brake pedal to achieve regen is relaxing. Automatic regen from releasing accelerator seems better. Hopefully, Dave chimes in on Macan braking.

[@djcali001]

I would love it if Kyle went with Dave’s suggestion at the end of the video and lent him the Cybertruck while he has the Macan! I am 100% there for the Dave and Kathy Cybertruck road trip video.

[@volkero3132]

I suspect that the reason the Macan Park Button is not working could be because it’s being pressed too quickly. I’ve noticed a similar issue with the turn signal lever on my Tesla Model 3.

[@joshuasmith7369]

Dave, your birthday is January 18; I was born January 14, 3 hours and 15 minutes before my mother's 20th birthday. Funny thing is my mother still blames me for her being in the hospital on the day I was born.

[@SashaZhang-c6u]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@AlejandroEV66]

Great episode

[@LJLion]

Audio fairs well. A perspective setup for the camera would be ideal with all subjects in the frame. Topics transition would serve well when editing. This was definitely a good listen.

[@ojeskog]

Looking forward to listening. Is Francie ok? Haven't heard her for a while...

[@laloajuria4678]

She left....

[@johnpoldo8817]

I think she was burned out, possibly not respected enough for her great work.

[@craighermle7727]

Nicely Done!

[@InternetDude]

Need a hub tour video

[@steelbruin1]

Trip across Canada, I would be up for that. Vancouver area ioniq-6 awd ultimate. It needs a good workout. I could match up with Dave (same age) group) and keep him from running out of charge. 😂

[@garybushey965]

Definitely need to do something with the walls. Too bland

[@DirectCurrentRides]

Like this format! Best to mount mics off the table if you talk with your hands because you get a lot of table banging in the audio, but sounds good otherwise. Cheers to more!

[@manuelwilson9214]

Dave, please keep the wife happy......

[@samatwesu]

Sounds clear!

[@samatwesu]

When Kyle drives Out of Spec Dave needs 3 grab handles specifically for Kyle’s accelerations in the middle of controlled slides. Too funny

[@jaredschoenbrun]

Such a good episode

[@BradfordSparks]

How did these guys initially fund all these EV (Model S, CyberTruck, Rivian R1, Model 3, Model Y, etc) purchases? Did they buy bitcoin early on?

[@nicholasyoung2794]

Kyle should create an Out of Spec museum and maybe place older cars in there, also somebody viewer may want to buy just because it's yours. You could also create a Meme for the car. Just thoughts.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Love to have Out of Spec review on the New 2025 GMC Sierra Denali, on a Tesla Supercharger version 3 or better 3+ to see how well it does. Here in Canada we still have dire shortage of functional 350KW CCS chargers. I was worried with the new administration GM would run away from EV's but it looks like they are still committed to electric vehicles!

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Sound works, if this is going to be the format going forward Koodoos!

[@keitha.1888]

I guess this is the end of batteries included...

[@johnpoldo8817]

Brilliant deduction.

[@John-209]

It’s a good idea, but I’d love to see Tommy Molo here with them

[@keitha.1888]

@@John-209 absolutely 💯

[@chuckhazzard7295]

You can not pick up a Tesla in Mass unless you are going to register the Tesla there. We are from Vermont and had to pick up our Tesla from NJ.

[@mhsohel47]

Lighting, Sound, camera position, bg door etc needs change and improvement

[@OutofSpecPodcast]

Yes all is temporary!

[@mhsohel47]

​@@OutofSpecPodcastThanks and make the X logo black not orange

[@BMWI35433]

Scotty Kilmer showed Kyle Connor on his channel talking about the plaid's value

[@johnpoldo8817]

While this studio should work well, hopefully it doesn’t minimize remote contributors.

[@evatrics5902]

I’m not sure I would try a Trans-Canada hwy cross Canada race. We drove our Ioniq 5 on that route last year, and the Prairie Provinces mostly have 50 kW Flo’s and some old Petro Canada chargers that are also 50 kW. It’s fine if you want to check out Medicine Hat or Moose Jaw, but it’s no good for a race.

[@panameradan6860]

Au contraire, that’s the kind of BEV race I’m more interested to see! So much real-world driving is done in such scenarios!

[@evatrics5902]

@ if the OS gang was going to do this trip, they should use slow charging cars, like Niro, Kona, Chevy and Bolts.

[@AstroJoe-ts7qd]

Poor Model S. I think it's better than the worst Tesla vehicle 16:20

[@davidbaker9943]

Jordan bashing first 10min lol. Camera down at 11:49. I do have to say the setup is kind of strange. Don’t know if it’s the camera angles or Kyle is sitting so low in his chair. Content is good. Also pretty sure this whole show is just to tell his dad he can’t have the car lol.

[@junehanzawa5165]

Buying ANY car 2 years ago at the height of the pandemic so called "parts/chips shortage," was the very worst time with the most inflated prices I have EVER seen. Dealers, of course, took their normal scams to new heights with some vehicles being sold for more than twice the MSRP by some of the worst dealers out there.

[@samatwesu]

I love has Jordan keeps getting thrown under bus. He curb the car…. it was $12k in repairs, let’s change topics… Mom accident was pale in comparison to the destruction Jordan caused.

[@JK4507]

OK to reminisce about that crash during the holidays. In hindsight, I now blame the car, not Jordan!

if I get a Porsche Taycan used what year is best and can the software be upgraded to current software..?

[@Darrenraitt]

Canada yea, but a trip across Australia wouuld be more challenging 🤔

[@nevco8774]

Dave, I understand your love for Tesla. However, by not stressing so many videos on Tesla you might get your subscribers number higher faster.

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

HellCat pretty sweet ride from Stallantis

[@SparkySho]

Dodge?

[@stropes5147]

How can you call a vehicle “solid’ when it’s falling apart?

[@dandee5770]

Yes come to Saskatchewan. Lol

[@stanmisiak5634]

Porsche is pulling back on EVs

[@L6Jeremy]

lol I had no idea Dave was Conner’s dad

[@evGuyFL]

Great individuals make great podcasts. Why am I making popcorn for this? go figure... Q8 E-tron driver here, yes I got it after your review.

[@EhabAboud]

more dogs please

[@boostav]

Throttle House is Top Gear from Temu, let's not mix sh** with chocolate.

[@vhol93]

11:46 oops

[@LJLion]

Btw Macan without the option of one pedal driving is no bueno. I cannot drive an Ev without it, one reason why I sold my Etron, Regen wasn't strong enough compared to like my Lightning or Model Y. EVs need Regen, Period.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Yes Model 3 Performance would make for very interesting content, especially square set of wheels with some 18" forged wheels and see the road trips and how they work out!

[@ArnoldWinters]

Kyle, why don’t you tow Kathy’s Macan back to CT with your CyberTruck? Saves 1,800 mile on your mom’s Macan lease, you can add a video to your channel.

[@mhsohel47]

Plz do not mention throttle house and Hagerty is the same sentence. Hagerty is whole another lever. The Icon episodes are another level. Throttle follows the trend. Says trash if everyone says it's trash and biased negative and kindda sponsored. No real journalism about throttle house. Jason cammissa says what the fact is. After Cybertruck video which got awarded for, many people trashed him for allerging of taking money. Anybody else will never make video aboy Tesla but he did Tesla videos anyways for journalist integration anyway. Hands off for that 👌. Jason is the legend.

[@kevins718]

What? Throttle House and Jason Cammisa did not have any beef, and they collaborate often. Please don't make any beef for them, just give them turkey instead 😂

[@JK4507]

I agree. Nothing but astonishment for every Jason Cammisa's Icon series of videos!! Love TH too.

[@joshuasmith7369]

Kyle, how about doing a "Star of Texas drive or race?"

[@rmkep]

What value does Timan (sp?) add to these or any of your Out of Spec programs? Making that guy a full time employee indicates he has something on you or, you are making too much money.
