Kyle Conner is the host and creator of the Out of Spec Studios and YouTube Channel. He is an expert of emerging technologies in the automotive space, especially EVs and autonomous technology.
On this episode we talk about why EV chargers don’t deliver their advertised kW; why the expensive Teslas are getting worse while the cheap ones get better; towing with the Rivian; riding in a driverless taxi; the weird Austrian EV he can’t register; his EV 3-wheeler; why putting electric drive-trains in old cars isn’t worth it; why the Mercedes EQS braking system is so strange compared to its peers; and a lot more!
