HELLCATS ON THE DRAG STRIP, TESLA FSD SUBSCRIPTION, BMW Z4 AND TOYOTA SUPRA | EPISODE 2

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Podcast's second episode covers a diverse range of automotive topics. The team discusses their recent driving experiences, including Kyle's time with a Tesla Model Y Dual Motor, which he found to be a near-perfect car with great power and efficiency, though he noted a firm ride and overly quick steering. Ben shares his experience with a Tesla Model 3 service visit for parking sensors, while Mike highlights the comfort and efficiency of his Audi e-tron daily driver. The discussion then shifts to the Dodge SRT event, where Jordan experienced Hellcat vehicles on the drag strip, including a six-speed Challenger. The Audi SQ5 Sportback is also reviewed, with the presenter appreciating its "District Green" color and performance, despite questioning the fake exhaust tips and the lack of a manual transmission option on the most powerful variants. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription service, with the hosts debating its value proposition compared to the upfront purchase and the limitations of current features versus promised capabilities. Finally, the team touches on the discontinuation of the manual BMW Z4 in Australia and its comparison to the Toyota Supra, with a general consensus that the manual was offered with an underpowered engine, and the Supra's buffeting issues remain unaddressed.
