From Out of Spec Podcast.

In this video, join Tom as he sits in his Rivian R1S and talks through a year without a Tesla—what he misses from his 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, what he doesn’t, and why he might buy a cheap used Tesla again.

He walks through the full switch timeline, from the Model 3 to the R1S in September 2024, selling the Model 3 in May 2025, and now driving a Ford F-150 Lightning, while also covering charging quirks, ADAS, infotainment, build issues, and real-world practicality.
