In this episode of the Out of Spec Podcast, we sit down with the OG Model S team (Dan, Alex, Tom) from the I-90 Surge to recount their epic cross country road trip in a 2012 Tesla Model S 85. Spanning over 63 hours from Seattle to Boston, the team faced unique challenges as they piloted one of the first DC fast charging EVs, a vehicle now over a decade old, against modern electric vehicles like the Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model 3. We dive deep into their strategy, exploring how they managed frequent charging stops, optimized efficiency with Tesla’s Supercharger network, and coped with the quirks of older EV technology. They reflect on the evolution of Tesla's technology, the surprising endurance of their benchmark vehicle, and memorable moments, including landmarks, team banter, and late-night hallucinations during their sleep-deprived adventure.Shoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.

On a related note, think we're measuring EV efficiency wrong. You shut down an ICE vehicle and it stops consuming fuel. The same isn't true for an EV. I'd like to see a test done over the course of a week. Run a set route, plug the vehicle in each night and measure how much electricity goes into the vehicle over the course of a week. This will account for Phantom Drain. It would be interesting if the Rivian was more efficient on the road, but consumed more energy than a Lightning over the course of a week due to phantom drain.
