About Tailosive EV Podcast

Tailosive EV Podcast covers electric vehicles with the tone of people who have spent enough time with the cars to be impressed, annoyed, and suspicious in the same conversation. It is not a clean showroom tour. The show lives in service-center delays, tire mix-ups, battery failures, infotainment resets, road-trip planning, preorder temptation, and the slow realization that the best EV on paper may still irritate its owner every week. Mike, Randy, and Drew move through the category with a familiar rhythm: a joke, a tangent, a specific complaint, then a surprisingly detailed comparison. Tesla is a recurring center of gravity, especially around service quality, Model Y choices, FSD skepticism, software strengths, and the gap between brand loyalty and owner fatigue. Rivian appears as both an object of enthusiasm and scrutiny, from R2 and R3 anticipation to sound-system and feature decisions. Lucid Gravity, Hyundai and Kia EVs, Chevy Bolt news, Ford and Ram truck comparisons, Aptera updates, and the historic GM EV1 all get room when they connect to the larger question of what makes an EV livable. The hosts also keep returning to a practical divide: hardware can be excellent while software still feels unfinished. That point gives the show much of its shape. Hyundai and Kia may impress on range and charging, while Tesla still wins the simple act of route planning in the U.S. Lucid may build a compelling vehicle while leaving questions about infotainment investment. Rivian may feel advanced in software while making choices that frustrate owners elsewhere. The conversation is loose, sometimes chaotic, and plainly self-aware about burnout, scheduling gaps, and cross-podcast overlap. That looseness is part of the appeal. Listeners hear not only what the participants think, but how their views change after repairs, road trips, family use, and repeated exposure to the same brand problems. The show works best for people who already know the EV landscape and want candid reactions rather than neutral headlines. It is especially good at turning small details, like a trunk seat-release tab or a tire-service code, into a broader argument about how car companies treat their customers.

Made for: For EV owners, shoppers, and industry watchers who want candid brand comparisons, real service stories, and practical talk about software, charging, range, and daily usability.

What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its owner-level specificity: a Tesla tire appointment, an Aptera event reaction, or an EV1 restoration detail becomes a larger read on where the EV market is actually improving and where it still feels unfinished.

In their own words

Join Mike, Randy, and Drew as they dive into all kinds of news and ownership stories of Electric Vehicles!
