I know relentless works on turn one with a drop pod, but are you able to assault out of the drop pod?

No, because you have disembarked from a deepstriking vehicle.

Relentless allows you to fire a heavy weapon etc after moving, and then still be able to assault, but it does NOT raise the deepstrike restriction on assaulting.

well, the reason you can't assault after disembarking from a Deep Striking vehicle is because they count as moving at Cruising Speed.

the Drop Pod rules also forbid you from assaulting.

GT - that isnt the reason, at all. The DS rules specifically state you count as DS yourself if you disembark from a vehicle that has DS that turn.

For example a DS Duke Sliscus Raider STILL prevents you from Assaulting, even though the Raider is open topped, because the contents are also a deepstriking unit

Thank you, that is what I thought
