Summary

Will just traded in the ol' Chevy Bolt for a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5, so it's time to run down all the pros and cons of this newer and more robust electric vehicle, and also check in on everything that's changed in the world of EVs in the three (!!) years since we did our Bolt episode. Listen on for our thoughts on everything from plug standards to the rapidly expanding charger network, how many driver assists are too many, the seemingly endless absurdities in automotive UX, and a bunch of other stuff.

0:00.0	Brad, I've done it again.
0:01.4	What have you done again?
0:02.7	I clickered.
0:03.9	You clickered?
0:05.1	I clickered.
0:06.1	That sounds either gross or offensive or both maybe or maybe sublime.

0:17.5	It lives on the bottom 30th year screen.
0:19.1	Oh.
0:19.6	And it's like a farming clicker. And it's just there all the time. And it makes little
0:24.4	happy noises. And like you, you plant vegetables. And that was bad. But, but that was fast. That was like
0:30.8	a weekend. Right. Any game designed to be played that passively that it only needs a third of your screen. Sounds pretty dangerous to me.
0:37.5	Look, it was, it's, it's, it's a good one of those. Oh, wow. Yeah. Is this a fake desktop they
0:45.6	are showing in these screenshots? Or is that like a desktop ask desktop. That's on actual Windows.
0:49.9	Oh my God. This is the most devious thing I think I've ever seen. It's, it's brilliant and evil and very good.
0:56.0	But don't, but like, look, it's in, I'm pretty reasonably sure it's a small indie game made
1:01.1	by like two people.
1:01.9	So you should buy it if you like that kind of game, but also don't.
1:05.5	But then, then when I was looking at that, the reason somebody recommended that to me because I was like, oh, I tried out this other clicker.
