    Hyundai Ioniq 5 is finally eligible for the $7,500 tax credit.

    After Hyundai started making them in the USA, the popular EV became briefly eligible — but mysteriously lost eligibility weeks later, possibly over its batteries. Now, the Ioniq 5 is finally back on the list, until or unless Trump kills the credit entirely.

    If you’re sad about the Polygon layoffs, here’s a possible starting point.

You have to pay the tariffs, but Amazon claims it’ll collect a deposit on those -- it works out to $726.92 after tax for me in California. Amazon warns you may not have a warranty this way, though.

    Update, May 1st: Never mind, it’s now gone as of evening.

    Here’s my bigger story:

    Today I’m toying with the magnet mouse.

    The other day, I told you about the ESR MagMouse with its built-in magnets and charge cable, but my video wasn’t ready yet. Now it is! And because people have asked: this wallet-sized viewing card is what I’m using to see the magnetic fields. (Note: If you buy via that link, we might get affiliate revenue.) Should I do a video about it, too?
