For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Are Hybrids Finally Mainstream? Road Rules, Find The Plug & Hyundai's All-In On Hybrids 54:48

It seems like America is finally ready to see a hybrid revolution with more models offered than ever before, and more models going hybrid only. From an all-hybrid Mazda CX-90, to more hybrid Toyota and Hondas than you can shake a stick at, so GM's plans on resurrecting hybrid systems, hybrids seem to be reclaiming the headlines from EVs. Alex and Travis also talk about the road rules and rule breakers that bug them the most, jaywalking, and of course the recently refreshed Tucson hybrid and why you might want one.…

Subaru's New Hybrids, The LX 700h Is Insane, Honda & Nissan Break Up, Car Buying Tips 1:10:09

9 weeks temu1:10:09

1:10:09

Subaru is suddenly all-in on hybrids with a new Forester hybrid and a Crosstrek hybrid on sale in 2025, but they aren't stopping there. All rumors point to the upcoming redesign of the Outback also sporting a hybrid whenever it lands this year. Fuel economy improvements are more modest than in some hybrids, but Subaru retained the off-road capability the brand has become known for. VW's ID. Buzz might just be the ultimate electric family hauler, as long as you're OK with teh range which isn't huge. With Lexus the news is big, as in LX-sized big. For 2025 the LX 700h launches, which is the hybrid version of the LX 600 we've seen for a while. The main feature here is that Lexus has built in a failsafe mechanism to bypass the hybrid motor should anything go wrong. Nissan and Honda's relationship is on the rocks. That lasted about as long as Elon's average relationship.…

Join Travis and Alex as they dissect the RFID key card. Is Travis right that it's a sensible and slim way to lock and unlock your car if you're a 21st century person that doesn't carry a key? Or is Alex right that they should all be burnt at the stake as an example to RFID cards everywhere that change is unacceptable? (Also: proximity keys are better). They also discuss charging etiquette and why badge engineering is a tricky subject.…

Travis and Alex attempt to get to the bottom of the mania around "software defined cars". Now, bear in mind that like *all* cars, SDCs are actually defined by their hardware which is why they can be updated. On the other hand, is this making companies lazy? Our experience with the new EX30 leads Alex to say yes. We also go over viewer questions and comments, the best cars under $40K, the best SUVs for young families and more.…

If you're looking to make shopping easier, Hyundai is now selling cars on Amazon, assuming you're in the right part of the USA, and the process looks pretty solid. Lastly, Alex and Travis cover used EV tax credits, toxic masculine latte orders, and more!…

Toyota has had some stumbles lately. From recalling every Lexus LX, and non-hybrid Tundra for engine replacements, to the stop-sale and recall on every Grand Highlander and Lexus TX for airbags that aren't working right they have a great deal on their plate. However, like a juggling act at a carnival, Toyota seems to have all those plates up in the air and spinning for now. Interest in their products is still high and Toyota is tripling down on hybrid tech with their Mazda and Subaru partnerships.…

The Tesla Scandal That Isn’t What You Think It Is 23:39

When I said our Model 3 SR+ had a real world range of 192 miles +/- about 10 miles, y'all lost your minds, but it wasn't a scandal then and it isn't now. Instead it's just a textbook example of why the "EPA range" is not a "real world" number. Newsflash: the EPA testing designed in 1978 isn't a great real world example for ANY new car, truck or SUV in America today. Join me as I pick apart the scandal and talk about how fuel economy works. What it's good for and why you should ignore that range number if you're not willing to look deep enough to know what it is really telling you.…
