Top gifts to buy for a Tesla owner this Christmas… at a hefty discount
If you want to surprise the Tesla owner in your life this holiday season with a gift they’ll love – or heck, treat yourself! – check out these beautiful accessories made by US and Canadian company Tesloid. The company’s founders are Tesla owners who design accessories and provide customer service they themselves want. Or, as they put it, “Teslas are premium cars and we deserve a premium experience to match that of the cars. So we took the matter into our own hands.”
Tesloid is offering Electrek readers a generous 25% discount off its irresistible accessories. Use the coupon code Electrek25 at checkout to get Tesloid’s biggest discount all year, and check out Tesloid’s top 5 gift ideas below.
Frunk luggage bags set for Model 3 and Model Y
These frunk bags for Tesla Model 3 or Y would make an awesome gift, and you get two bags to boot. (No pun intended, UK readers.) They’re super durable, so you can overstuff them for a weekend road trip or air travel alike, and they’ll still fit seamlessly into your frunk. They feature a laptop pocket, dual zippers, and a comfortable shoulder pad on the strap. To give an idea of what each bag would fit, it’s roomy enough to fit a MacBook Air, four shirts, shorts, a pair of jeans, big headphones, a toiletry bag, and a pair of men’s shoes.
Frunk cooler bag for Model 3 and Model Y
Give the gift of fun with this cooler bag, and Tesla drivers can ditch heavy, clunky coolers that waste valuable car space. The frunk cooler bag’s left side is thermally insulated for hot or cold food and drinks, and the right is a “pantry” side for everything else. There’s also a detachable icebag that has a waterproof base and water-resistant zippers. So you can grab a quick snack and a drink straight out of your frunk if you’re in a hurry, or hoist up the cooler bag by its handles and head to the park for a relaxing picnic. And imagine going to a tailgate party with this tidy setup!
Camping tent for Model Y
Give the gift of the great outdoors with Tesloid’s super versatile and convenient Tesla Model Y camping tent, which is custom tailored to fit the Model Y’s tail space. You can either set up a post around your Model Y, or after a day of exploring, simply dock the rear of your car right inside the tent.
The 100% waterproof tent features a 7-foot ceiling and nearly 50 square feet of indoor living place as well as 25 square feet of shaded porch. And that’s not even counting the sleeping area inside your Model Y – a bonus for folks who aren’t keen ground sleepers. (Tesloid makes a handy inflatable mattress that fits in the Model Y’s trunk.) The tent is user friendly: It comes in a compact carrying bag and springs open in less than 30 seconds, and you can fine-tune the setup in around 20 minutes.
Floor mats for Model 3, Model Y, and Model S
There are a lot of floor mats on the market for Teslas, but Tesloid’s offerings are a sure bet if you want quality, durability, and a precise fit. Model 3 and Model Y have two floor mat options: 3D extreme performance or 3D comfort performance. They cost the same, but here’s the difference: The extreme performance is made of tough TPE, and the comfort performance is made of durable material. If you’re hiking through mud or snow, or have toddlers, go with the extreme performance mats. For everyday wear and tear, comfort performance will suit your purpose. Model S drivers can opt for the extreme performance option only.
Other cool accessories
Tesloid also has a lot of other cool offerings for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X. The company makes a Model Y roof sunshade screen for $99.99 before the 25% discount that clips in easily. Tesloid’s Model 3 interior accessories include a console wrap for $49.99 before the discount in carbon fiber, matte black, white, and wood. And for Model X and Model S drivers, there are screen protectors and pedal covers.
You don’t want to miss this sale, as Tesloid won’t go this low again for quite a while. Plus, you’re assured of the best quality products, a smooth shipping process, and Tesloid even ships internationally – exactly what every holiday shopper needs. Remember to use the coupon code Electrek25 at checkout to get your 25% off. Happy holidays, fine Tesla people.

![Day 1 of the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix 2025 [Gallery]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/07/54629423281_6315c46dff_k.jpg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
Today was the official start of racing at the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix 2025! There was a tremendous energy (and heat) on the ground at NCM Motorsports Park as nearly a dozen teams took to the track. Currently, as of writing, Stanford is ranked #1 in the SOV (Single-Occupant Vehicle) class with 68 registered laps. However, the fastest lap so far belongs to UC Berkeley, which clocked a 4:45 on the 3.15-mile track. That’s an average speed of just under 40 mph on nothing but solar energy. Not bad!
In the MOV (Multi-Occupant Vehicle) class, Polytechnique Montréal is narrowly ahead of Appalachian State by just 4 laps. At last year’s formula sun race, Polytechnique Montréal took first place overall in this class, and the team hopes to repeat that success. It’s still too early for prediction though, and anything can happen between now and the final day of racing on Saturday.
Congrats to the teams that made it on track today. We look forward to seeing even more out there tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some shots from today via the event’s wonderful photographer Cora Kennedy.
Stay tuned for more!

The numbers are in and they are all bad for Tesla fans – the company sold just 5,000 Cybertruck models in Q4 of 2025, and built some 30% more “other” vehicles than it delivered. It just gets worse and worse, on today’s tension-building episode of Quick Charge!
We’ve also got day 1 coverage of the 2025 Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix, reports that the Tesla Optimus program is in chaos after its chief engineer jumps ship, and a look ahead at the fresh new Hyundai IONIQ 2 set to bow early next year, thanks to some battery specs from the Kia EV2.

Tesla has launched its new Oasis Supercharger, the long-promised EV charging station of the future, with a solar farm and off-grid batteries.
Early in the deployment of the Supercharger network, Tesla promised to add solar arrays and batteries to the Supercharger stations, and CEO Elon Musk even said that most stations would be able to operate off-grid.
While Tesla did add solar and batteries to a few stations, the vast majority of them don’t have their own power system or have only minimal solar canopies.
Back in 2016, I asked Musk about this, and he said that it would now happen as Tesla had the “pieces now in place” with Supercharger V3, Powerpack V2, and SolarCity:
All of these pieces have been in place for years, and Tesla has now discontinued the Powerpack in favor of the Megapack. The Supercharger network is also transitioning to V4 stations.
Yet, solar and battery deployment haven’t accelerated much in the decade since Musk made that comment, but it is finally happening.
Last year, Tesla announced a new project called ‘Oasis’, which consists of a new model Supercharger station with a solar farm and battery storage enabling off-grid operations in Lost Hills, California.
Tesla has now unveiled the project and turned on most of the Supercharger stalls:
The project consists of 168 chargers, with half of them currently operational, making it one of the largest Supercharger stations in the world. However, that’s not even the most notable aspect of it.
The station is equipped with 11 MW of ground-mounted solar panels and canopies, spanning 30 acres of land, and 10 Tesla Megapacks with a total energy storage capacity of 39 MWh.
It can be operated off-grid, which is the case right now, according to Tesla.
With off-grid operations, Tesla was about to bring 84 stalls online just in time for the Fourth of July travel weekend. The rest of the stalls and a lounge are going to open later this year.
Electrek’s Take
This is awesome. A bit late, but awesome. This is what charging stations should be like: fully powered by renewable energy.
Unfortunately, it will be much harder to open those stations in the future due to legislation that Trump and the Republican Party have just passed, which removes incentives for solar and energy storage, adds taxes on them, and removes incentives to build batteries – all things that have helped Tesla considerably over the last few years.
The US is likely going to have a few tough years for EV adoption and renewable energy deployment.
