Tesloid is offering Electrek readers a generous 25% off its Tesla accessories. After checking out the Tesla gift ideas below, use the coupon code BF25 at checkout to get Tesloid’s biggest discount all year.
Frunk luggage bags for Models 3, Y
This gorgeous set of two vegan leather bags is designed to fit seamlessly into the frunk of a Model 3 or Model Y, no matter how full they are. Each features a laptop pocket, dual zippers, and a shoulder pad, so whether you’re on a road trip or catching a flight, you can carry them comfortably upon arrival. This is the ideal weekend bag, or if you’re taking a longer trip and packing a suitcase, then it’s also a great carrier bag.
Each is roomy enough to fit a MacBook Air, four shirts, shorts, jeans, tech accessories, a toiletry bag, and shoes. And you can overstuff these bags because they’re robust.
Frunk cooler bag for Models 3, Y
Tesloid makes an elegant cooler food bag that fits the Model 3 and Model Y’s frunks like a glove. The frunk cooler bag’s left side is waterproof and thermally insulated for hot or cold food and drinks, and the right is a “pantry” side for everything else, such as snacks, utensils, and dinnerware.
This would make the coolest gift ever for Tesla drivers who love to tailgate, and it’s also perfect for road trippers and picnickers – just grab them and go. The two sides are detachable, and both have lift handles.
Model Y camping tent
If the Tesla Model Y driver in your life loves to camp, then there isn’t going to be a better gift for them than this camping tent, which is a bespoke tent for the Model Y’s tail space.
The fully waterproof tent features a 7-foot ceiling, nearly 50 square feet of indoor living space, and 25 square feet of shaded porch. And that doesn’t even count the sleeping area inside your Model Y, which is great for those who aren’t keen on ground sleeping. (Tesloid makes a comfy inflatable mattress that fits in the Model Y’s trunk.) The tent comes in a compact carrying bag and springs open in under a minute, and you can fine-tune the setup in around 20 minutes. Want to go on a day trip? You can leave the tent behind and seal it on the side that connects to the car.
Model Y camping tent – $449.99 before 25% discount
Model Y camping tent bundle with Mattress – $499.99 before 25% discount
Wheel Covers for Model 3, Model Y
Let’s say you drive a Model Y or Model 3, and you’re growing tired of the wheels you bought from Tesla – Tesloid has you covered. And at a much better price.
The wheel covers are made of ABS and can be installed in mere seconds. And not only are they going to look sharp, but you also get added rim protection due to the greater radius of the wheel covers.
Plus, the wheel covers give you better range efficiency compared to using no covers at all. So not only will your car look better, and have added protection against curb rash, you’ll also get more mileage out of every charge.
The new wheel covers also come with a storage bag to store away and protect your original wheel covers. And in terms of installation, the process couldn’t be easier.

Tesloid also makes other cool offerings for Model 3 and Model Y. There’s a Model Y roof sunshade screen for $99.99 before the 25% discount that comes with two detachable layers and clips in easily. Tesloid’s Model 3 interior accessories include a sliding center console organizer for $19.99 before the discount that makes use of unused space – you won’t have to put your glasses and keys in the cupholder anymore.

T1 Energy (NYSE: TE), formerly FREYR Battery, kicks off preparations for its new solar cell factory, set to be one of the largest in the US.
T1 Energy has chosen Yates Construction as the contractor for preconstruction services and site preparations for its planned $850 million, G2_Austin 5 GW Solar Cell Facility.
The G2_Austin site is in Milam County, Texas, in the Advanced Manufacturing and Logistix Campus at Sandow Lakes.
It’s expected to create up to 1,800 new direct US advanced manufacturing jobs. Construction is on track to kick off in mid-2025, and the facility is expected to begin producing cells by the end of 2026. There are currently far fewer solar cell manufacturing sites in the US than solar module factories, according to the SEIA.
On December 24, FREYR announced that it had closed its acquisition of China-headquartered Trina Solar’s 5-gigawatt (GW), 1.35 million-square-foot solar panel factory in Wilmer, Texas. The company renamed the factory G1_Dallas, which employs more than 1,000 people and is now fully online.
Daniel Barcelo, T1’s chairman of the board and CEO, said, “Our facilities will manufacture solar cells and modules to invigorate our economy with abundant energy. We’re excited to work with Yates and Milam County to bring American advanced manufacturing to the heart of Texas and to unlock our most scalable energy resources.”
T1 Energy says it anticipates finalizing commercial terms with Yates Construction as General Contractor.

![Kia's affordable EV2 may be small, but it looks bigger in person [Video]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/Kia-EV2-closer-look.jpeg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
The EV2 is set to arrive as Kia’s smallest and most affordable electric vehicle next year. With its official debut coming up, the electric SUV was spotted driving on public roads. The electric SUV may be small, but it looks bigger in person.
Kia’s new EV2 is an affordable, small electric SUV
Kia has yet to say precisely how big the EV2 will be, but it’s expected to be around 4,000 mm (157″), or slightly smaller than the EV3 at 4,300 mm (169.3″). That’s even more compact than the outgoing Chevy Bolt EV (163.2″).
During its EV Day event in April, Kia unveiled the Concept EV2, a preview of the entry-level EV that will sit below the EV3.
Although it’s the brand’s smallest EV, Kia promises that it will feel larger when you’re inside. The EV2 sits higher than you’d expect with a wide front end, giving it a bigger presence on the road, similar to the three-row EV9.
We got a sneak peek at Kia’s affordable EV last month after it was spotted testing on public roads in Korea, but the latest sighting gives us a closer look at the EV2 in its production form. The new video from HealerTV reveals a few details that could look a little different from the concept.
The footage shows what appears to be different daytime running lights (DRLs). When Kia unveiled the Concept EV2 in April, it featured a unique split vertical headlight design.
The EV2 spotted driving still has the split design, but both the inner and outer lights appear to be angled more inwards. It’s not a huge difference, but given most of Kia’s new EVs look almost identical to the concepts, this could be something to keep an eye on.
Prices, specs, and more
Despite being an entry-level model, the EV2 is still equipped with advanced technology and features, including vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, which allows it to power a campsite, home appliances, and other electronics. With OTA updates, it will only get smarter and more advanced over time.
The interior will feature Kia’s new ccNC (connected car Navigation Cockpit), which features dual 12.3″ driver cluster and touchscreen navigation screens in a panoramic display.
Like its other new EV models, it’s also expected to include a 5″ climate control display for nearly 30″ of screen space.
Kia plans to launch the EV2 next year in Europe and “other global regions.” For those in the US, sorry to disappoint, but it’s not expected to make the trip overseas. We do have the EV4, Kia’s first electric sedan, to look forward to.
We will learn prices and final specs closer to launch, but given it will sit below the EV3, it will likely be cheaper than that.
The EV3 starts at £32,995 ($44,800) in the UK and €35,990 ($41,600) in Europe. Kia’s CEO, Ho-Sung Song, told Autocar in 2023 that the company aims to launch the EV2 at around £25,000 ($32,000) in the UK. With new battery technology and other advancements, it could be even more affordable when it arrives next year.
Kia isn’t the only automaker gearing up to launch a new entry-level EV. Last week, we got a glimpse of the upcoming Volkswagen ID.2 after it was spotted in public testing.
Should Kia bring the EV2 to the US? Would you buy one for around $30,000 or even slightly less? Drop us a comment below and let us know.
