Save $350 on Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike at new $1,249 low in flash sale
Rad Power Bikes has launched a flash sale that is taking up to $350 off two e-bike models through March 20. The biggest discount is on the company’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,249 shipped. Fetching $1,599 since Rad Power lowered prices across their entire e-bike lineup, we saw plenty of short-lived flash sales and bigger holiday discounts alike on this particular model. Before the new year, this e-bike was priced at $1,649, often being brought down in cost somewhere between $1,599 and a former $1,299 low. Today’s deal comes in as a 22% markdown off the going rate, beating out our previous mention by $50 to mark a new all-time low.
The RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike comes equipped with a 750W brushless geared hub motor and a 672Wh battery that tops out at 20 MPH and can travel up to 45+ miles on a single charge, depending on conditions. It features four levels of low-profile cadence sensing pedal assist, as well as a water-resistant wiring harness, a standard LED headlight, an integrated taillight with a brake light indicator functionality, an integrated rear storage rack, fenders for both tires, and a simple LED display that provides pedal assist controls and battery charge levels. Its main claim to fame amongst Rad Power’s e-bikes is its space-saving folding frame, with the mechanism located at its center for fast and easy storage or transport when it’s not in use.
The second e-bike included in this flash sale is the RadRover 6 Plus Fat-Tire e-bike for $1,399, down from $1,599. It comes as either a high-step or step-thru model, with both receiving the same discount. Equipped with a 750W brushless-geared hub motor and a semi-integrated 672Wh battery, it can reach top speeds of 20 MPH and travels with a range of up to 45 miles on a single charge. It features 5 levels of pedal assistance with a 12-magnet cadence sensor, full digital display, a pair of 26-inch by 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires, water-resistant connectors and a wiring harness, and a frame that has been designed for maximum ergonomic comfort and solid handling – especially for riders at the bottom end of the height recommendation range.
WORX TURBINE Electric Leaf Blowers start from $55
Best Buy is offering the WORX TURBINE 600 CFM Electric Leaf Blower for $55 shipped through the rest of the day. Down from its usual $80 price tag, it saw its fair share of discounts over 2023, with the biggest being a drop to $55 in July – beaten out by the first discount of 2024 where it dropped to $50. Today’s deal comes in as a 31% markdown off the going rate and lands at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $5 above the all-time low from January.
This leaf blower provides 600 CFM of power, reaching up to 110 MPH of sweeping force in order to blow through heavy debris. It has two speed modes depending on what surface you’re clearing: speed one covers pavements and tight corners with a slower CFM, and speed two ramps it to its max output for open spaces/lawns. This is a plug-in model, so you will have to worry about cord and extension cord lengths over battery runtime, but it does come with a 11.5-foot cable that attaches to the tool with a retainer to keep the cord plugged in, even when the line is snagged or tugged.
For a battery-powered model, Best Buy also has the WORX 20V TURBINE 360 CFM Cordless Electric Leaf Blower for $149, down from $180. This model provides a lower 360 CFM (75 MPH) and sports a variable speed control that can also maintain lower CFMs for specific needs and easier control. It weighs only 5.3-pounds with a control grip that absorbs vibrations making it hassle-free to operate with only one hand.
iHeat 120V 3.2kW Tankless Under-Sink Electric Water Heater back at $167
Amazon is offering the iHeat 120V 3.2KW Tankless Electric Water Heater for $167.20 shipped. Down from a $209 price tag, it only saw a few discounts over 2023, with the biggest of them dropping costs to $172 at the start of the year. Today’s deal comes in as a 20% markdown off the going rate, matching our previous mention and landing at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $10 above the all-time low from 2019. This S-series under-sink water heater from iHeat Tankless will save you valuable space with its compact design, which makes it small enough to fit under counter installations or even tight closets. Manufactured in complete stainless steel, this water heater boasts an IXP4 waterproof construction with a waterproof interactive pad, and can be used in highly sterile applications such as commercial kitchens, hospitals, clinics, and schools. With its installation into your home or business, iHeat Tankless water heaters promise to save you “up to 60% on your water heating costs.”
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.
Jackery launches Explorer 600 v2 640Wh LFP power station and a solar bundle starting from $380
Jackery has launched the next of its second-generation remodels, with the Explorer 600 v2 Portable Power Station at $379.99 shipped. This all-new unit will carry a full price of $500 once these initial savings die down, with no sign of its availability on Amazon yet. The deal here gives you a 24% markdown off its full rate, cutting $120 off the tag and setting the bar for future discounts in coming months. Alongside the solo station option, you can also pick up the station with a 100W portable solar panel for $579.99 shipped, down from $699.
As we’ve been seeing with other models under Jackery’s flag, this new Explorer 600 v2 station comes as an upgraded descendant of the Explorer 600 Plus, with a slightly bigger 640Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity within a compact unit that is perfect for carrying with you on short-term trips away from home. You’ll get up to 500W of steady power (1,000W surging peak) through the six output ports to cover devices: two ACs, two USB-Cs, one USB-A, and a cigarette lighter port. While its predecessor is rated for 4,000 charging cycles, this new revamped model brings a higher 6,000-cycle lifespan alongside a 5-year warranty, so you’ll definitely be getting your money’s worth.

You’ve got three primary means to recharge the Jackery Explorer 600 v2’s battery. The first, of course, is with a standard AC outlet that will have it back to full in an hour’s time, or you can utilize up to its max 200W solar input for solar charging – which the bundled 100W panel can have back to full in 6.5 hours. Lastly, you can get on-the-go charging plugging it into your car’s auxiliary cigarette lighter port, which takes a little over six hours to put back to 100% from empty.

The Recon EV will be revealed in full soon. Jeep’s CEO shut down rumors that the Wrangler-sized electric off-roader was dead, saying the Recon EV will go on sale shortly.
Jeep’s electric off-roader will go on sale in Spring 2026
Although the Recon was initially set to debut in 2023 with sales starting the following year, don’t count it out just yet.
Bob Broderdorf, who took over the reins as Jeep’s new CEO in February, says rumors that the electric off-roader has been cancelled are far from true.
In fact, Jeep plans to sell it, even if you don’t want it. According to MotorTrend, Broderdorf is promising more details on the Recon EV are coming soon with sales kicking off next spring.

With Stellantis shaking up electrification plans, speculation began to spread that the Jeep Recon EV would be next to get the axe. Luckily, it doesn’t look like that will be the case.
Jeep first unveiled the Recon EV as a concept in 2022, promising the electric off-roader would be not only be able to tackle the Rubicon trail with enough charge to get back to town and recharge. It’s not a replacement, but the Recon is “inspired by the legendary Wrangler,” according to Jeep.

The Recon will be Jeep’s first true off-road EV. Leading up to its official debut, we’ve seen the electric off-roader out in the wild a few times now.
Spy shots of the interior surfaced on JeepReconForum last year, confirming the SUV will feature Jeep’s signature Selec-Terrain traction control system with different modes like “Rock” and “Mud.” The closer it gets to its final form, the more the Recon looks like a Ford Bronco rather than the Wrangler.
Even if it doesn’t sell well, Jeep considers the all-electric Recon as a key model as it looks to corner the off-road market.
Stellantis will build the Recon at its Toluca, Mexico plant alongside the Wagoneer S, Jeep’s first electric SUV in North America. The Jeep Cherokee and Compass are also built at the facility, all of which share the same STLA Large platform.

“We can shift and move. It is OK if [Recon] is low volume,” Broderdorf said, adding “If I have to sell more Cherokees, so be it.”
Although Jeep has yet to reveal final specs and prices, the Recon EV is expected to debut with about 350 miles of range. Prices are expected to start at around $60,000, or slightly less than the Wagoneer S. More premium trims, like the MOAB and Rubicon could cost closer to $80,000.
Broderdorf promised more details are coming soon. He also said the company plans to reveal more info on the future Wrangler shortly. Will we see an electric Wrangler? If so, it likely won’t be until the next generation in 2028.
Until then, Jeep will use the Recon EV and Wrangler as a twin threat as it looks to gain control of the off-road market.
Jeep’s CEO sees a market for electric vehicles, in particular the Recon. “We’ve got a great car. We’ve already built it. We should sell it, we should learn. I don’t know how many it will be. I’m not really that worried about it,” Broderdorf said. Even with the $7,500 federal tax credit now expired, Jeep expects EVs to sell in markets like California.

Tesla (TSLA) will release its Q3 2025 financial results on Wednesday, October 22, after the market closes. As usual, a conference call and Q&A with Tesla’s management are scheduled after the results.
Here, we’ll look at what the street and retail investors expect for the quarterly results.
Tesla Q3 2025 deliveries and energy deployment
Even though CEO Elon Musk and his loyal shareholders like to claim that Tesla is now an AI/Robotics company, the reality is that Tesla mostly moves metals.
The company’s automotive business continues to drive the vast majority of its financial performance.

Tesla’s revenue remains tied mainly to the number of vehicles it delivers.
Earlier this month, Tesla disclosed its Q3 2025 vehicle production and deliveries:
Production
Deliveries
Subject to operating lease accounting
Model 3/Y
435,826
481,166
2%
Other Models
11,624
15,933
7%
Total
447,450
497,099
2%
That’s a record number of vehicles delivered.
Furthermore, Tesla confirmed that it deployed 12.5 GWh of energy storage capacity during the quarter.
Those two record numbers combined should result in Tesla reporting higher revenues.
Tesla Q3 2025 revenue
For revenue, analysts generally have a pretty good idea of what to expect, thanks to the delivery numbers and now the energy storage deployment data.
The Wall Street consensus for this quarter is $26.457 billion, and Estimize, the financial estimate crowdsourcing website, predicts a lower revenue of $26.266 billion.
Here are the predictions for Tesla’s revenue over the past two years, with Estimize predictions in blue, Wall Street consensus in gray, and actual results are in green:
If Tesla meets or beats expectations, it would report higher quarter revenue than ever before.
Tesla Q3 2025 earnings
Analysts are trying to estimate Tesla’s gross margin with a first positive reversal in deliveries this year.
For Q3 2025, the Wall Street consensus is a gain of $0.55 per share and Estimize’s crowdsourced prediction is a little higher at $0.57.
Here are the earnings per share over the last two years, where Estimize predictions are in blue, Wall Street consensus is in gray, and actual results are in green:
As you can see, Tesla’s estimated record revenue is not expected to translate into record earnings, as the company has reduced prices in response to increased competition.
Tesla reported earnings of $072 per share during the same period last year.
In short, analysts are expecting Tesla’s earnings downtrend to continue despite record revenues.
Other expectations for the TSLA shareholder’s letter, analyst call, and special ‘company update’
I think we should expect a very bullish management call in Q3. We have been reporting on this for a few months on Electrek, but Tesla pushed its shareholders meeting, which is generally held in the summer, to the first week of November for good reason.
Tesla knew that the end of the tax credit would result in demand being pulled forward into Q3, leading to a strong Q3. Even though it will mean a few very difficult quarters afterward, the company will take the time to boast about it just before shareholders vote on management through Musk’s compensation package and a few board seats in two weeks.
However, I would also expect Wall Street analysts to ask a few questions about how Tesla is expected to perform in the next few quarters, given the incentives and credits in the US.
Tesla will also take questions from retail shareholders based on the most popular ones on Say. Here are the top 5 questions and my thoughts on them:
What are the latest Robotaxi metrics (fleet size, cumulative miles, rides completed, intervention rates), and when will safety drivers be removed? What are the obstacles still preventing unsupervised FSD from being deployed to customer vehicles?
Musk has been wrong about self-driving timelines for a decade now, and he manages to get away with it thanks to a very lenient shareholder base that likes it when he pumps up the stock with hyperbole and crazy predictions.
However, the shorter the timeline, the harder it is to let this slide. Musk said that Tesla Robotaxi would cover half the US, and it would remove supervisors by the end of the year.
The only way this is possible is if “Robotaxi” is what Tesla launched in the Bay Area, meaning Tesla employees in the driver’s seat using FSD. If Tesla does remove the supervisor, I believe it will only be in Austin and with a lot of limitations and remote monitoring.
What is demand / backlog for Megapack, Powerwall, Solar, or energy storage systems? With the current AI boom, is Tesla planning to supply power to other hyperscalers?
I think people should expect Tesla’s growth in the energy sector to slow and stabilize at around 18 GWh next year, which is still impressive, by the way.
What are the plans for new car models? Will Tesla build compact car models leveraging the unboxed Cybercab platform? Will Tesla build a traditional SUV and pickup truck in the Cybertruck platform?
Generally, Tesla doesn’t answer those kind of questions during an earnings call, but I think management will try to pump the best they can ahead of the shareholders meeting.
Furthermore, after the flop that was the stripped-down Model Y and Model 3, I wouldn’t be shocked if Tesla revives plan for the compact car even though Musk poo-pooed it quite a bit over the last year.
What are the present challenges in bringing Optimus to market considering app control software, engineering hardware, training general mobility models, training task specific models, training voice models, implementing manufacturing, and establishing supply chains?
As we have been reporting for the last few months, the Optimus program is in shambles. I expect Musk to confirm delays in the production ramp. He previously said that Tesla would build about 5,000 Optimus robots in 2025. I think he will delay that, but he will reiterate some ridiculous long-term goals.
What is your projection for when FSD will allow for unsupervised driving?
He literally said by the end of the year a few months ago. He said that every year for the last 6 years. I don’t know why anyone cares to have his opinion on it at this point.
As you can see, most questions from retail investors concern Tesla’s future products and Elon’s predictions about their impact.
Meanwhile, earnings are declining because Tesla’s once-incredible core business of selling cars is rapidly deteriorating.
Tune in with Electrek after market close today to get all the latest news from Tesla’s earnings, conference call, and now also an apparent “company update.”
