Tesla universal and standard Wall Connector EV charging stations see rare discount to new lows from $420

Coming to us directly from its official Amazon storefront, Tesla is offering a rare and significant price cut on its Wall Connector EV chargers, with the Universal model down at $550 shipped. Originally carrying a $620 price tag, it permanently fell to $580 back in May and has mainly been kept at that price, while some third-party retailers have offered it at $5 to $10 cheaper occasionally. Today though, you’re looking at the best rate we have tracked to date, as an additional $30 is shaved off the tag here, giving you a rarely occurring drop to a new all-time low price.

It’s not every day that we get this kind of deal on Tesla devices, especially its charging stations, and this Universal Wall Connector delivers a customizable output of up to 48A charging speeds for you to install at your home (or any other space you may frequent), either indoors or outdoors for a completed EV setup. When you install it and set it to its maximum amperage, you’ll be getting upward of 44 miles of travel for each hour that you keep it plugged in, and it utilizes a J1772 adapter to provide recharges to non-Tesla vehicles too. By connecting it to your local Wi-Fi network, you’ll ensure that it can keep itself updated with the latest firmware, which you can also manually control through the Tesla app.

If you’re a Tesla-only household and aren’t concerned with having universal compatibility, you’ll also find Tesla’s standard wall connector at $420, down from $450. Other than the missing J1772 adapter, you’ll be getting the same performance out of this charging station as its above counterpart.

Anker’s new SOLIX C300 90,000mAh portable power stations return to lowest prices for first time from $150

Anker is offering a second chance to score either of its new C300 90,000mAh Portable Power Stations at their lowest rates since launching, with the DC model at $149.99 shipped, and the AC model at $189.99 shipped, which is also matched at Amazon, after clipping the on-page $60 off coupon. Down from their $200 and $250 price tags, We’ve only seen these prices once before during the week-long early bird specials back at the tail-end of August. Since then we’ve seen a few discounts, mainly from Amazon, with the lowest price cut keeping $10 above these low prices. Today you can score them again at their all-time lowest prices while Anker’s ongoing early fall Prime Day sale continues through October 9.

Anker’s SOLIX C300 AC model delivers a 90,000mAh capacity to cover your on-the-go charging needs while also running smaller appliances with a 600W max power output. There are three included AC ports on this model, as opposed to its counterpart DC model that mainly focuses on USB needs, with three USB-C ports, a single USB-A port, and a 120W auxiliary/car port. Unlike the DC model, this one doesn’t offer dual-recharging capabilities but does reach similar speeds when plugged into a standard wall outlet, along with solar charging options. It’s a bit easier to carry thanks to the integrated handle on top, and includes a light bar above the display screen for nighttime support, especially great for when you’re in the dark at a campsite.

The SOLIX C300 DC model offers boosted self-recharging speeds with its two bidirectional 140W USB-C ports being used together to hit 280W. Sharing most of the other qualities with its above sibling, it offers a 120W auxiliary/car port, two USB-A ports, and four USB-C ports – two of which are 140W ports, one being a 100W port, and the last one hitting 15W. It also sports a pop-up LED light in place of the carrying handle with multiple brightness levels. If you’re instead still wanting something smaller, I recommend checking out the PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh predecessor that is currently sitting at $120.

JetCurrent Pro e-bike

Juiced JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike drops to $2,099

Juiced Bikes has dropped the price on its latest JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to $2,099 shipped. Down from its $2,799 price tag, we’ve mainly been seeing this model keep down around $2,299 regularly, with occasional sales taking costs lower for short periods. In August, we saw it $1,954 during a similar weekend sitewide sale, with a “blink-and-you-missed-it” short-term fall to the $1,889 low recently. You’re still looking at a solid $700 markdown that gives you a chance to climb aboard at the third-lowest price that we have tracked.

Juiced’s latest entry into the EV market, the JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike, arrives sporting the first of the brand’s folding frames to better help riders save space when not aboard the saddle. Alongside this new feature, it also happens to be the brand’s fastest model released, as the supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade motor (peaking at 2,000W), along with the 52V battery and five levels of pedal assistance, propel the bike up to 34 MPH top speeds and provide a longer 70-mile travel distance. To better support riders, its been given joint torque and cadence sensors to reduce lag time between the system’s pick up, with a throttle included for pure electric action too. There’s an active cruise control feature here to keep speeds under 20 MPH and conserve travel distance, or you can take the opposite approach with its race track mode that turns off its electronic limits to race around at its fastest settings.

Things don’t stop there either, as its been given a 1,050-lumen Shadowblaster headlight for increased visibility at night, as well as 4-inch fat tires with fenders over each, 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, turn signal functionality on both the front and rear sections, and a separate brake light too. In terms of add-on gear, there’s also the rear cargo rack, a folding mirror, an “automotive grade horn,” a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your phone – plus, it even has a security alarm with a wireless remote for your peace of mind.

EcoFlow flash sale saves you up to $1,800 on DELTA Pro and RIVER 2 Pro power station bundles from $599 lows

EcoFlow has launched the next of its 24-hour flash sales from its ongoing Early Prime Big Deal Days sale, with two power station bundles benefitting from up to $1,800 off discounts for the rest of the day. The biggest of savings is coming from the brand’s official Amazon storefront on its DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that comes with a 400W solar panel for $2,399 shipped, after clipping the on-page $1,600 coupon. Normally this package would cost you $4,199, but you’re looking at a combined 43% markdown while the flash sale continues which ultimately saves you $1,800 and gives you the best rate we have tracked to date – beating out July’s previous low by $200.

One of EcoFlow’s larger backup power units on the market, the DELTA Pro station brings you a 3,600Wh capacity that can be further expanded up to 10kWh when paired with multiple dedicated smart extra batteries, or even more to its 25kWh max with additional extra batteries and power stations all linked together. It provides up to 3,600W of steady power output that can grow to 7,200W while surging, with plenty of output ports to ensure devices and appliances remain running – five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port. Recharging is fairly quick too, as the station can regain its entire capacity in 1.8 hours connected to a wall outlet, or you can use up to 1,600W of solar input to get a full battery in 2.8 hours.

The second bundle in the sale is on the RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station that comes with a 160W solar panel for a return $599 low, down from $1,048. This smaller model sports a 768Wh capacity and a power output of 1,600W thanks to its X-boost tech that allows it to “run 80% of home appliances.” Last minute trips won’t be such a worry with this unit as a wall outlet can fully recharge its battery in just 70 minutes, with additional charging options through solar (220W max), USB-C, or the car port. There’s also the four AC ports, three USB-A ports, and only one of the USB-C ports to connect your devices and appliances to.

Don’t miss out on all the great discounts that EcoFlow’s Prime Deal Days sale is offering until October 7, which you can look through in full here on this landing page.

Hiboy

Hiboy’s EX6 step-thru fat-tire e-bike carries you for up to 70 miles at return $800 low

Best Buy is offering the Hiboy EX6 Step-Thru Fat-Tire e-bike for $799.99 shipped. Normally priced at $1,580 most days, this is the first discount we’ve seen on this model come from Best Buy, after the retailer recently added a whole new array of EV brands to its marketplace in the last few weeks. We’ve only seen this same price show up twice in 2024, first in March over at Amazon, with Hiboy directly lowering costs back in mid-July. Today, you can add this affordable commuter to your garage at a 49% markdown that gives you $780 in savings and lands it at the return all-time lowest price we have tracked – even beating out Hiboy’s current sale that has it discounted to $900.

Whether you’re new to the world of e-bikes or an experienced rider, Hiboy’s EX6 Step-Thru e-bike arrives stocked and ready to support you from where you are to where you need to be – all at a significantly affordable rate too. It’s been given a 500W brushless geared motor and a removable 48V waterproof battery that hits top speeds of 25 MPH while travelling for up to 75 miles (depending on your selected riding mode).

There are three here to balance out needs, with a pedal assist mode for the best mileage benefits, a pure electric mode that does all the work for you, but does cut its travel distance to 41 miles, and a bicycle mode for when you want to get some cardio in. It’s been designed to be ergonomically comfortable for you throughout your entire journey, with additional features that include dual disc brakes, a bright headlight, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, 20-inch all-terrain fat tires with fenders over each, a hydraulic suspension fork, a rear cargo rack, and an LCD display.

goal zero

Goal Zero’s 78L Alta 80 dual-zone portable electric fridge/freezer drops to new $700 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering its Alta 80 Portable Fridge and Freezer for $699.97 shipped, after clipping the on-page 30% off coupon. It has spent most of 2024 sitting at its full $1,000 price tag, with only a few amount of discounts taking costs down lower, primarily to $800, while we did spot one fall to $750 during Memorial Day sales. We haven’t seen the price budge for the last three months, but today that trend is being upset by this $300 markdown that takes it further than ever before to carve out a new all-time low price.

While many might consider summer the camping season, there are plenty of folks prepping and gearing up to enjoy nature during the autumn season, and this portable fridge and freezer is a great addition for folks who are taking along a Goal Zero power station for any situation – even for worksite jobs too. Unlike its smaller Alta 50 counterpart, which can switch between refrigerating and freezing your perishables, this larger model sports dual zones to keep both functions running simultaneously. Its massive 78L capacity outsizes most competitor models on the market and holds up to 130 12-ounce cans at once, making it an ideal addition to larger family travel plans. It doesn’t have its own battery, but it does have a cable to connect your Yeti power station for power, and depending on which model you’re connecting, you’ll be able to get up to 12+ days of runtime.

Tesla pushing suppliers to cut all China-made parts for US cars

Tesla pushing suppliers to cut all China-made parts for US cars


Tesla is reportedly telling its suppliers to remove all China-made components from parts bound for its US-based factories, a significant acceleration of its effort to decouple its US supply chain from China.

The move, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, is a fresh example of the fallout from the deepening trade and geopolitical tensions between the US and China.

According to the report, Tesla decided earlier this year to stop using China-based suppliers for cars made in the US. While the company has already replaced some components, it’s now aiming to switch all remaining parts to non-Chinese sources within the next one to two years.

This strategy isn’t entirely new. We’ve been reporting on Tesla’s efforts to diversify its supply chain since the pandemic exposed the fragility of relying on a single region. The company has been actively encouraging its Chinese suppliers to set up shop elsewhere, particularly in Mexico, to support its North American production.

However, this new push is reportedly more aggressive. The WSJ’s sources say the strategy accelerated significantly after President Trump imposed stiff new tariffs on Chinese imports, adding to the “uncertainty” that has made it difficult for Tesla to manage costs and formulate a coherent pricing strategy.

Recent disruptions, such as a spat between China and the Netherlands over automotive chips from Nexperia, have only heightened Tesla’s urgency to build a more stable, independent supply chain.

This move solidifies a strategy Tesla has been forced into: running two entirely separate supply chains.

Giga Shanghai, which produces cars for China, Europe, and most of Asia, relies heavily on a localized network of over 400 Chinese suppliers. This has been a massive success, cutting costs and enabling huge production scale.

But those cars and parts don’t go to the US. Tesla’s US factories in Fremont and Texas, which serve its biggest market, are now being firewalled from that Chinese supply base – resulting in a lack of synergy between its supply chain and its factories.

This is the latest example of the “decoupling” between the world’s two largest economies, forcing global companies to effectively pick a side for any given market.

Electrek’s Take

This will be incredibly difficult. China dominates the production of many auto parts, materials, and, most importantly, batteries. More specifically, lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Tesla was using these cheaper, Chinese-made LFP cells in its standard-range US-market vehicles until last year.

Tesla stopped this practice after the cells became ineligible for US EV tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and were also hit by tariffs, but LFP cells are still Tesla’s biggest import from China for its energy storage products.

This new report confirms Tesla is all-in on building a non-China alternative. As CFO Vaibhav Taneja said in April, the company is “securing additional supply chain from non-China-based suppliers,” though he admitted, “it will take time.”

Tesla is already working on its own LFP battery production in the US, with a facility in Nevada (reportedly for its energy-storage products first) expected to come online in 2026.

But it will be a relatively low-volume plant that will help, but it won’t satisfy Tesla’s whole demand for LFP cells.

Self-driving leap: new ProZision autonomous riding mower from Honda

Self-driving leap: new ProZision autonomous riding mower from Honda

Honda launches ProZision lineup of electric ZTR lawnmowers

Honda is eager to prove itself as a self-driving leader with the launch of the all-new, all-electric, ProZision zero-turn riding mower that can run under human control or computer guidance for quieter, cleaner commercial groundskeeping operations.

First seen as a concept back in 2023, the production version of Honda’s autonomous groundskeeping vision is powered by 5 48V electric brushless motors (3 deck motors spinning up Honda’s MicroCut twin blades under its 60″ mulching deck and 2 drive motors, one for each rear wheel), the new ProZision Autonomous ZTR mower is built for the rigors of commercial landscaping, with power to spare and 19.2 kWh of battery capacity to offer pristine cut quality across 15 acres – more than enough for a full day of work.

The Honda mower’s battery can be fully charged overnight (or, in approx. 6 hours) on a 240V “Level 2” connection, or in ~16 hours on a standard 110/120.

Those would be impressive stats on their own, but what sets this latest battery-powered lawnmower apart from its commercial competition is its easy, production-ready autonomy. Honda explains the ProZision programming process:

Advertisement – scroll for more content

  1. Activate teaching mode for the ProZision Autonomous, using the Honda web application on a tablet or smartphone.
  2. Mow the property exactly as you normally would. Using satellite tracking and Honda software, the ProZision Autonomous tracks the exact route used to cut the property.
  3. When the route is completed, save it to the cloud.
  4. Automatic route optimization recalculates for better turns and coverage, providing consistent and stable grass-cutting quality on the first pass.
  5. Once you are ready to mow using autonomous functionality, put the ProZision Autonomous in Playback mode. It will replicate the prebuilt mowing route, within 3 centimeters accuracy of the programmed mowing pattern.

    The autonomous Honda mower is set to hit dealers in early 2026, with first deliveries timed perfectly for spring. And that timing matters, because the current Trump Administration has spent the past year empowering one of the most notoriously racist and abusive Federal enforcement bureaucracies in modern history to treat immigrant labor (traditionally the largest demographic in the landscaping and groundskeeping spaces) like a threat to national security instead of the backbone of the US economy.

    In that context, automation stops looking futuristic and starts looking like a basic necessity if these companies intend to keep operating with a fraction of last year’s labor force.

    Mark Kohls, VP of Honda Powersports and Products and a seasoned, media-trained professional, has a more nuanced take. “Honda is unveiling the ProZision and ProZision Autonomous battery-powered ZTR lawn mowers as the industry navigates uncertainty in workforce stability, equipment investment returns, and operational cost controls—across short- and long-term horizons,” he said, in a statement. “Honda ProZision lawn mowers provide zero-emission options that complement gasoline-powered fleets to reduce operating costs and enhance sustainability in landscape maintenance.”

    The lawns must be cut and rent is still due on the first, in other words.

    Production of the new Honda ProZision ZTR autonomous electric lawn mowers will take place at the company’s manufacturing facility in Swepsonville, North Carolina, and use globally made parts.

Peter Thiel slashes Tesla (TSLA) stake as Elon Musk warns shorts

Peter Thiel slashes Tesla (TSLA) stake as Elon Musk warns shorts

Tesla (TSLA)

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel’s fund, Thiel Macro LLC, has significantly cut its position in Tesla (TSLA), according to a new Q3 2025 13F filing.

Thiel, who is close to Musk, is retreating from his Tesla investment at a time when the CEO told shareholders to “hold on” to their stocks and warned TSLA shorts.

The filing, which covers the period ending September 30, shows the fund sold 207,613 TSLA shares during the quarter.

This reduces its stake by over 76%, from 272,613 shares at the end of Q2 to just 65,000 shares remaining.

Thiel famously co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk and is still close to Tesla’s CEO. They have both recently referenced having conversations, and they collaborated in their support of President Trump in last year’s US elections, as well as during the transition.

Interestingly, Thiel appears to be ignoring his friend’s advice in divesting from Tesla. As Tesla shareholders voted to give Musk the biggest CEO compensation package ever, Musk told them to “hold on to their stocks.”

Just this past weekend, Musk issued a specific warning to those betting against Tesla’s stock, and specifically Bill Gates, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), regarding Gates’ long-held short position against Tesla. Responding to news that the Gates Foundation was selling Microsoft stock, Musk posted:

“If Gates hasn’t fully closed out the crazy short position he has held against Tesla for ~8 years, he had better do so soon.”

The sale of Tesla stocks wasn’t the most significant move in Thiel’s latest filing.

The fund’s most significant move was exiting its entire stake in Nvidia (NVDA), selling over 537,000 shares, a position that had been its largest. Thiel Macro also completely sold off its holdings in Vistra Energy.

This appears to be a major consolidation and a pivot away from high-growth momentum stocks. In their place, the fund added new, more traditional “Big Tech” positions, namely in Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT).

The aggressive sales shrank the fund’s total reported US equity value from $212 million down to just $74.4 million.

Electrek’s Take

To be fair, Thiel’s overall rebalancing appears to stem more from broader market fear than from anything specific about Tesla.

However, it does highlight that Tesla’s volatile stock is risky amid a potential market pullback.

It currently trades at a 275 price-to-earnings ratio, which is expected to keep rising this quarter, even if the stock continues to drop from its recent high, as earnings are expected to decline further in Q4.

Now, this is not financial advice, but I think it’s worth noting that even though Tesla’s stock hasn’t been linked to its fundamentals in a while, its most significant stock price growth occurred during its period of earnings growth.

These days, it’s hard to imagine Tesla going back to earnings growth any time soon.
