For today’s Green Deals we have two new folding e-bike low prices, with Juiced’s 20% off sitewide sale dropping costs on its JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to $1,759, while Rad Power’s latest sale sees the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike hit $1,199. There’s a great opportunity on Rachio’s smart hose timer with a Wi-Fi hub, as well as its multi-zone sprinkler controllers, starting at some new low prices from $69. For folks who have been investing in an arsenal of EGO Power+ tools and devices, the brand’s Nexus Portable Power Station just fell to an $899 low, and we also have another one-day only sale on Greenworks’ popular 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit at $100. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s early fall Prime Day sale from Segway or the Lectric XPeak extra battery e-bike bundle, among others.

Juiced’s 20% off sitewide sale drops JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to new $1,759 low

Juiced has increased its sitewide savings to 20% off, which is giving folks an even better deal on its new JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike than we reported on a few days ago, now down at $1,759.20 shipped, after using the promo code SAVINGS at checkout. Priced at $2,799, and starting here today at $2,199, this combined 37% markdown not only beats the incredibly short-lived $1,889 former low that we saw the other day, but also gives you a total of $1,040 in savings – the largest amount taken off its usual rate that we have seen, marking a new all-time low price – but don’t wait to long to make a decision here, who knows how long Juiced will keep it going!

Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike boasts two new firsts for the popular brand – the folding frame that saves you far more storage/transport space and the ridiculous 34 MPH top speed. It achieves the latter thanks to the supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade motor (2,000W peak) that is powered by the 52V battery and comes supported by five levels of pedal assistance, which all together also provides a 70-mile travel range on a single charge. And the upgraded support doesn’t stop there, as it also sports joint torque and cadence sensors to reduce lag time between the system’s pick up too. Equipped with a throttle for pure electric action when you want it, there’s also an active cruise control feature that keeps speeds under 20 MPH to conserve the battery for longer travel times, or you can throw caution to the wind with its race track mode that cuts off any limits on the motor to reach its fastest settings.

The praises don’t stop there for Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro e-bike, as it comes stocked with 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. You’ll also get some gear which you can add onto the frame at your preference, with a 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.

You’ll find all the other e-bikes under the brand’s flag by following this link here to the landing page, with the 20% off discount not shown on models’ prices until you use the promo code SAVINGS at checkout.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike drops to new $1,199 low

Rad Power has launched an Orange Friday sale through October 16 that is taking up to $400 off three of its utility and/or folding e-bike models alongside a 25% discount on its vehicle racks. Pulling out ahead of the pack as the biggest deal is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,199 shipped. This model is normally priced at $1,599 outside of sales, with 2024 largely dropping costs down to $1,299, with a few others seeing things taken lower to the former $1,249 low. Today though, you’re looking at the best deal we’ve seen on it yet as it gets a $400 markdown and lands at a new all-time low. You can check out our hands-on review over at Electrek or head below to learn more.

Solving the problem of storage space, the RadExpand 5 e-bike has been designed with a folding frame to condense its size when you’re not on the saddle to fit inside closets, car trunks, RVs, and more. It arrives stocked with a 750W brushless geared rear-hub motor that is powered by the 672Wh battery, with this combination providing a max speed of 20 MPH while carrying riders up to 45+ miles after a single charge. It has four low-profile cadence-sensing pedal assist levels to help extend the bike’s travel range, or if you’re unconcerned with mileage, there’s a half-twist throttle too (the sole use of which will decrease its range).

There’s a bunch more added features here to enhance your riding experience, with a standard LED headlight alongside an integrated taillight that offers brake light functionality, both of which automatically activate when daylight drops low enough. It also comes with an integrated cargo rack that has a 55-pound limit, fenders over both wheels, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and a simple LED display.

  • Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Rack: $375 (Reg. $500)

Add Rachio’s smart hose timer and multi-zone sprinkler controllers to your setup at new low prices from $69

Amazon is offering a great new chance to optimize your sprinkler systems with the Rachio Smart Hose Timer with Wi-Fi Hub for $69 shipped. Normally fetching $100, we’ve mainly been seeing this package bobbing between $99 and $79 throughout 2024, with the former $75 low having only been seen once back in March. Today though, instead of returning to that rate, we’re getting an even better 31% markdown that drops costs to a new all-time low price.

This smart hose timer that comes along with the Wi-Fi hub will work in sync together in order to provide smart controls over your water supply as it flows from out of your spigot. Through the Rachio app on your smartphone, you can monitor flow rates, set schedules, and even have it send you alerts when things aren’t running properly. A neat bonus feature here is the timer using Wi-Fi to update itself on weather forecasts and skip scheduled watering times before or after expected rain, keeping your lawn from drowning while saving you some money too. You can also pair up to four of these timers to one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage.

That’s not the only new low price we’re seeing today for this system, as Amazon has also dropped the Rachio 3rd Gen Smart 4-Zone Sprinkler Controller to $85, down from $150. If you want to take your control over your water supply to its best levels, pairing this model with the above device is recommended. It also uses weather forecasts to skip scheduled watering periods, with functions like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, and more to save you money and save you from headaches of a dead lawn. It’s ready to be installed straight out of the box with no extra charges or subscription fees lurking around either.

If you have a much larger yard that the 4-zone can handle alone, there are other options, with the 8-zone sprinkler controller down from $230 to $177 right now, while its 16-zone counterpart is going for $217, down from $300. You can find a few bundle options on all these too, throwing in waterproof outdoor enclosures for added protection with the 8-zone controller for $209, while the 16-zone bundle here is down at $249. There’s also two more bundles worth considering of sprinkler controllers and the hose timer, with the 8-zone controller package for $246, or the 16-zone controller for $286.

nexus

Add the Nexus power station with two 7.5Ah batteries to your EGO Power+ setup for $899 low

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with two 7.5Ah batteries for $899 shipped. You’d normally find this heavy-duty combo for $1,099 most days, with 2024 having seen very few discounts on it and its counterparts, most of which only took costs down to $999 while July’s Prime Day sales saw it first fall to $899. You can score it here today as it returns to its all-time summer Prime Day low, saving you $200 off its usual going rate. You can also find the power station alone at $599, or its larger counterpart with four 5.0Ah batteries for $1,481.

This power station from EGO Power+ was designed as an alternative to gas generators, with a diverse range of uses for camping, tailgating, running large holiday displays/decorations, job site support, and more. The brand’s own 7.5Ah ARC batteries power the device, pumping out a continuous stream of power up to 2,000W (peaking at 3,000W) with three AC outlets and four USB ports to connect your devices and appliances.

For example, with just this combination, you can run a standard refrigerator for around three hours when the power goes out, with smaller models that you might use for tailgating lasting even longer. What’s nice about this for those who already own EGO Power+ tools and their respective batteries, is that you can keep switching them out with the included two for sustained power output or plug the station into a wall outlet to act as a multi-port battery charger too, making it a nice addition to homes/setups already investing in the brand.

greenworks

Greenworks’ 1,900 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit brings you more utility at $100 for today only

Offered through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy has dropped the price on the Greenworks 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit to $99.99 shipped for today only. Normally going for $220 most of the time, the best opportunities that we’ve seen for this particular package are during these one-day sales, which we last saw appear a few times in August. You’re looking at another chance to score it at one of its best discounted rates, giving you $120 in savings and giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked – only $10 above the all-time low from last year’s Christmas sales.

You won’t find this model directly from Greenworks anymore, with the company focusing on its counterpart with a wheeled frame over the utility that this model provides. You’ll get a far more portable device here while it delivers up to a 1,900 PSI that runs at a 1.2 GPM flow rate. Unlike some of its successors, this combo comes with a wider variety of attachment heads for the wand, giving you more versatility in the ways you can tackle and wash away the grime that’s been building up around the outside of your home (with onboard storage to keep them together and easy to find). The 20 feet of non-marring, high-pressure hose gives you more leeway when it comes to maneuverability, with a surface cleaner attachment for boosted power, and features the brand’s Total Stop System to have the pump automatically shut off when the trigger is not being engaged.

Fall e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

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.

Mercedes-Benz EVs to get Tesla Supercharger access in February

From February 2025, US Mercedes-Benz EV drivers will be able to charge their cars at over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers in the US and Canada.

Drivers based in Canada will gain access to the Tesla Supercharger network later in 2025.

Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships will provide a free software update for compatible vehicles to ensure smooth and easy Plug & Charge operation at Tesla Superchargers. Customers with vehicles in scope
will be contacted directly to schedule their software update.

The Mercedes me Charge service will integrate drivers into the Tesla Supercharger network, enabling easy Plug & Charge functionality when they charge at Superchargers. Mercedes me Charge also offers public charging at Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging, IONNA, Electrify America, EVGo, ChargePoint, and more.

Mercedes me Charge gives drivers charger locations, real-time charger availability, status, and pricing for all in-network charging points through both the Mercedes-Benz app and the MBUX infotainment system. Charging can also be initiated via the Mercedes-Benz app or the MBUX infotainment system.

Tesla Superchargers will be integrated into Mercedes-Benz’s “Navigation with Electric Intelligence”. This feature automatically navigates drivers to the most efficient, time-saving route, including transparent charging stops and charging times.

“The fast-growing network of charging points available in Mercedes me Charge will now expand to over 110,000 public charging points across the United States and Canada, providing Mercedes-Benz drivers with an industry-leading charging experience whenever and wherever they choose to charge,” said Franz Reiner, chairman of the board of management at Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG.

Mercedes says a North American Charging Standard NACS to CCS1 adapter for current CCS1-compatible EVs will be available at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships for purchase in the US for $185 in Q1 2025. Customers will be notified when adapters are available to purchase. They’ll be available from Canadian dealerships in Q2 2025, with pricing to be confirmed closer to market introduction.

The German automaker says it will introduce NACS ports in its EV lineup beginning in 2025.

Model Y Juniper refresh spied uncamouflaged for first time in winter testing

Model Y Juniper refresh spied uncamouflaged for first time in winter testing

Tesla’s Model Y “Juniper” refresh has been spotted for the first time undergoing winter testing in China, in anticipation of an imminent reveal.

The refreshed Model Y has been expected for some time, and is expected to include many of the improvements of the 2023 Model 3 refresh. The headline features of that vehicle are a new front-end, more efficiency, and a quieter cabin. But there were a lot of other interior improvements as well (and one big de-provement, the deletion of steering column stalks).

And we know that it’s coming soon, because there have been plenty of sightings and leaks lately, though all have been camouflaged to hide front and rear end design changes.

In October, Chinese social media said the refresh was about to enter trial production, and just days later we saw a photo of the refreshed Model Y outside the Shanghai factory. Then last month, we heard that mass production would start in Shanghai in January, so we can expect that very soon as well.

And while Tesla said in 2024 that there’s no Model Y refresh coming “this year”, 2024 is over now, and there have been plenty of recent indications that the refresh is imminent.

Well, now that time has apparently come, and photos were posted today of the vehicle undergoing uncamouflaged winter testing in Northeast China.

As expected, the refresh gets rid of the “duck lips” of the previous Model Y, just as Tesla did with the Model 3 refresh, and as camouflaged photos have suggested. The rear end also matches previous leaks we’ve seen, with a sleeker rear end and use of the “TESLA” text badging rather than the Tesla logo (which is also not present on the rear of the Model 3 refresh).

The front end is a more dramatic redesign than the Model 3, though, which gained a lower nose but still retained traditional headlights. The Model Y goes further with a Cybertruck-like light bar across the whole front end, rather than the distinct headlights of the Model 3.

Social media rumors also suggested that an official unveil is imminent, so we may find out more within days. Stay tuned.

What do you think of the look of the Model Y Juniper?

Tesla board members officially settle excessive compensation case for nearly $1 billion

Tesla board members officially settle excessive compensation case for nearly billion

A judge has officially approved a settlement in a case brought by Tesla shareholders against board members who will now have to return stock, cash, and give up on stock options worth a total of nearly $1 billion.

Let me start this article with a quote from Tesla CEO Elon Musk:

Tesla will never settle a case where we’re in the right, and never contest a case where we’re in the wrong.

Today, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick approved a settlement agreement between Tesla and all its board members from 2017 to 2020 and the Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit on behalf of Tesla shareholders over what the shareholders believed to be excessive compensation.

The agreement was first reported in July 2023, but it is only now being officially approved and we learn a few more details.

Shareholders believed that members of Tesla’s board were compensating themselves excessively with hundreds of millions of dollars between 2017 and 2020 when the average compensation of a board member of a S&P500 company is just north of $300,000.

Under the settlement, the board members agree to return to Tesla $277 million in cash, $459 million in stock options and to forgo $184 million worth of stock options awarded for 2021-2023.

That adds up to nearly $1 billion.

The board members include Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother, Brad Buss, Ira Ehrenpreis, Antonio Gracias, Stephen Jurvetson, all close friends of Elon Musk and people who have financial dealings with Musk outside of Tesla, Linda Johnson Rice, Kathleen Wilson-Thompson, Hiromichi Mizuno and Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle Corp and also a close friend of Musk.

As part of the settlement, Tesla or the board does not admit to any wrongdoing.

Musk didn’t take compensation as part of the board, but he is embroiled in a similar case over his own $55 billion CEO compensation package, which was rescinded by the same judge after she found that it wasn’t negotiated or presented to shareholders in good faith.

The board members who received this “excessive compensation” also happened to be the one who “negotiated” Musk’s CEO compensation package.

The case is heading to the Delaware Supreme Court, as reported earlier today.
