Score $400 off Velotric’s 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike with 65-mile range at $1,199 with bonus savings options

As part of its ongoing sitewide Halloween sale, Velotric is offering its 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Normally fetching $1,599, we regularly see it down at $1,299 during similar sales, with prices going their lowest to $1,099, which we last saw in March. Speaking of its lowest price – Velotric is offering an additional $200 in savings when you buy two of this model together, dropping costs to $1,099 each. If you’re only planning on buying one, you’re still looking at one of the best deals around as you’ll be getting a solid $400 markdown to the second-lowest price we have tracked. On top of all this, there’s also an on-page bundle option that gives you a rear rack, front basket, phone mount, and left mirror for $1,403, down from $1,903.

Velotric’s updated 2024 Discover 1 Plus e-bike arrives as an affordable and capable commuter solution with a 692Wh battery that powers the 500W motor (900W peak) for up to 65 miles of travel. There are five levels of pedal assistance to support the rider, or you can also use the throttle on its own for a reduced range of up to 58 miles. It reaches a standard speed of 20 MPH, but you can unlock its capabilities further up to 28 MPH (an increase from the previous build’s 25 MPH).

While the 2024 Discover 1 Plus doesn’t sport the higher power ratings, upgraded parts, and Apple Find My integration as the new Discover 2, it does still come with a nice collection of features at such a low price. There is the SHIMANO 7-speed derailleur, an integrated 60 lux LED headlight, a taillight with braking functionality, double hydraulic disc brakes, larger 26-inch puncture-resistant tires, an increased IPX7 waterproof rating, fenders above both tires, and a 3.5-inch LCD display. There’s a USB-A port on the display to charge your phone as you ride, and it even has a walk assist mode for when you are forced to stop your ride to get it up extreme inclines.

ALLPOWERS Halloween sale

ALLPOWERS sale takes $53 off its PB100 24,000mAh power bank solar bundle at a new $75 low

ALLPOWERS has launched its Halloween sale through November 1 which is taking up to 41% off its power stations and solar generator bundles. One notable inclusion in this sale that we don’t see often is the PB100 24,000mAh Power Bank bundled alongside a 21W solar panel for $75 shipped. Down from its usual $128 price tag, we haven’t seen many discounts on this model since it was released back in November 2023, let alone this particular bundle package that we can only find direct from ALLPOWERS. You’re looking at a 41% markdown here, cutting $53 off the price tag and giving you reliable backup power for your personal devices at the lowest price we have tracked. It even beats out its Amazon pricing for the power bank alone, which is sitting at $100, making this deal all the better.

With our personal devices becoming an integral part of our daily lives, whether it is for work, school, passion projects, and so on – it’s nice to know that you’re covered in terms of keeping everything running. You’ll certainly find a reliable companion in ALLPOWERS’ PB100 power bank, which delivers a 24,000mAh capacity and four output ports to choose from: one 100W USB-C, one 60W USB-C, and two 18W USB-As – with a 14-inch MacBook Pro getting a 50% battery in 30 minutes, for example. When using a 65W or higher charger, you can refill the unit’s battery in up to two hours or utilize the included panel for solar charging at its maximum input – even while on the go. Not only is it a compact device that fits right in the pocket of your bag, but it also doubles as a powerful LED light that can provide steady illumination or be used for emergencies with its flashing mode for S.O.S signals.

Worx lawn care and garden care equipment

Keep uniform yard lines with Worx’s 12A 7.5-inch electric lawn edger/trencher at new $90 2024 low

Amazon is offering the Worx 12A 7.5-inch Electric Lawn Edger & Trencher for $89.99 shipped until supplies run out (currently 80% left). Normally sitting at a $130 price tag, we’ve seen a handful of discounts over 2024, with many of them coming in the form of Best Buy one-day sales. We’ve seen things fall as low as $94 this year, with the last few months only seeing drops to $100. While we have seen the price go much lower in past years (the all-time low of which was in 2020 and hasn’t been seen since), today you’re looking at the new lowest price for 2024 that saves you $40 off the going rate.

Sporting a corded plug-in, meaning no battery timeframes to adhere to, this edger/trencher from Worx comes with a 12A motor that gets the 7.5-inch blade spinning up to 4,700 RPMS so you can enjoy professional-grade lines around the edges of your property and flower beds. There are three adjustable depths – 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, or 1-1/2 inch – and it also features a cutting line indicator to keep everything in tight formation, giving your lawn a uniform look. Designed with an adjustable shaft, users will be able to find better comfort and the length that fits them more easily, regardless of height differences in the family.

For a battery-powered model that won’t have you worried about tangling cords as you’re trying to work, Amazon has the popular Worx GT Revolution 20V 12-inch String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower going for $107. This three-in-one tool maxes out at 7,600 RPMs and gives you everything you’ll need to clean up, straighten up, and highlight your yard’s beauty. It has seven handle adjustment options for added comfort while the six rotating head settings offer added flexibility.

More great Worx tool discounts:

Goal Zero Yeti 1000X

Get the 983Wh Goal Zero Yeti 1000X power station at $411 off for a new $489 low

The official Goal Zero Amazon storefront is offering its Yeti 1000X Portable Power Station for $489 shipped. More recently fetching $900 to $1,000 after falling from its original $1,300 MSRP back at the start of 2024, we’ve seen a few different discounts over the year so far, with costs progressively getting lower as the months pass by. Most recently, we saw things hit their lowest point back in September when it fell to $500, but today that price is beaten out by this greater 46% markdown that cuts $411 off the price tag and lands it at a new all-time low price. It even beats out Goal Zero’s own website where it’s discounted to $500 at the moment.

A perfect on-the-go companion for any situation where you’ll need some backup power, the Yeti 1000X delivers a 983Wh capacity with two pure sine 1,500W AC inverters that surge up to 3,500W alongside two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a single car port. The battery fully recharges in up to nine hours via a standard wall outlet, which can be sped up with the brand’s Yeti X 600W Power Supply that cuts that timeframe down to just two hours. You can also take advantage of up to 600W of solar input to recharge via sunlight in two to four hours, with the minimum 100W of needed input taking a longer 12 to 24 hours, depending on conditions.

EcoFlow flash sale on WAVE 2 Portable AC/Heater

EcoFlow flash sale takes $400 off WAVE 2 portable AC/Heater for $899 low (Today only)

We’re entering the last few days of EcoFlow’s Halloween sale, and for today only is the last of this event’s flash sales, offering the WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner with Heater for $899 shipped. Normally priced at $1,299, it’s been keeping between $999 and its full price for much of the year, with some occasional falls lower to the $899 low in past flash sales, which is repeating here today, saving you $400 and giving you the best rate we have tracked – but don’t wait too long if you’re in need of a better portable air conditioning and heating option!

EcoFlow’s WAVE 2 delivers powerful air conditioning and heating in a portable form, ready at any moment to tackle temperature needs in whatever space you’re living in, traveling in, or working in – requiring no installation or drainage. It provides 5,100 BTUs of cooling and 6,100 BTUs of heating – with the heating able to effectively raise the temperature by 18 degrees in a matter of five minutes. And there’s no concern about its environmental impact as it utilizes R290, a natural refrigerant that comes in far greener and eco-friendlier than similar devices like it. The whole unit runs relatively quiet at 44dB while set in sleep mode too, allowing you to get some proper shut-eye while remaining comfy.

While this appliance comes with only the regular plug-in option, which gives you non-stop use through a standard wall outlet and similar options, you can also purchase its add-on battery (sold separately) to get up to 8 hours of AC or heating before needing to find a power source. Pairing it alongside your existing power stations is also an option, with either a DELTA 2 or DELTA Max power station providing an additional seven or 14 hours to the battery life, and even more, if you’ve got the appropriate solar panels as well.

Be sure to check out the full extent of EcoFlow’s Halloween savings while it lasts.

Tesla (TSLA) is down 22% in Europe while EVs were up 30%

Tesla (TSLA) is down 22% in Europe while EVs were up 30%

The latest automotive numbers in Europe were released for August, confirming that Tesla’s decline is continuing, but it has slowed down, with the company “only” being down 22%.

However, the most worrying part for Tesla is that it is happening while battery-electric vehicle sales were up 30% last month.

Tesla’s decline in Europe has been well-documented for the last two years, but it has accelerated significantly in 2025, with Tesla experiencing a monthly decrease of 30-40% year-over-year.

In somewhat good news for the company, the decline has slowed in August.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) released its report for sales in August 2025.

It confirms that Tesla delivered 14,831 vehicles in Europe (EU + EFTA + UK) in August 2025, down 22% from August 2024.

In comparison, the decline is not as alarming as previous months, but it now brings Tesla’s total deliveries year-to-date to 133,857 vehicles compared to 198,474 vehicles in 2024. That’s down -32.6%.

Where things start to get more alarming for Tesla is when you compare it to the broader EV market.

ACEA reports:

The YOY variation in August 2025 showed a rise of 30.2% for battery-electric and 14.1% for hybrid-electric cars, while plug-in-hybrid electric recorded its sixth consecutive month of continuous strong growth with a 54.5% increase.

Here are the results for August and year-to-date in EU + EFTA + UK:

Electrek’s Take

It should be alarming when the world’s biggest electric automaker sees its sales decline 22% in a market where electric vehicle sales are surging 30%.

There’s certainly something wrong that should be addressed.

However, Tesla is not addressing the issue. In fact, Elon Musk even outright dismissed it when asked about it a few months ago. He doesn’t have to, because he has convinced Tesla shareholders that EV sales no longer matter, and it’s about autonomous driving and robots.

Musk even commented on this ACEA report. Reuters published it and claimed that BYD outsold Tesla in the EU. Musk retweeted and commented on a post claiming that Reuters was misleading:

Reuters is not being misleading. BYD outsold Tesla 9,130 units to 8,220 units in the EU last month.

If they had said “Europe” rather than the EU, it would have been misleading, but they didn’t.

Tesla did outsell BYD in broader Europe, if you include EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland) and the UK: 14,831 to 11,455 units.

Either way, I don’t know why he would want to get into that conversation whatsoever because in EU+EFTA+UK, BYD was up 215% last month compared to Tesla being down 22%.

Year-to-date, BYD is up 280% compared ot Tesla being down 32%.

At this pace, BYD is likely to outsell Tesla for the entire year, and the Chinese automaker is operating under tariffs in Europe, a market where it has only been present for about three years.

Elon has fully lost the plot.

Hyundai is now recalling nearly 8,000 Genesis EVs

Hyundai is now recalling nearly 8,000 Genesis EVs

Hyundai-recalling-Genesis-EVs

Hyundai Motor is recalling nearly 8,000 2023-2025 Genesis GV60 EVs due to a potential issue with the molding at the top of the windshield that may cause it to fall off.

Why is Hyundai recalling Genesis GV60 EVs?

After issuing a recall for nearly 600,000 Pallisade, IONIQ 5, and IONIQ 6 vehicles last week, you can add a few more to the list.

Hyundai is recalling certain 2023-2025 model year Genesis GV60 EVs due to a potential issue with the molding at the top of the windshield, which may peel or even detach while driving.

Those with impacted vehicles may hear a wind noise or whistling coming from the upper part of the windshield. After running internal tests, Hyundai found the issue was due to insufficient adhesion from the supplier.

Although no crashes or injuries were reported, Hyundai is aware of 112 reports of molding detachment from October 26, 2022, through August 8, 2025.

Hyundai has since fixed the issue and estimates that only 1% of the 7,855 Genesis GV60 EVs being recalled actually have the defect.

The company expects to mail owner notification letters on November 17, 2025. GV60 owners can contact Genesis customer service at 844-340-9741 with questions. Hyundai’s recall number is 028G.

Owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit NHTSA.gov for more information. The NHTSA campaign number for the recall is 25V624.

According to Cox Automotive, Hyundai sold 3,400 Genesis GV60 models in the US in 2023, 2,866 in 2024, and another 1,192 in the first half of 2025. So, that would be just about all Genesis GV60s sold in the US from 2023 through the first few months of 2025.

After dropping the Electrified G80 from its lineup earlier this year, Genesis now sells just two EVs in the US: the GV60 and Electrified GV70.

What we know about Rivian software update 2025.34 including highway assist upgrades [Update]

Published

What we know about Rivian software update 2025.34 including highway assist upgrades [Update]

Rivian software update

A new software update from Rivian was sighted earlier this month, and it’s being prepared for a full rollout to Gen 2 R1S and R1T EVs. The latest Rivian update includes upgrades to the American automaker’s Enhanced Highway Assist driving, more energy-conscious home charging capabilities, and a slew of other improvements outlined below.

Update September 25, 2025: Rivian has confirmed the details of software update 2025.34 outlined below. However, we still do not have a concrete timeline for when the update will roll out to current R1S and R1T owners.

Like most software-defined vehicles, Rivian models like the R1S and R1T receive periodic updates over-the-air (OTA). As a Rivian owner and an enthusiast, software updates are often exciting news to report on, as they usually result in new features or abilities to existing technology or enable various efficiencies (and bug fixes fixes, of course).

Over the past six months, we’ve seen updates like 2025.10, which rolled out to the public in early April, and 2025.14, which updated the BEV’s Highway Assist feature. In late May, RivianTrackr shared that software update 2025.18 was rolling out internally before launching wide to Rivian owners, and it was one of the more robust rollouts we had seen for a while.

Most recently, a similar site called RivianRoamer has reported on a new software update, 2025.34, which has already been spotted before it makes its way out to the public

Source: Rivian.com

Rivian software update adds new “Co-Steer” feature

Per reports, Rivian software update 2025.34 is in the works in a beta version before it inevitably makes its way to the community of R1S and R1T owners. That being said, please note that any of these listed features or improvements could change or be removed altogether before the update goes out wide.

The first notable upgrade pertains to the Enhanced Highway Assist ADAS in Gen 2 Rivian models. Right now, the pending software update will enable a new assist feature called “Co-Steer,” which will allow a driver to adjust their given position within a lane using “gentle steering inputs” without the Enhanced Highway Assist disengaging.

Speaking of Enhanced Highway Assist, Rivian shared that the availability of the ADAS feature has increased by up to 50%, particularly on urban and suburban highways. Lastly, the 2025.34 update includes a new perception model that improves lane centering performance, especially on curves.

Additionally, Rivian’s latest pending software update will allow your vehicle to automatically charge itself during off-peak times at your home when electricity is cheaper, ensuring your vehicle is ready when you need it.

According to the report, “smart scheduling” can cut annual home EV charging costs by 20% or more and increase your use of clean energy. You can enable this feature and monitor everything through your account in the Rivian app (version 3.5 or later).

Other updates and big fixes from 2025.34 (subject to change)

  • Audio improvements (Gen 2 Rivian models)
    • Fine-tuned equalization and delays to make the bass feel richer and more impactful
    • Soundstage improvements for better localization, separation, and layering
    • Improved blending of Dolby Atmos content for all listening positions
  • Performance improvements
    • Updated and improved media apps, including increased touchscreen responsiveness
    • Improved Navigation stability and responsiveness
    • Improved responsiveness to mobile commands while vehicle is asleep
  • Resolved rare issue that prevented users from accepting the terms of service for Rivian Navigation with Google Maps
  • Fixed issue that kept Gear Guard video thumbnails from displaying properly on the Motion Cam and Incidents screens
  • Resolved rare issue where the tonneau cover position is displayed incorrectly on certain screens of Gen 1 R1T models
  • Resolved rare issue that caused fog lights to turn off and exterior lights to revert to Auto mode (Gen 1)
  • Fixed issue that caused trip energy and efficiency data to fluctuate unexpectedly
  • Improvements to the accuracy of battery range on arrival estimates, including adding location air density as a factor for locations at higher elevations
  • Resolved rare issue that prevented the door handles from presenting for an unlock request while Car Wash mode is active (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Reduced excessive blower noise during climate control start-up in mild conditions while maintaining cooling performance in extreme temperatures (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Fixed rare issue that caused cabin conditioning requests initiated from the Rivian mobile app to fail on the first attempt (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Additional improvements for 12V battery health detection, including in-vehicle and mobile app notifications to alert you when the 12V battery needs to be replaced (Gen 2 EVs)

That’s all for now. As a reminder, the above release notes pertain to a beta version of the software update, and 2025.34 could be different when it reaches Rivian owners in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for it!

In the meantime, I recommend scheduling a test drive with Rivian if you haven’t done so yet. See if you can get behind the wheel of an upcoming R2. It’s a winner!
