EcoFlow’s New Year phase 2 deals see DELTA 2 Max solar generator with two 220W panels and bag hit $1,472

We’re out of 2025’s gates and EcoFlow is switching over to phase 2 of its ongoing New Year sale through January 19, with new site-exclusive deals, with the free gifts being traded for extra savings at certain cart thresholds. We’ve spotted some first-time offers today, like the brand’s DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station that is coming along with two 220W solar panels and a protective bag for $1,471.55 shipped, after using the continued sitewide coupon 25NYAFF5 at checkout for an extra 5% off. This travel-ready package is seeing $1,804 cut from its $3,276 full price, setting the bar for future discounts. We have seen this solar generator combo without the transport bag being offered for $1,659 back during EcoFlow’s Prime Day sale, but you’re getting the bag added in at $187 lower – making this New Year deal all the sweeter.

During this next phase of EcoFlow’s New Year sale, members will continue receiving 2x EcoCredits on select offers, which you can redeem for added savings at checkout. The savings don’t stop there, as all customers will benefit from the extra 5% off on orders over $2,000, as well as the extra 7% being taken off orders over $5,000.

EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max power station provides you with plenty of juice for out-of-the-house adventures, as well as home backup support in times of emergency. The 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity here can be further invested in to expand up to 6,144Wh with additional extra batteries. Its 2,400W power output should handle most of your appliance needs through its 15 port options, though you can always activate its X-Boost mode to bump that to 3,400W output for larger ones. It allows for two solar inputs to be hooked up to reach a maximum of 1,000W for recharging, or you can take advantage of its dual-charging capabilities using solar alongside a standard wall outlet for 80% battery in 43 minutes, among other options.

***Note: The prices below have not had the additional 5% sitewide coupon or the extra 5%/7% savings factored in, be sure to use the code 25NYAFF5 at checkout to maximize savings on orders under $2,000!

LG washer/dryer for easier laundry

Save $1,000 on LG’s all-in-one electric ventless washer/dryer combo with inverter heat pump at $1,999

LG is offering its All-in-One 5.0 Cubic-Foot Electric Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo for $1,999 shipped. Usually going for $2,999 direct from the brand, with higher starting rates elsewhere, this is the second-lowest price we have seen on this eco-conscious and efficient model, only beaten out by July 4th sale when it dropped to $1,500 for a short period. Today’s deal saves you $1,000, which you can use to further invest in other home upgrades or treat yourself. You can also find it at Best Buy for $2,000 at the moment, with bonus savings up to $1,000 when buying multiple appliances together.

LG’s ENERGY STAR-certified all-in-one washer/dryer combo brings intelligent functionality into your life for easier living and far less hassles during laundry duties. Alongside the obvious smart controls you’ll gain through the app, its been given a built-in smart system that can detect what fabrics you throw inside and just how soiled they may be, with the system then adjusting its own settings to give them the optimal wash. This lets you save some memory space from having to memorize what cycles and settings are best for your clothes and fabrics.

There are two notable features here above the rest, the first being the ventless design that lets you install it anywhere on top of the inverter heat pump tech increasing efficiency “using up to 60% less energy with every load ”over other models. The second standout is the ezDispense reservoir that offers enough capacity to dish out up to 31 loads of detergent, with an option to split things between detergent and fabric softener. There are some accessories available to expand its capabilities, like the pedestal washer or the storage drawer, which you can find on the same page.

EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch snow blower

EGO Power+ 56V cordless snow blower with two 5.0Ah batteries hits best price in years at $549

Amazon is helping with snow-clearing responsibilities by offering the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Snow Blower with two 5.0Ah batteries for $549 shipped. This model with this combination of batteries usually fetches $700 in full, and has seen very few discounts over the last year compared with the 4.0Ah battery package that usually sees most of the savings attention. You can grab one for your household or business with a 22% markdown here, saving you $151 off the going rate at the best price on Amazon in the last few years.

Bigger and more heavy-duty than other budget models, this 56V snow blower from EGO Power+ utilizes a brushless motor to clear out a 21-inch wide path through piling snow, tossing it up to 35 feet out of the way. The two 5.0Ah batteries gives you plenty of juice to clear up to 8-inch high snow from a 10-car driveway on a single charge, with a variable speed control for improved handling and two bright LED headlights for increased visibility at the top and bottom of the day. It also starts up at the push of a button, making pull strings a thing of the past – especially considering having to deal with them in cold weather, which is never pleasant when they act up.

Here’s what TSLA analysts are saying about Tesla’s big delivery miss

Here's what TSLA analysts are saying about Tesla's big delivery miss

Tesla (TSLA) montreal

Most Wall Street analysts covering Tesla’s stock (TSLA) badly misread the automaker’s delivery volumes this quarter. Some of them have started releasing notes to clients following Tesla’s production and delivery results.

Here’s what they have to say:

According to Tesla-compiled analyst consensus, the automaker was expected to report “377,592 deliveries” in the first quarter.

Tesla confirmed yesterday that it delivered only 336,000 electric vehicles during the first three months of 2025.

  • Cantor Fitzgerald was the first analyst firm to issue a note after the release. They reaffirmed their overweight rating with a $425 price target. As we previously reported, Cantor has some major conflicts of interest with Tesla and CEO Elon Musk.
  • Truist Securities maintained its hold rating on Tesla’s stock, but it greatly lowered its price target from $373 to $280 a share. They insist that while their earnings expectations have crashed because they overestimated deliveries, investors should focus on Tesla’s self-driving effort, which they see as “much more important for the long-term value of the stock.”
  • Goldman Sachs lowered its price target from $320 to $275 a share. The firm expected 375,000 deliveries from Tesla in Q1 and therefore had to adjust its earnings expectations with almost 40,000 fewer deliveries.
  • Wedbush‘s Dan Ives, one of Tesla’s biggest cheerleaders, called the delivery results “disastrous”, but he reiterated his $550 price target on Tesla’s stock.
  • UBS has reiterated its $225 price target which it had lowered last month after adjusting its delivery expectations in Q1 to 367,000 – one of the more accurate predictions on Wall Street.
  • CFRA‘s analyst Garrett Nelson reduced his price target from $385 to $360 a share.

Electrek’s Take

I find it funny that most of them are maintaining or barely changing their expectations after they were so wrong about Tesla in Q1.

If you were so wrong in Q1, you should expect to be incorrect also for the rest of the year, and readjust accordingly.

But Cantor is invested in Tesla, and the firm is owned by Elon’s friend, who happens to now be the secretary of commerce. Truist still believes Elon’s self-driving lies, Goldman Sachs overestimated Tesla’s deliveries by the equivalent of $2 billion in revenues, and Dan Ives is Dan Ives.

Covering Tesla over the last 15 years has confirmed to me that most Wall Street analysts have no idea what they are doing – or at least not when it comes to companies like Tesla.

Do you know any who have been consistently good lately? I’d love suggestions in the comment section below.

Fintech stocks such as Affirm, PayPal plunge on concern Trump tariffs will hurt consumer spending

Fintech stocks such as Affirm, PayPal plunge on concern Trump tariffs will hurt consumer spending

The global market rout on Thursday, sparked by President Donald Trump’s announcement of widespread tariffs, had an outsized effect on fintech companies and credit card issuers that are closely tied to consumer spending and credit.

Affirm, which offers buy now, pay later purchasing options, plunged 19%, while stock trading app Robinhood slid 10% and payments company PayPal fell 8%. American Express and Capital One each tumbled 10%, and Discover was down more than 8%.

President Trump on Wednesday laid out the U.S. “reciprocal tariff” rates that more than 180 countries and territories, including European Union members, will face under his sweeping new trade policy. Trump said his plan will set a 10% baseline tariff across the board, but that number is much higher for some countries.

The announcement sent stocks reeling, wiping out nearly $2 trillion in value from the S&P 500, and pushing the tech-heavy Nasdaq down 6%, its worst day since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

The sell-off was especially notable for companies most exposed to consumer spending and global supply chains, including payment providers and lenders. Fintech companies that rely on transaction volume or installment-based lending could see both revenue and credit performance deteriorate.

“When you go down the spectrum, that’s when you have more cyclical risk, more exposure to tariffs,” said Sanjay Sakhrani, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, citing PayPal and Affirm as businesses at risk. He said bigger companies in the space “are more defensive” and better positioned.

Visa, Mastercard and Fiserv held up better on Thursday.

Dan Dolev, an analyst at Mizuho, said bank processors such as Fiserv are less exposed to tariff volatility.

“It’s considered a safe haven,” he said.

Affirm executives have previously said rising prices might increase demand for their products. Chief Financial Officer Rob O’Hare said higher prices could push more consumers toward buy now, pay later services.

“If tariffs result in higher prices for consumers, we’re there to help,” O’Hare said at a Stocktwits fireside chat last month. Affirm CEO Max Levchin has offered similar comments.

However, James Friedman, an analyst at SIG, told CNBC that delinquencies become a concern. He compared Affirm to private-label store cards, and pointed to historical trends in credit performance during downturns, noting that “private label delinquency rates run roughly double” in a recession when compared to traditional credit cards.

“You have to look at who’s overexposed to discretionary,” he said.

Affirm did not provide a comment but pointed to recent remarks from its executives.

Mazda’s $20,000 Chinese EV is about to launch overseas and a new SUV is up next

Mazda's ,000 Chinese EV is about to launch overseas and a new SUV is up next

Mazda-first-EV-overseas

Wait, Mazda sells a real EV? It’s only in China for now, but that will change very soon. The first Mazda 6e built for overseas markets rolled off the assembly line Thursday. Mazda’s new EV will arrive in Europe, Southeast Asia, and other overseas markets later this year. This could be the start of something with a new SUV due out next.

Mazda’s new EV rolls off assembly for overseas markets

The Mazda EZ-6 has been on sale in China since October with prices starting as low as 139,800 yuan, or slightly under $20,000.

Earlier this year, Mazda introduced the 6e, the global version of its electric car sold in China. The stylish electric sedan is made by Changan Mazda, Mazda’s joint venture in China.

After the first Mazda 6e model rolled off the production line at the company’s Nanjing Plant, Mazda said it’s ready to “conquer the new era of electrification with China Smart Manufacturing.”

The new global “6e” model will be built at Changan Mazda’s plant and exported to overseas markets including Europe, Thailand, and other parts of Southeast Asia.

Mazda calls it “both a Chinese car and a global car,” with Changan’s advanced EV tech and Mazda’s signature design.

Built on Changan’s hybrid platform, the EZ-6 is offered in China with both electric (EV) and extended-range (EREV) powertrains. The EV version has a CLTC driving range of up to 600 km (372 miles) and can fast charge (30% to 80%) in about 15 minutes.

Mazda’s new EV will be available with two battery options in Europe: 68.8 kWh or 80 kWh. The larger (80 kWh) battery gets up to 552 km (343 miles) WLTP range, while the 68.8 kWh version is rated with up to 479 km (300 miles) range on the WLTP rating scale.

At 4,921 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, and 1,491 mm tall, the Mazda 6e is about the size of a Tesla Model 3 (4,720 mm long, 1,922 mm wide, and 1,441 mm tall).

Mazda said the successful rollout of the 6e kicks off “the official launch of Changan Mazda’s new energy vehicle export center” for global markets.

The company will launch a new SUV next year and plans to introduce a third and fourth new energy vehicle (NEV).

Although prices will be announced closer to launch, Mazda’s global EV will not arrive with the same $20,000 price tag in Europe as it will face tariffs as an export from China. Mazda is expected to launch the 6e later this year in Europe and Southeast Asia. Check back soon for more info.
