Rad Power’s Presidents’ Day sale drops the RadRunner Plus utility e-bike to new $1,499 low

Rad Power’s Presidents’ Day sale is in full swing, with up to $500 in savings across a large lineup of e-bikes, with some 50% off accessory promotions on newer models – and the brand is once again offering limited-time flash deals (ending February 17) alongside longer-lasting deals (ending February 26). Among the offers, which include some solid savings on the popular RadRover 6 Plus and RadCity 5 Plus e-bikes, we spotted the best rate yet on the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike that is down at $1,499 shipped. Fetching $1,799 since Rad dropped the MSRP by $200 back at the top of 2024, we’ve only seen it go as low as $1,599 in early 2024, with the latter half of the year (and into 2025) seeing it drop to $1,699. You’ll be getting a nice $300 off its going rate here, landing it at a new all-time low and giving folks a great opportunity to upgrade their commutes.

A perfect companion for versatile commuters, Rad Power’s RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike is ready to get you to work, help out with errand running, or shepherd a friend along with you thanks to the combination of its 750W brushless geared hub motor, the 672Wh battery, five levels of pedal assistance, and its rear rack (that comes with a padded seat). You’ll get up to 45+ miles of travel on a single charge (as long as your not just using the throttle) at top speeds of 20 MPH.

The stocked features include Kenda K-Rad 20-inch tires with fenders over each, Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes, an LED Headlight that can be set to automatically turn on in lower light settings, an integrated taillight with brake lighting and a flash mode, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, an integrated rear cargo rack with a 120-pound carrying capacity, a half-twist throttle, and a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your devices.

Bluetti Valentine's Day power station sale

Bluetti’s Valentine’s Day sale takes 60% off power stations with its AC180 1,152Wh LiFePO4 unit hitting a new $436 low

Bluetti has launched its Valentine’s Day sale through February 24 with up to 60% off in initial discounts, some short-term flash sale offers, member-only deals, and an extra 5% off sitewide promo code. Coming in as the most notable deal of the bunch is Bluetti’s popular AC180 Portable Power Station is dropping to $436.05 shipped, after using the promo code AFF5OFF for the additional 5% savings. This unit normally goes for $999 at full price, which we saw hit $455 in the previous New Year sale and is now dropping even lower this time around. Thanks to the extra 5% in savings, you’re looking at a new all-time low that saves you $563 while equipping you with one of the brand’s most reliable backup power solution.

One of the brand’s most popular units for portable backup power needs, the AC180 brings a 1,152Wh LiFePO4 capacity into the equation that is ready to cover devices and appliances with an 1,800W output that surges up to 2,700W when needed. It offers 11 port options to achieve these means: four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC, and even a wireless charging pad. Recharging takes as little as 45 minutes to reach an 80% battery when plugging the station into a wall outlet, or you can get that same recharge in 2.8 to 3.3 hours when utilizing 500W of solar input. You’ll find solar generator bundles for this model starting from $664.05 (using the coupon code) for a 100W panel, with other options for 200W, 350W, and 400W panels on the same page.

Jackery explorer 2000 plus power station bundle

Jackery Valentine’s flash sale drops Explorer 2000 Plus solar generator with two 200W panels to new $1,799 low

As part of its ongoing tax season sale, Jackery has added a 3-day Valentine’s flash sale on five backup power solutions, which is cutting the sale’s price on these offers down further through the rest of the weekend. Among the bouquet of savings, we noticed Jackery’s Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station bundled with two 200W solar panels falling to $1,799 shipped. Normally costing you $3,299 at its full price, it’s only been seen going as low as $1,899 since Black Friday, when the rate first appeared. Today’s flash deal is taking things lower than ever, with the 45% markdown here saving you $1,500 at a new all-time low. It’s also beating out the pricing through the brand’s official Amazon storefront, which is keeping it $100 higher.

Coming in as one of the brand’s expandable setups, Jackery’s Explorer 2000 Plus starts with a solid 2,042.8Wh LiFePO4 capacity that have five extra batteries added to the mix, taking things up to 12,000Wh – plus, you can connect two of these full setups (two power stations + 10 batteries) to double things to 24,000Wh. The station produces plenty of output power for devices and appliances alike through its 10 ports, with it regularly dishing out up to 3,000W that can surge up to 6,000W. There’s also the 1,200W of max solar input here too, which gives you a full battery in two hours when utilized (six 200W panels), so you’re looking at around four to five+ hours with this bundle. You can also regain a full battery in two hours by plugging the station into a wall outlet too, though keep in mind this doesn’t account for any expanded setups.

***Note: Some of these offers may have extra 5% off promotions going during these sales, which have not been factored into the prices below. Be sure to use the provided on-page codes at checkout for the maximum savings!

Personalize your Tesla and add range with HALODISC 2 wheel covers


Tesla drivers, if you’ve been looking for a way to protect your OEM wheels, turn heads, and bonus – squeeze out more range! – the all-new HALODISC 2 Custom Numbers wheel covers from Haloblk (pronounced “halo-black”) check every box.

Electrek readers can use promo code ELECTREK25 for 25% OFF throughout October.

These aren’t just any wheel covers. They’re explicitly engineered for Tesla and proven by thousands of drivers to boost range by up to 10%. The sleek, aerodynamic design cuts through air resistance and reduces wheel turbulence, so you get more miles out of every charge – especially on highways and long road trips. Available in black or white, you can pick the color that best matches your Tesla’s look.

Racing-inspired performance meets everyday practicality

The HALODISC 2 wheel covers feature a racing-inspired center-lock system, ensuring maximum stability and safety at every speed. Installation takes just 30 seconds using the included tool, and the full-coverage design shields your OEM wheels from scratches and curb rash. They even come with an integrated anti-theft mechanism, so you know they’ll always be secure.

Personalize them: your number, your story

Here’s where things get really fun. The Custom Numbers Series lets you choose a number from 00 to 99 – maybe it’s your birth year, a lucky number, or something meaningful to you. You can also engrave up to 30 characters of custom text on each wheel cover. Whether it’s a motto, a dedication, or something that makes you smile, this bespoke touch makes your Tesla truly yours.

Built for every Tesla

The HALODISC 2 wheel covers fit all major Tesla models, including the Model 3, Model 3 Highland, Model Y, Model Y Juniper, Model S, and Model X. They’re compatible with 20+ OEM wheel sizes, so you can upgrade your ride no matter what you drive.

Early access & exclusive discounts

Electrek readers get special treatment:

  • But here’s the best part: Electrek readers can use promo code ELECTREK25 for 25% OFF. One-time use per customer. A set of four wheel covers starts at $449.

Boost your range, protect your wheels, and tell your story – all in one sleek upgrade.

Bonus gift for Electrek readers

The first 10 customers who purchase HALODISC 2 Custom Numbers using the ELECTREK25 promo code will receive a free HALOBLK Carbon Fiber Emblem – Halo Effect Series.

This emblem is crafted from genuine carbon fiber – not plastic or chrome – delivering lightweight durability, impact resistance, and a high-performance aesthetic. Built to resist UV, weather, and everyday wear, it retains its gloss and finish over time, unlike standard ABS or plated emblems that fade.

With eight different carbon weave and light-reflective finishes, the Halo Effect Series gives Tesla owners unique styling options. It’s a rare upgrade: True carbon fiber emblems are typically reserved for racing and high-performance vehicles.

Choosing one is more than just an aesthetic decision; it’s a cultural nod to motorsport heritage and a way to stand out from uniform OEM emblems. It ships together with your HALODISC 2 order (US only).

Tesla pushes Tron: Ares ad inside its cars, upsetting owners

Tesla pushes Tron: Ares ad inside its cars, upsetting owners

Tesla Tron Ares update hero

Tesla has partnered with its recent foe, Disney, to promote its latest movie, Tron: Ares, with an in-car update that is not making everyone happy.

Many owners view it as Tesla making in-car advertisements and/or working on something that distracts them from needed software updates.

Today, Tesla announced and began pushing an update to its car owners, which essentially amounts to an advertisement for Disney’s new movie, Tron: Ares.

The update enables owners to turn their in-car visualization into a Tron bike.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

The update is surprising on several levels, as it essentially serves as an advertisement for a Disney movie.

Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, is notoriously not a fan of Disney and has even removed Disney+ from the Tesla Theater.

However, more importantly, Tesla is pushing advertisements to its vehicle owners inside their cars, and people are not happy.

Examining the first few dozen comments below the announcement, the reaction is mainly negative.

Tesla owner Matt Chinander wrote:

“Oh good, advertisements are making it in my car.”

Austin Harrison added:

I’m sorry but this is an absolutely worthless update. Also, when did Tesla start partnering with woke companies like Disney? Didn’t Elon just go a rampage LAST WEEK against woke?

Tesla owners are also upset that the automaker spent time and resources developing this software update rather than working on more significant updates, such as delivering on its long-promised full self-driving capabilities, especially on older HW3 cars, which have been left untouched for more than a year.

Electrek’s Take

Yes, this is not a good look. This is definitely a promotional effort for the movie. The question is: Is Tesla getting paid for this?

Is it really pushing advertising inside its vehicles?

Even if it is a cross-promotional effort, it doesn’t look great, and it’s a clear step toward automakers pushing ads inside connected vehicles.

I am not a fan all around. The idea of Tesla pushing ads in-car is not ideal, and this partnership itself is a questionable move.

I loved the original Tron movie. Legacy wasn’t great, but the soundtrack was outstanding. That said, I don’t have high hopes for this new one based on the trailer, which looked cheesy. It currently holds a 55% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The most disappointing aspect is that Tesla would spend any effort on this rather than on much-needed updates to its user interface and other software features within its vehicles.

Prediction: within the next year, Tesla will start doing this more often and offer an “ad-free experience” with its “premium connectivity subscription.”

Ford just scrapped its $7,500 EV tax credit program, but there’s still a way to save

Ford just scrapped its ,500 EV tax credit program, but there's still a way to save

Ford-EV-tax-credit

Ford is no longer planning to offer a program that would extend the $7,500 EV tax credit for at least another few months. The company said it will continue offering competitive lease payments.

Ford ends $7,500 EV tax credit program for leases

Just a day after GM suddenly ended plans for a program to extend the $7,500 EV tax credit for leases, Ford announced it will also end the offer.

“Ford will not claim the EV tax credit,” a company spokesperson confirmed with Reuters on Thursday. However, don’t expect all the savings to disappear. At least, not yet. The spokesperson added Ford will still offer the “competitive lease payments we have in the market today.”

The move comes after crosstown rival GM announced a similar decision on Wednesday. Last week, Reuters reported that Ford and GM were planning to launch programs to extend the $7,500 tax credit for EV leases.

The program involved purchasing EVs from dealer inventories through their financing divisions, enabling them to become eligible for the credit.

Ford and GM would then use the funds to continue offering the $7,500 credit for those leasing an EV. The programs were expected to run at least a few months after the September 30 deadline.

The company spokesperson said Ford Credit is still offering 0% APR financing for 72 months, along with other incentives, for electric vehicle buyers.

A source close to the matter told Reuters that GM scrapped the program after Republican Senator Bernie Moreno called to close a loophole that enabled the credit to be passed on through leasing.

“GM worked on an extended offer for the benefit of our customers and dealers,” a company spokesperson said, adding, “After further consideration, we have decided not to claim the tax credit.” The company will provide about $6,000 of its own cash instead to continue supporting EV leases. GM will also continue to fund the incentive lease terms until the end of October.

Several automakers are promising to keep the savings going with incentives of their own, including Hyundai, BMW, and Stellantis.
