Anker’s final SOLIX spring flash sale offers giant deals on F3800 power station bundles at up to $7,032 off

As part of its ongoing Spring Sale through March 31, Anker has launched the last of its SOLIX Spring Sale flash offers running through the rest of the month and taking up to 44% off in initial savings on a selection of F3800 bundles, as well as any additional savings you can score on packages that are over $3,000. Things are starting with the SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station coming along with two 200W solar panels at $2,799 shipped. This bundle would normally cost you $4,997 at full price, which we don’t usually see featured in sales as much as we do the counterpart bundle with a single 400W panel. Today’s deal is coming in lower than we’ve tracked before thanks to the $2,198 markdown, which gives you a versatile and modular backup solution at the best price we can find. If you’d prefer the latest F3800 Plus model, be sure to check out the massive savings from its launch that have been extended alongside these deals.

Anker’s SOLIX F3800 is one of the best options for folks who want more versatility and expandability, as it starts with a 3,840Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can rise as high as 26.9kWh with future investments into its compatible expansion batteries (or scoring them in a bundle below). It puts out a normal 6,000W of output power that can surge up to 9,000W for large-scale appliances and home backup needs. There are 15+ output port options to connect to, which include dedicated ports for your RV, EV, and your home’s circuit breaker – though the latter will require either the Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the Home Power Panel for whole-home coverage and roof panel connections. You can recharge its own battery through an AC wall outlet, or connect up to its maximum 2,400W of solar input, which can refill the battery to 80% in 1.5 hours with ideal conditions.

If you’re trying to figure out which would be best for you – Anker’s SOLIX F3800 or the new SOLIX F3800 Plus, there are only a few differences to really keep in mind. First, the F3800 Plus has an increased solar input of 3,200W, as well as an increased capacity that it can take in from a generator. From there, it mainly depends on whether you’re an RV trekker or not – as the standard F3800 offers both L14-30R and 14-50R port options, while the F3800 Plus provides L14-30R and TT-30R ports, better for RV backup needs. Be sure to check out the full rundown of capabilities for the newly released F3800 Plus and its massive savings in our original coverage here.

These flash sale offers will be running for the rest of the month alongside Anker’s overall SOLIX Spring Sale deals, and be sure to also check out the extended F3800 Plus savings, as well as the recently added EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler savings, which will both last through the end of the main sale.

EVOLV takes up to $400 in spring savings off four of its electric scooters starting from $1,129

EVOLV has a Spring Sale savings event going on right now, which is taking up to $400 off a selection of its higher-end e-scooters, starting with the TERRA Electric Scooter that starts at the lowest rate of $1,129 shipped, after using the promo code SPRING-SALE at checkout. Coming off its usual $1,229 price tag, we don’t see too many discounts across the lineup and when we do, it’s often in small amounts, with this model usually only seeing this same $100 markdown – including for Black Friday, which has only been beaten once over the last year when it hit a new $1,079 low in September. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked while these savings last.

The popular TERRA e-scooter sports dual 600W motors alongside a 15.6Ah battery, giving it the capabilities to reach 31 MPH top speeds and carry you anywhere for up to 34 miles on a single five to seven hours of charging. There are two driving modes here – the dual mode, activating both motors to produce up to 2,200W of peak power for maximum speed and tackling inclines, as well as the eco mode, which only utilizes one motor to limit things at 15 MPH, providing longer-lasting rides. Among its stock features, you’ll find front and rear shock suspension, dual drum brakes, dual LED headlights and dual LED taillights, as well as in-deck lights too – plus, the folding frame that conserves storage space when its not in use.

Clear yard debris by blowing, collecting, and/or mulching with Worx’s 12A Trivac at $70

As part of its Big Spring Sale, Amazon is offering the Worx WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum for $70.48 shipped. It’s coming down off its usual $100 price tag here today, with the last year mainly seeing prices drop between $75 and $95 on average, though we did see it go as low as $65 during Black Friday. While we have seen the price drop as far as $60 in the past, this deal gives you one of the best recent rates we’ve tracked at $30 off the going rate, landing it down among the lowest we have seen.

The Worx Trivac was designed with the phrase “work smarter, not harder” in mind, offering up a 3-in-1 functionality to either blow, collect, and/or mulch the debris in your yard. The standard blower settings max out at 210 MPH worth of airflow, while the included bag provides the means for collection, which is controlled via a simple flip of a switch. It boasts a two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades to complete mulching tasks, which Worx assures “takes 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into one.” It weighs in at only 10 pounds for easier use despite varying sizes and strengths, and sports an angled collection nozzle so you can even reach under patio furniture, your deck, and more. This is a corded model, by the way, so you just have to keep it plugged in for prolonged use rather than wait for any batteries to recharge.

After starting a “stealth program” years ago, Rivian’s (RIVN) new spin off will take on the micromobility space. Rivian spun out its micromobility business into a new EV startup called Also, Inc. The new brand will focus on lightweight vehicles like electric scooters, bikes, and more. Here’s what we know about Rivian’s new startup so far.

Rivian spin-off Also is a micromobility EV startup

Rivian is known for its flagship R1S electric SUV and R1T pickup, but the EV maker is planning to launch a series of (much) smaller vehicles.

Several years ago, Rivian started a “stealth program focused on micromobility” after seeing a massive need for smaller, sustainable transportation options.

In 2022, Rivian filed a trademark for electric bicycles and scooters, including the supporting components like battery packs, electric motors, and more.

Rivian’s initial goal was to see if it could use its advanced EV powertrain and software stack to make better products than what’s offered. And at a lower cost.

After significant advancements over the past few years, cutting costs and improving efficiency, the company said it “became clear Rivian’s approach had the potential to unlock a large opportunity.” According to Rivian, that opportunity deserves its own business.

Rivian announced on Wednesday that it has spun out its micromobility business into a new EV startup called Also, Inc.

Also secured a $105 million investment from Eclipse Ventures, which will be used to support the startup’s growth. Rivian’s CEO RJ Scaringe will serve as a Board of Director as Chairman.

Scaringe said, “For the world to fully transition to electrified transportation, a range of vehicle types and form factors will be needed.” According to Scaringe, the new EV startup will introduce several new innovations that will underpin “a range of highly compelling micromobility products” that will define new categories.

Rivian owns a “substantial minority stake” in Also and said it expects more opportunities for collaboration in the future. However, it will remain a standalone company.

Scaringe told TechCrunch that the “stealth” micromobility program now consists of around 70 former Apple, Google, Tesla, and Uber employees.

The startup will showcase its first product later this year. Although no details were offered, Scaringe said, “There’s a seat, and there’s two wheels, there’s a screen, and there’s a few computers and a battery.”

Meanwhile, Rivian is preparing to launch its midsize R2. In an update on Tuesday, Tony Sanger, the company’s VP of production facilities, said the expansion at its Normal, IL plant for R2 is still on track. Rivian plans to begin deliveries in the first half of 2026.

Tesla has started hyping its upcoming ‘unsupervised full self-driving’ launch in Austin in June. Let’s cut through the hype.

Here’s what Tesla will actually launch.

CEO Elon Musk has been talking about Tesla launching self-driving programs in Texas and California in Q2 2025 since last year.

Lately, he has turned Tesla’s focus to a specific paid ride-hailing service using self-driving in Austin, Texas in June. Here’s what he said precisely during Tesla’s last earnings call in January:

Advertisement – scroll for more content

So, we’re going to be launching unsupervised full self-driving as a paid service in Austin in June. So, I talked to the team. We feel confident in being able to do an initial launch of unsupervised, no one in the car, full self-driving in Austin in June. We already have Teslas operating autonomously unsupervised full self-driving at our factory in Fremont, and we’ll soon be doing that at our factory in Texas.

The “unsupervised self-driving” operation in Fremont that Musk is referring to is simply Tesla’s vehicles driving themselves to loading areas at low speeds and on private roads – it’s a world of difference compared to operating unsupervised on public roads.

Speaking of the word “unsupervised,” it’s an important term that comes from Tesla’s telling owners that its “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) features require “supervision” at all times.

Therefore, going “unsupervised” is an critical step for Tesla and something that Musk promised would happen for all owners who bought its ‘FSD’ package every year for the last 6 years.

Now, Tesla is hyping the upcoming launch as “the future is autonomous and it starts in Austin, this June”:

With the launch coming within just a few months, there’s still a lot of confusion around what Tesla will actually launch in Austin.

What will Tesla actually launch in Austin

Based on all the information released to date, Tesla plans to have an internal vehicle fleet, consisting of its existing vehicle lineup, although some believe Tesla will also use its new Cybercab, offering a paid ride-hailing service (à la Uber) in a geo-fenced area around Austin.

This is a significant shift for Tesla, which has been promising that all its consumer vehicles built since 2016 have all the hardware necessary for unsupervised self-driving and that it would come through a future over-the-air software update.

Musk has claimed that Tesla would turn a switch and enable millions of robotaxis overnight.

At the same time, he has criticized Waymo’s strategy of deploying its system in mapped geo-fenced areas for being too difficult to scale.

However, Tesla’s upcoming launch in Austin is extremely similar to what Waymo has been operating for years, with the main difference being that Tesla only uses cameras while Waymo uses a full array of different sensors, including lidar.

Musk also said that the Austin service will be “unsupervised” with “no one in the car,” but those are not exactly the same.

While there might be no one in the cars, we reported that Tesla was looking to hire people to work in teleoperation to support its self-driving vehicles shortly after announcing its plan for unsupervised ride-hailing services in Texas and California last year.

This would suggest that Tesla will use teleoperation to at least “supervise” the fleet of vehicles to be deployed in Austin.

Electrek’s Take

It’s pretty funny that Tesla would claim “the future is autonomous and it starts in Austin, this June” after Elon claimed that autonomous driving was a “solved problem” 10 years ago.

Furthermore, Waymo has been operating in several cities for years the exact service that Tesla plans to launch in Austin, including in Austin itself, since earlier this year.

To be clear, I’m not saying that Tesla’s launch of this service is a bad thing; I’m just saying it is a massive pivot compared to what Tesla, and Elon in particular, have been claiming it would launch for years.

It feels like after being consistently wrong about when unsupervised self-driving is coming for the last 6 years, Elon needs a win, and this enables Tesla to claim that it delivered self-driving – even if it’s not the unsupervised self-driving in consumer vehicles that it has been promising owners for years.

It will help distract from the current mess that comes with the recent admission that the millions of HW3 vehicles on the road will not be capable of self-driving. I also think that HW4 vehicles are going to be next.
