Two exclusive Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L dual-zone electric cooler bundles save you up to $600 at new lows from $749

We’ve secured two lower-than-ever exclusive electric cooler price cuts from Wellbots, with the first being Anker’s new SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Dual-Zone Electric Cooler with a free Road-Trip Kit for $749 shipped, after using the exclusive code 9TO5COOL100 at checkout. Normally priced at $1,100 here and $1,150 directly from Anker, we saw this same bundle offer from Wellbots back in February ahead of the cooler’s release in March, where the discount took things to $809. Now, with the exclusive savings today, you’re looking at an even greater $351 markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price. On top of this, you’re also getting the $50 Road-Trip Kit free, giving you a cup, a knife, and fishing rod holders that can attach to various points on the cooler. Head below to learn more about the cooler and also about the additional exclusive bundle that gives you more battery power alongside solar capabilities.

The largest of Anker’s new line of electric coolers, the 58L SOLIX EverFrost 2 is the sole model sporting the dual-zone compartments that allow for simultaneous refrigeration and freezing. Upgraded from the first generation’s direct cooling to an air-cooling system, it’s able to drop to your desired temperatures (-4 to 68 degrees) even faster. The first of these deals gives you the standard package that comes with one 288Wh removable battery, while there is a port for a second one that extends its capabilities, which the brand claims to deliver up to 104 hours of continuous runtime in its Eco Mode (bundle below).

These batteries can also serve a secondary purpose as power banks when the coolers aren’t in use, with your devices getting topped off by either the 60W USB-C or 12W USB-A ports, which also act as one of the battery’s recharging options too. There are three other ways to refill the battery: plugging it into a wall outlet, using the included cables to plug into your car’s auxiliary port, or you can connect up to 100W of solar input. Built for your outdoor adventures, the cooler has an IPX3 water-resistance build, 6-inch wheels for semi-rough terrain, and integrated bottle opener, a fold-down tray that also acts as its pull-along handle – plus, the Road-Trip Kit accessories.

As previously mentioned, we have a secondary exclusive deal on this cooler that is also dropping things to a new all-time low, with the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler getting a second battery and a 100W solar panel for $999 shipped, down from $1,599, after using the exclusive code 9TO5COOL100 at checkout. With this bundle, you’ll get the maximum performance capabilities thanks to the two batteries here alongside utilizing the sun to recharge them, which is especially handy if you’re headed off or far from any grid to plug into.

Jackery power stations

Jackery’s 72-hour flash sale drops new HomePower 3000 solar bundle with two 200W panels to new $1,994 low ($1,005 off)

For World Environment Day, Jackery is having a flash sale through June 5 that is taking up to 50% off a collection of power stations, with the first post-launch savings hitting the new HomePower 3000 solar bundle with two 200W panels for $1,994.05 shipped, after using the promo code EXTRA5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. This new model (and the subsequent bundle) just recently hit the market last month and normally carries a $2,999 price tag outside of sales. We saw this same bundle offered with early-bird savings at $1,999, which is getting beaten out here today thanks to the additional savings code. All-in-all, you’re looking at a 34% markdown off the going rate that saves you $1,005 on the latest backup power tech at the best price we have so far seen.

Among the collection of newer v2 power stations, the HomePower 3000 is the upgraded second-generation variant to the Explorer 3000, now sporting LiFePO4 battery cells with an increased 3,072Wh capacity. It comes with the latest battery management system and ChargeShield 2.0 protections we’ve seen from the v2 series, with a steady output of up to 3,600W, which can surge higher to 7,200W for hungrier appliances, especially when you find yourself having suddenly lost power at home. It provides the same versatile array of output ports to cover your needs, with four AC outlets, a TT-30R port, two 100W USB-Cs, two USB-As, two DCs, and a car port.

It has five different ways to refill the battery, with a wall outlet putting it back to full in around 2.2 hours, on average. There’s also the options for AC/DC dual charging in 1.7 hours, as well as ports to top it off with a gas generator or from your car’s auxiliary port. Lastly, it can take up to 1,000W of solar input, with the included 400W in this bundle recharging the unit from empty in around 11 hours with sunny conditions. On top of all this, it also runs much quieter in the dedicated mode at 30dB, which won’t disturb your sleep should you be recharging it nearby.

There’s plenty of other power station and solar generator bundle deals worth checking out during Jackery’s flash sale event, which you can browse in full in our original coverage here.

Greenworks 13A 14-inch dethatcher/scarifier

Warm-season grasses are ripe for healthy repair with Greenworks’ 13A 14-inch corded detatcher/scarifier at $128

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 13A 14-Inch Corded Dethatcher/Scarifier for $127.97 shipped. Coming down off its $160 tag, we’ve mostly seen discounts going their lowest to $128 in 2025, with that same rate returning here thanks to the 20% markdown. We have seen it go as low as $106 in the past, but you’re otherwise looking at one of its lowest tracked prices in the last year, giving you $32 off the going rate.

If you have a warm-season grass type in your yard (Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, and St. Augustinegrass, for example), early summer is a ripe time to pick up this Greenworks dethatcher/scarifier to repair damages and get it back to healthy condition. You won’t need to plan out charging any batteries here, as the corded design allows you to simply plug it in and go. There are two included attachments that can be switched out, depending on what kind of job you are about to tackle, helping you to remove surface thatch while also digging deeper to clear out further thatch and aerate the soil for growth. It’s an easy model to maneuver as it weighs in at just 29 pounds, and also comes with three depth adjustment levels to fit your preference.

We’ve got a few other Greenworks deals on other lawn care and outdoor cleaning solutions worth checking out while the savings last:

Aiper HydroComm Smart Pool Monitor

Trade testing kits for Aiper’s solar-charging HydroComm 5-in-1 smart pool monitor at $400

Aiper’s official Amazon storefront is offering summertime savings on its new HydroComm Solar Smart Pool Monitor for $399.99 shipped. It hit the market back at the top of April, carrying a $500 price tag and is now 20% off. While we have seen it go for less than today’s deal previously, with summertime swim season ready to kick off, we wanted to make sure today’s $100 price drop was on your radar.

You can toss out those old-fashioned testing kits once you’ve picked up Aiper’s new HydroComm monitor, which sports an advanced detection head that provides 5-in-1 testing for your pool’s pH, ORP, EC, TDS, and temperature. What’s really great here is the built-in solar panel that allows for continuous 24/7 runtimes, guaranteeing you’ll always have any information you need, exactly when you need it. And don’t worry about those days when the sun hides away in the clouds, as you’ll be able to plug in to its DC port to keep it juiced up and going.

Another handy device that can equally serve you this summer is Aiper’s Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer that is down at its second-lowest rate of $339.98 shipped from its more recent $400 pricing. A second-generation model, there’s tons of great upgraded features packed in here, like the DebrisGuard anti-leak design, an improved brushless motor, expanded suction inlet, and a 150-micron filtration system. It has a solar panel mounted on its top side, which recharges the battery that delivers up to 35 hours of runtime, alongside a DC port for cloudy days. There are dual dToF sensors for obstacle avoidance here, alongside four retactable anti-standing columns to prevent it getting stuck on steps and elsewhere. It also comes with a full array of smart controls, letting you monitor and adjust settings, as well as manually steering it.

Best Spring EV 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.

Tesla becomes desperate with Cybertruck, launches biggest discount yet

Tesla becomes desperate with Cybertruck, launches biggest discount yet

Tesla Cybertruck sand

Tesla has announced that it now offers interest-free loans on the Cybertruck until the end of the month. The move is the equivalent of a roughly $10,000 discount and shows that Tesla has reached a new level of desperation in trying to sell the Cybertruck.

Following the unveiling of the Cybertruck in 2019, Tesla reported having accumulated over 1 million reservations for the highly anticipated electric pickup truck.

However, after launching the production version in 2023 at almost twice the price and with less range than previously announced, the vehicle program became a total flop.

Tesla had planned for a production capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year at Gigafactory Texas, and CEO Elon Musk said that he could see the automaker doubling to half a million trucks per year.

However, Tesla ended up having issues selling 40,000 Cybertrucks in its first year, and the delivery rate fell even further in 2025 with inventories piling up.

To address the demand issues, Tesla began throttling down production earlier this year and offering deeper discounts on its new vehicles.

Today, Tesla announced its biggest Cybertruck discount yet: 0% APR financing for those who order the truck with its $8,000 Full Self-Driving Package:

As we recently reported, Tesla has virtually given up on delivering Autopilot on Cybertrucks – pushing many buyers toward its more expensive FSD package.

Now, Tesla is doubling down on the strategy by subsidizing financing with FSD.

The automaker has already been offering 0% financing in Model 3 and cheaper financing on Model Y, but it is going to be quite costly on the more expensive Cybertruck.

At a cost of $88,000 (Cybertrcuk Dual Motor plus FSD), it should cost Tesla about $10,000 in loss revenue to subsidize the loans at the current rate.

Inventory trackers indicate that Tesla’s Cybertruck inventory in the US exceeds 3,700 units, valued at over $300 million.

The fact that Tesla is extending this offer only through June 30th points to the automaker trying to reduce its inventory by the end of the quarter.

Electrek’s Take

It looks like Tesla is delivering the Cybertruck at an annual rate of about 25,000 units in its second year of production – down from ~40,000 units in its first year.

There’s no way to put it nicely: this is a commercial flop.

It’s especially bad when you consider that Tesla prepared for a production of 250,000 units per year.

Let’s see how successful a 0% APR promotion is. I’m sure it would have a positive impact, but I doubt it will help increase the annualized rate to more than 30,000 units.

TSLA drops 14% as investors see corruption being priced out of Tesla stock

TSLA drops 14% as investors see corruption being priced out of Tesla stock

Tesla stock dropped over 50 points today, primarily in response to a very public feud between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and convicted felon Donald Trump.

But, as we pointed out in November, this doesn’t have anything to do with company performance, and rather only reflects a change in the market’s expectation of potential benefit to Tesla from government corruption.

Tesla stock has had a wild few months, with big rises and falls that has had little to do with company performance (which is, perhaps, nothing new for the stock, which has always been a speculative vehicle).

Much of the movement of TSLA has been centered around CEO Elon Musk’s relationship with Donald Trump.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

Musk very publicly supported Mr. Trump’s run for president, giving hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes to Mr. Trump’s campaign, despite the latter’s openly anti-EV positions (and despite that there exists a clear legal remedy stopping insurrectionists from holding office in the US).

Musk even went on to spew climate denying nonsense alongside Mr. Trump during the campaign, and later said nothing when Mr. Trump opposed the Paris Agreement, even though he previously opposed a similar move in 2017.

This led to Musk being invited into an advisory role, which was dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency despite it not being a real government department, and having a supposed mission redundant with the already-existing Government Accountability Office.

And in the immediate aftermath of the election, TSLA stock rose swiftly, purely because of expectations of corruption. But after that swift rise, it gradually fell as the reality of economy-destroying tariffs, anti-EV legislation, and Tesla’s brand perception problem due to Musk’s actions all became apparent. Despite Musk’s position as a top republican party donor, the party still seems more interested in catering to its traditional base in the fossil fuel industry.

Despite some recovery from that big post election rise-and-drop, TSLA took another big hit today, and it’s all due to the current rift forming between these two egomaniacs.

A rift over spending becomes something greater

During his tenure in his advisory position, Musk claims to have saved the government hundreds of billions of dollars, but independent accounting has shown that it is in fact likely to increase the deficit, not decrease it.

Nevertheless, it seems like Musk was fooled into believing his own propaganda, and into thinking that deficit reduction was ever a goal of Mr. Trump, despite that he previously oversaw the highest nominal deficit of any person in the history of the United States.

At least, he believed that until now. In the last few days, after leaving his advisory position, Musk has loudly opposed the new republican budget bill, which he now correctly points out will add trillions of dollars to the US deficit (as any lucid person might have predicted from the party of waste).

The criticism came to a head today, with Musk going through one of his patented tweetstorms, acting more like a jilted lover than a CEO in charge of a company that has many people’s retirement invested into it.

There’s been a lot of back and forth, but over the course of the day, Musk has posted many statements about how dangerous the budget bill will be for the US debt and deficit.

Mr. Trump responded, stating that Musk should have known these things before now, but that Musk is only acting this way because he cut the “EV mandate.”

To be clear, the bill in question does not cut any EV mandate, as there was never an EV mandate to begin with, but it does cut EV tax credits which Tesla has gained more benefit from than any other company, though Tesla lobbied in support of these cuts. The bill does not cut support for oil and gas companies, which are orders of magnitude higher than the support EV companies get.

In response to this, Musk claimed that he personally swung the election in favor of the republicans, and that Mr. Trump is showing “ingratitude” by not recognizing this fact.

Mr. Trump responded by suggesting that the government could save money by terminating all of the subsidies and contracts for services with Musk’s various companies. To this, Musk said that he would immediately decommission the Dragon capsule, which has been the main spacecraft used by NASA to service the International Space Station.

Then, Musk went on to state that a recession will happen in the second half of this year due to Mr. Trump’s position on tariffs, and also to accuse Mr. Trump of being on Jeffrey Epstein’s list (which is not the first time Musk has publicly accused someone of pedophilia, though it is the first time he’s said that about someone who he claimed to “love as much as any straight man can,” and knowingly worked alongside), and to agree with a call for his impeachment.

The market sees this as a negative sign

The public rift seems to have shaken the stock market out of its stupor, as Tesla went down more than 50 points since the start of today.

While nothing significant has changed for Tesla’s business today – it’s still suffering from falling sales in an otherwise rising market, and it still has a bad CEO – what has changed is the possibility of the company benefitting from corruption.

As I stated during TSLA’s meteoric post-election rise, the stock price was merely a reflection of the market’s expectation that Mr. Trump, a person with an enormous history of corruption, would thank Musk for his election participation by rewarding him and his companies. Nobody quite knew how that might happen, but everyone expected that it would.

I claimed, at the time, that this was unlikely to turn out the way the market thought it would, because the republicans would likely continue to favor fossil fuels, and that regulatory blockages were not the thing holding Tesla back from its automation goals.

Musk did attempt to use the government in corrupt ways, as detailed this week in a report by Senator Warren, and as we all remember from the White House Auto Mall infomercial (remember, folks, “everything’s computer!“).

But none of that was ever going to justify the addition of hundreds of billions of dollars to Tesla’s market cap.

The market seems to be realizing that more today, as over $100 billion has been shaved off of Tesla’s market cap since the start of the feud. That’s quite a lot of priced-in expected benefit that has been wiped away, all by a single tweetstorm.

Fight shows how vulnerable Tesla is to Musk’s whims

While it’s all well and good to see the worst two people you know fighting each other, and to finally see the inevitable fallout between two narcissists who frankly held out much longer than any reasonable person thought they would, this fight does show the significant vulnerability that Tesla has to the whims of a CEO who has shown poor ability to control his impulses in the past.

The last year or more has been highlighted by several poor business decisions by Musk, not the least of which is his support of one of the larger anti-EV entities on the planet right now.

But beyond the politics, his leadership has still been erratic for the company. Not only has he paid more attention to the many other companies he runs, when he has turned his attention to Tesla, it hasn’t been positive for the company.

After mostly ignoring Tesla for a few years, he went through a flurry of activity in the run-up to last year’s shareholder advisory vote on his compensation package. This flurry involved firing everyone including important leadership and successful teams, canceling an all-important affordable car project (and lying about it) and holding Tesla’s AI projects hostage while shifting both resources and staff from Tesla to his private AI company, even as he claims that AI is the future of Tesla.

Now, TSLA investors have another thing to worry about – whether Musk will continue to try to “poke the bear” and get more government opposition to his company, even as he continues to make himself distasteful globally (by, for example, showing support for German neo-Nazis, agreeing with a defense of Hitler’s actions in the Holocaust, or his many other white supremacist statements). These actions have driven protests against the company, embarrassed owners and pushed many customers away – and those protesters aren’t planning on stopping.

While some may cheer this new rift that has formed between Musk and one of the environment’s greatest enemies, Donald Trump, it seems unlikely that Musk’s erratic behavior will be beneficial for Tesla the company in the long run.

Musk’s feud with Trump and exit from DOGE are really bad for Dogecoin

Musk's feud with Trump and exit from DOGE are really bad for Dogecoin

Idrees Abbas | Lightrocket | Getty Images

It’s been a bad week for DOGE. And a really bad week for dogecoin.

The meme coin, which gained popularity in part because Elon Musk once dubbed it “the people’s crypto,” fell about 10% on Thursday and is down 22% over the past week. That drop corresponds with Musk’s official departure from the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was the centerpiece of his effort to radically downsize the federal government.

Musk and Trump had been sparring in recent days, with Musk slamming the president’s spending bill, and Trump withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a Musk ally, as his pick to run NASA.

But the war of words escalated dramatically on Thursday. After Trump said he was “very disappointed” in the Tesla CEO, Musk fired back on X, claiming Trump would have lost the election without his support.

Trump called Musk “CRAZY” and threatened to cancel his government contracts, sending shares of electric vehicle maker Tesla tumbling to close down 14% for the day.

Dogecoin and Tesla shares drop as Elon Musk beefs with the president.

Musk responded on X, “Go ahead, make my day.” He later said that following Trump’s comment about canceling contracts, his rocket company SpaceX “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.” Dragon is the only U.S. option for delivering crew to and from the International Space Station.

The spat wouldn’t necessarily have an impact on the price of dogecoin, which, like most meme coins, has no attached asset or underlying value. But it’s a particularly volatile coin that can move up or down based on consumer sentiment, celebrity hype, internet memes and Musk news.

Musk’s public backing of dogecoin has long been a major driver of its price, making it particularly sensitive to shifts in his political standing. The price jumped more than 15% on a single day in 2022 after Tesla began accepting the cryptocurrency as payment for some merchandise. The next year, dogecoin spiked more than 30% in a day after Musk replaced the blue bird on the Twitter (now X) website with an image of a shiba inu, the digital coin’s logo.

Dogecoin, along with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, soared after Trump’s election victory in November on optimism that the new administration, which was heavily backed by Musk and the crypto industry, would return the favor with friendly policies and deregulation.

Buyers of the coin are now paying the price for the Musk-Trump breakup.
