Right behind that, we have a pre-launch deal through June 1 that gives you a coupon to score Anker’s upcoming SOLIX S2000 Portable Power Station at $599 once it launches (over the general $680 deal price). From there, we spotted a rare chance to pick up the EGO Power+ 2,100 PSI Electric Pressure Washer with a 6.0Ah battery at its $449 low, as well as Hiboy’s 40-mile travelling S2 Max Electric Scooter at $495 ($95 less than its direct sale pricing), Aiper’s IrriSense 2 smart irrigation system at a new low, an EGO 15-inch cordless electric string trimmer deal, and more waiting for you below. And don’t forget about the hangover deals at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s launch bundle deals on the new Juiced Scrambler and Lectric XPress2 e-bikes, the latest EcoFlow flash sale offers that are ending tonight, and more.
Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

The legal language in SpaceX’s own filing reveals that both Terafab and Macrohard — the two major joint projects between Tesla and SpaceX — are in “very early stages” with no financial terms, no intellectual property rights, and no binding commitments finalized.
