What we love
This is not just a power bar, but rather one you neatly affix to a a wall outlet to expand its capabilities with 6 outlets, 300J surge protection, 2 USB-C ports, and 2 legacy USB-A ports. I really like how neat and cable-free something like this can be in a workspace or game room.

Read MoreTesla Cybertruck Powershare finally backs up homes with a Powerwall 3
Tesla’s Cybertruck Powershare feature can now back up your home at the same time as a Powerwall 3, the company announced Thursday. Run together, the truck and the battery add more than three days of backup power, which Tesla says is the equivalent of nine extra Powerwalls.
It’s a feature Tesla first promised for 2025, and it’s showing up nearly two years after Cybertruck deliveries began. But it finally closes one of Powershare’s most annoying gaps.
Read MoreTesla Autopilot was on in I-35 crash that killed its driver
A 2024 Tesla Model Y ran off Interstate 35 in rural Missouri, struck a guardrail, and killed its driver, a 64-year-old woman from Raymore. Troopers reported a single-vehicle wreck and said the car “went off the road.”
What they didn’t say, and likely didn’t know, is that Tesla’s own report to federal regulators says the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. This is part of an ongoing Electrek investigation matching reported crashes to Tesla’s redacted NHTSA data.

Look, no offense to Apple Vision Pro. I’m sure Apple Vision Pro is a very nice person. But iPhone Duo and Apple Vision Pro are not the same.
There’s a take that the iPhone Duo may have the Apple Vision Pro problem. The idea is that due to its price and device-specific software, it may be a miss and not a hit. The two things are not the same.
