This tire inflator can save your day, and it's 80% off for Amazon's Spring Sale
As an automotive journalist for over a decade, I enjoyed some pretty great perks — like driving a new test car home every night. That also meant my car sat in the garage with my tires slowly deflating. Then I realized, instead of spending my lunch break filling up my tires, I could get a tire inflator — like this Dormzie portable tire inflator, on sale for just $40 during Amazon's Spring Sale.
Marked down from $200 to just $40 (that's 80% off!) for Prime members with the on-page code, this cordless tire inflator is a no-brainer — especially if you've ever been stranded with a flat. It's compact, rechargeable and powerful enough to top off car, bike and even motorcycle tires. Forget heading to the gas station or finding a power outlet.
There's never a good time for a flat tire, but they always seem to happen at the absolute worst moment. That's where the portability of this tire inflator shines. It doesn't take up much room and, once you've charged the battery, it's ready to go whenever you need it. The built-in nozzle and hose storage will also keep everything organized when it isn't in use.
It's also fast, so you won't be waiting around forever for your tires to be filled, whether you drive a motorcycle, small car or a truck. It can also pump out an impressive amount of air pressure — up to 150 PSI — and comes with valves for your bikes, an inflator nozzle for everything from pool toys to rafts, and a needle for all of the balls in your garage.
Going on a road trip and need to pack up before you leave? The Dormzie has an auto shut-off, allowing you to walk away while it's working. It features five PSI memory presets — including one you can customize — so you won't have to reset the shut-off pressure every time you switch between your car, bike or basketball.
Over 200 reviewers have given this inflator a five-star rating.
Portability was a huge draw for a lot of happy customers, including this cyclist: "I purchased this great little tire inflator to use on my bikes. It is lightweight and easy to use. It fits into my bike bag that sits on the rear of my bike. It worked like a charm the first time and only took a few seconds! I was pleasantly surprised [by] how easy it is to use."
"This is perfect! I have a slow leak in one of my tires and now I don't have to go to a pay-for-air machine to fill it up when needed!" marveled a five-star motorist. "I did it right in the convenience of my garage! It's quick, accurate and inflates perfectly. We didn't have to charge it between cars and it still has lots of battery life on it."
One reviewer bought this even when they already had an air compressor in their garage because it was so portable. "I do have an air compressor in my garage, but this battery-operated inflator makes putting air into vehicle tires so much easier and much more convenient! No more pulling/dragging an air hose to fill tires."
This item is so new, it doesn't have too many negative reviews. One buyer found that it "didn't easily fit between bicycle spokes," though others have used it on their bikes without issue.
Another five-star reviewer talked about the volume being the only downside. "It's not quiet, but not a problem unless you're in a house and everyone is sleeping and you're trying to fill up an air mattress (which this could do with all the attachments)."
The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Amazon Ditches Kia Trial and Goes Back to Gig Workers for Deliveries
Gig workers have got their gig back at U.S. tech giant Amazon (AMZN) after it ditched a two year long delivery experiment. Confident Investing Starts Here: Car Plan Scrapped Amazon has, according to Bloomberg, scrapped a trial where contract delivery firms in several US states deployed drivers for four- or five-hours shifts in boxy little Kia Corp. hatchback cars. Amazon hoped that the trial, which began to roll out in 2023 in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas and Washington, would give it more control of deliveries and reduce its reliance on Flex drivers. These are people who use their own cars to deliver orders to customers' homes. These gig economy workers will now once again get behind the wheel. Reportedly owners of the participating Delivery Service Partners, as Amazon calls its contract delivery firms, were recently notified that the quick-delivery program will be winding down over the next few months. 'After more than a year of gathering feedback from customers, DSPs, and teams at Same-Day Delivery facilities, we've determined that the DSP model isn't currently the right fit for Same-Day Delivery and we'll be moving away from it,' Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said. 'We appreciate the contributions from participating DSPs and their teams, and we'll provide support throughout this transition.' Speed Need Kelly said the affected DSPs can operate other Amazon routes. These DSPs lease blue Amazon Prime-branded vans and employ the drivers, who might deliver 200 or more packages a day. Flex drivers opt in via a smartphone app and typically deliver packages from Amazon's same-day delivery depots. (WMT) and Target (TGT). It recently announced plans to invest up to $4 billion to expand its rural delivery network by 2026. Is AMZN a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, AMZN has a Strong Buy consensus based on 46 Buy and 1 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $305. AMZN stock's consensus price target is $241.64 implying a 15.13% upside.

Tesla is set to launch its robotaxi service in Austin this weekend, entering a crowded autonomous vehicle field
The launch of Tesla's robotaxi service is tentatively set for this weekend in Austin, Texas, entering a crowded arena of autonomous vehicles already operating in the city. Tesla is competing with driverless Waymo taxis that are already transporting people around the city, while Amazon's Zoox and Volkswagen are testing robotaxis there too. Tesla's driverless taxi service launch has been highly anticipated by investors and fans, however, officials and lawmakers have expressed automotive safety concerns. On Wednesday, Texas lawmakers sent a letter to Tesla urging the company to delay its robotaxi service launch until September, when a new state law regulating autonomous vehicles takes effect. It adds to another letter, sent by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to Tesla last month, asking for additional safety information about its robotaxi rollout. That same month, Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, acknowledged the need for national regulations around autonomous vehicles. 'It's going to be important to have a unified set of national regulations for self-driving cars,' he told CNBC. 'Otherwise, you're going to get into this weird situation where, if you're driving from Maine to New York, you're going to go through 10 different sets of regulations. Cars are going to behave differently. It's not going to make any sense.' Here's what we know about the driverless service set to launch this weekend. For the initial launch of the fully autonomous ride-hailing robotaxi service, Tesla will use its internal fleet of Model Y electric vehicles, updated with the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, without a driver. If the autonomous cars run into a safety issue, a remote driver can step in and take control of the vehicle. The Cybercab is Tesla's driverless taxi that will also rely on the FSD software without a human driving the vehicle. The initial launch of Tesla's robotaxi service won't include the Cybercab because it isn't expected to go into production until at least 2026. Musk says each Cybercab will likely cost less than $30,000 to produce. The fully autonomous vehicle won't have a steering wheel or pedals and will have a large center touchscreen. The two-passenger vehicle won't have a backseat or a rear window but will have a rear cargo area. Musk says it won't have a traditional charging port and will rely on inductive (wireless) charging, which will charge by parking over a pad embedded in a designated charging area. Musk said earlier this year that the service would launch sometime in June. Bloomberg News then reported the launch was poised to happen on June 12, citing a person familiar with the matter. Two days before the anticipated launch, Musk reposted a video on X that showed Tesla testing a self-driving Model Y car in Austin, with what appeared to be no driver. Later that day, Musk replied to a user on X that the tentative rollout of the robotaxi service was June 22. 'We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift,' Musk said. He also indicated that the first driverless trip from the Tesla factory to a customer's house will take place on June 28, which is the billionaire's birthday. The letter that Texas Democratic lawmakers sent Wednesday to Tesla's director of field quality urged the company to delay the robotaxi service launch until a new Texas law takes effect, on Sept. 1. The law revises previous state guidelines for autonomous vehicles and requires the operators to receive prior authorization from the Department of Motor Vehicles. The letter states that in order to get that authorization, Tesla needs to show: that the vehicles can operate while abiding by state traffic laws, have a recording device, comply with federal standards, are properly registered and insured, and can 'achieve a minimal risk condition' if the autonomous system stops working. The Texas lawmakers asked the company to provide 'detailed information demonstrating that Tesla will be compliant with the new law upon the launch of driverless operations in Austin' if they decide to proceed with the launch over the weekend. Yahoo News has reached out to Tesla for comment. In addition to the Model Y taxis being remotely monitored at first, Musk told CNBC that the vehicles will also be 'geofenced' to certain areas of Austin that Tesla considers the safest to navigate. 'We want to deliberately take it slow,' Musk said. 'I mean, we could start with 1,000 or 10,000 [robotaxis] on day one, but I don't think that would be prudent. So we will start with probably 10 for a week, then increase it to 20, 30, 40.' For the initial launch, the robotaxi service is expected to only be available to Tesla employees or by invite. 'The service will probably not be available to the general public for several months, analysts said,' according to the New York Times. Musk says he hopes to have by the end of 2026 'over a million Teslas' doing 'unsupervised full self-driving, where you do not need to pay attention.' Musk had originally promised in 2019 that there would be 1 million self-driving robotaxis on the road by 2020.

This Options Tool Can Show You How to Trade Tesla Stock Ahead of Robotaxi Day
Tesla's (TSLA) long-awaited Robotaxi launch is finally happening on June 22 in Austin, Texas. CEO Elon Musk is expected to unveil the Cybercab — Tesla's first fully autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or brake pedals. It's a bold move that could ignite Tesla's next wave of growth… or leave an opening for fast-rising competitors to take the lead. While this headline moment dominates the news cycle, investors shouldn't ignore the rest of the autonomous vehicle (AV) playing field. Companies like Amazon's (AMZN) Zoox, Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Waymo, Uber (UBER), Nvidia (NVDA), WeRide (WRD), Innoviz (INVZ), and Aeva (AEVA) are also moving rapidly into the self-driving car arena — and some of their stocks are already heating up. Unusually Active Put Options Signal Long Straddle Opportunity After Zoetis Downgrade Amazon Ratio Spread Targets A Profit Zone Between 190 and 200 This Options Tool Can Show You How to Trade Tesla Stock Ahead of Robotaxi Day Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Tesla's Cybercab isn't just a new vehicle; it's a fully autonomous, driverless platform aimed at revolutionizing mobility. The June 22 event marks a critical milestone for Tesla's artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap, and investors are watching closely for product details and updates on federal approvals. Even better? Tesla just received a regulatory boost from the Trump administration, which plans to fast-track approvals for autonomous vehicles without traditional controls — a perfect fit for Tesla's Cybercab design. Amazon is building a 220,000 square foot robotaxi factory in California to produce up to 10,000 autonomous vehicles a year through its Zoox acquisition. Uber, in partnership with Volkswagen (VWAGY), is bringing driverless vans to U.S. streets — starting in Los Angeles with commercial launch by 2026. Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, is already one of the most established names in autonomous driving. And Nvidia-backed WeRide just scored a major partnership with Tencent (TCEHY) and is expanding across Asia and Europe. Stocks like Innoviz (INVZ) and AEVA Technologies (AEVA) are getting attention for their advanced LiDAR systems and recent deal activity. AEVA, in particular, has surged over 400% in 2025, and both stocks currently hold a 'Buy' signal on Barchart's Opinion indicators. Barchart's Gamma Exposure Tool shows a key setup for traders: Large positive gamma spike at $330 Negative gamma clusters starting at $315 Gamma Flip turns negative at $308 This setup suggests we could see more volatility in TSLA stock as we approach the June 22 event — especially if price action challenges these levels. While TSLA is in focus right now, the bigger story isn't about just Tesla anymore. With massive capital flowing into robotaxis, quantum AI, and autonomous driving, the next wave of winners could come from anywhere in the supply chain — not just the top dogs.
