A flat or low tire always seems to show up at the worst possible time. A compact compressor you can keep in the trunk solves most of that stress in a couple of minutes. The NEXPOW portable tire inflator and air compressor is now $49.99 at Walmart, down from $148.99, so you save $99 on a tool that can bail you out at home, on road trips, or in a parking lot.

What You’re Getting

This unit is a cordless air compressor built for car tires, but it also works for motorcycles, bikes, and sports gear. It has a built-in rechargeable battery, so you can top up a tire without digging for outlets or stretching a cable across the driveway. When you do need backup, it also includes a 12V DC adapter for your car.

Key features include:

  • Up to 160 PSI of pressure
  • A digital pressure gauge with an easy-to-read LCD
  • Multiple nozzle attachments for different valves and inflatables
  • An integrated LED light for night or roadside use

You set your target pressure, connect the hose, and let it run. The digital display lets you keep an eye on the progress without guessing.

Why It’s Worth It

The big advantage here is convenience. Instead of finding a gas station with a working air pump, digging for quarters, and rushing against a timer, you can just plug this into the tire and handle it on your schedule. For anyone who drives a lot, has kids in sports, or likes to keep bike tires dialed in, it quickly becomes a “nice to have” that turns into a “how did I not have this earlier?”

The cordless design and rechargeable battery mean you can also throw it in a trunk or gear bin and forget about it until you need it. The digital gauge is a big step up from the old pen-style gauges, and having everything in one compact unit keeps the whole process simple.

At $49.99, with $99 in savings off the previous price, it hits a good balance: expensive enough to be reliable, but cheap enough to justify as a just-in-case upgrade for your car.

The Bottom Line

If you want to stop relying on sketchy gas station pumps and keep your tires in shape on your own terms, this NEXPOW portable tire inflator and air compressor is a smart grab at $49.99. With a rechargeable battery, 12V backup, up to 160 PSI, and multiple nozzles, it covers most everyday inflation jobs without much fuss.

Jaguar’s outrageous concept wasn’t a bluff. The Type 01 is very real
Jaguar got its wildest concept car all the way to production
Jaguar Type-01 Featured

Jaguar has officially revealed the Type-01, its first production model based on the new Jaguar Electric Architecture, and it carries over a lot of the visuals first shown by the controversial Type 00 concept in 2024. Jaguar is sticking with the low roofline, extremely long bonnet, extended rear proportions, and enormous 23-inch wheels.

This electric grand tourer definitely doesn't take a more conventional route. Jaguar calls the Type 01 the first production car built around its “exuberant modernist” philosophy. Whatever you think of the terminology, the company meant it when it said the Type 00 was a preview rather than a design exercise.

Spooky season finally gets its own software update.
Ice, Nature, Outdoors

I never thought I'd type this sentence, but your Tesla can now wear a ghost costume, virtually.

Halloween Mode, part of software update 2026.38.3, began rolling out on October 6. It basically turns the central touchscreen into a graveyard, the lights into a haunted show, and the car into what might look like a very expensive jump scare.

Forget plugging in; now electric vehicles will be able to juice up using their tyres
Electric buses just found a way to charge while taking a breather

Electric buses have solved one problem and created another. They no longer need diesel, but they do need enormous batteries, powerful charging infrastructure and a fair amount of time plugged into the grid.

A Swiss startup called Winduction is trying to change that with a rather clever idea: charge the bus through its wheels.
