Which didnāt work for you, and wouldnāt in most tire repair scenarios. Tire repairs kits are good only for self-delusion, peace of mind, and the rare puncture event. Your outcome is illustrative.
Compressor details please.... It fits in that space so well I want one.
This is my set up. Will get you out of nearly any Tire failure without having to carry the added weight of a jack and full-size Spare. Maybe after the warranty has expired will I go with aftermarket rims and 37s and carry a full size spare but even then I think Iāll stick with this lower weight smaller form factor option. Iāve never had a Tire failure Offroad where I needed a full size spare; just punctures, failed valve stems or sidewall cuts where this kit would have sufficed to get home. I should probably add a can of Starting Fluid to re-seat a Bead during air downed off road situations.

A spare adds weight and takes up a lot of space. Tire plug kit and plug in portable air compressor is the answer. That's why we don't like your smart ass response.
Awesome, thanks.
OK, I stand corrected.
Iāve carried a Full Size spare and HiLift Jack on all my trucks for years and never been in a situation where I really needed it. If I was going to willfully put myself into sketchy terrain and push the CyberBeast then I would consider carrying a Full Size spare but that wonāt happen until the warranty expires. So for now a compressor, plug, patch and spare valve stems will cover 99.99% of what I anticipate without the added weight, drag or loss of bed space. Everyone has a different use case and should prepare accordingly.
I don't think Tesla pays for any road hazards to your tire, it's specifically not a warrantied item.
That is, of course, true. But neither does AAA or any other roadside assistance. You can buy a $250 tire policy from Tesla but thatās not good insurance - first you are stuck with Tesla making the remedy unless they decline, and second, the chances of payoff are worse than the lottery. All aftermarket warranties are essentially the house betting against you.
Iād rather be self reliant and save time by just fixing 99.99% of flats and get on my way instead of waiting forever, looking like an idiot on the side of the road that doesnāt know how to turn a wrench.
It is not 100%. Have you ever tried to remove Tesla wheel bolts? Or torque them to 129 ft-lbs.? I have done so multiple times to install accessories like a tow hitch on an MS. Cannot be done under normal roadside circumstances by a normal driver.
You CANNOT fix 99% of Tesla flats on the roadside. Impossible. Maybe 20-25% are susceptible to pug/slime/inflate kits. The rest are beyond self-help unless you carry a tire repair shop system and a huge unwieldy spare. I know how to turn a wrench, have self-supported around the world by motorcycle twice, and Alaska to Argentina twice. I wrench my antique cars, change lots of tires, have a lift and a tire changer.
