A couple slow leak punctures but no catastrophic flats requiring breaking out a jack and a spare tire.
There really is a solid argument that if you have tire pressure readouts on your dash, you do not need a spare. The readout enables you to see the beginning phase of a flat and go to a repair shop before the big blowout.

This has happened to me in the last 10 years with F150, maybe a dozen times. The F150 is around construction sites a lot and it does pick up nails. (Actually, it seems to prefer screws). What I'm typically seeing these days is crank-up in the morning, three tires at 42 and one at 36. Later in the day that one is at 32.

What does one conclude?

Or maybe battery expansion space for the 800 mile range. 🍰

Is it really just that one single gang box? That's kind of whimpy for a work truck. The lighting has 2 120/20A and 1 240/30A in the bed. Also, with that nice 3-5 gal. air tank you would definitely think we would be seeing some kind of compressor outlet. I get Tesla may be keeping things close to the vest but they also have this thing where the designers get all spiritual about minimalism and "intuitiveness" that they are completely out of touch with utility and with utility more well designed features is better. I have been rehabbing a rental unit and I am parked 20 feet away from the front door with my truck. Its not fun to pull the compressor out of the trailer to do simple stuff and having an onboard compressor with a 30 ft hose on a concealed retractable reel would be a huge selling point to me.
