I am getting my CT tomorrow and very exited to plan a road trip during 4th of July weekend. One thing worries me is the truck does not have a spare tire so I am looking for some repair kit.

I know there is a CT specified, expensive kit coming in late 2024, but I also see this one on Tesla website. Can I still use this cheaper version? I know I have to have an adaptor for 12V.

Is there any other repair kit recommend for tire? All my previous cars has spare tire or run-flat, so looking for advices here. Thanks in advance!

I bought this well-reviewed patch kit:

I've already used it, but not on the Cybertruck hahahaha. Plugged a nail puncture well, didn't even need to jack it or remove the tire.

I have one of these in each of my MYLR's, and just moved one to my CT. I've plugged a few nail/screw holes over the last four years. The plugs work great.

I wish the case were a bit smaller. I might try throwing all the supplies into a small bag of some kind, but I never think about it until I have to use the kit, which is rare, haha!!

The Tesla kit is just a small tire inflator and a can of "fix-a-flat" sealant - making it limited in scope and well over-priced for what you receive. If you use the sealant, it will require the TPMS sensor in the wheel be replaced.

I see a couple of posts already give you good options on a patch kit. Couple that with a tire inflator and you should be good to go.
