Toss in a spare tire, too. I care to do without! It's several thousand dollars. Signed, annoyed owner of a car with a fix-it-kit and a pat on the ass

without a spare tire, every flat I've gotten is a giant unplanned waste of time (min was 4 hours)

Last flat I had, there was a giant Allen wrench stuck in the tire and it was rapidly leaking.

Filled it back up as much as I could with the included inflator kit, took it a big box store, they patched it up and was on my way.

Took maybe an hour total out of my day? No $ cost to me (under tire warranty)

Teslas don't come with an inflator. sigh.

(and if you get one + slime stuff, you will kill the TPMS and have to buy a new one)

Weird, I have TPMS and it still works fine. I don’t have a Tesla though. Didn’t use slime though.
