We'll see how Tesla roadside assistance works. Fortunately, I have an air compressor, so I was able to put air back in the tire and get home. Waiting on the roadside assistance folks right now.

Why do you need roadside assistance if you've already made it home

Because the tire has a slow leak. Gotta get that fixed somehow.

Why don't they use electric tires? Isn't tesla supposed to be on the cutting edge?

That would be awesome. They could just constantly keep themselves at the proper air pressure instead of the air pressure just fluctuating with the temperature.

This air compressor was a great purchase. If I didn't have that, I would have been stuck until they arrived.

You don't want run flats anyways. Godawful tires.

Hopefully they patch it up well. If not most tire shops are more than capable.

He was humble bragging about how he invested his small amount first stimulus check and probably wouldn't get another because he made too much money earlier haha.

What? I feel like me talking about my life is just gonna be considered "humble bragging" by some folks. It's not humble bragging. It's just me bringing up things happening in my daily life or adding to a conversation.

I've heard a few different reasons for no spares in Teslas.
  • They intended to give the max amount of storage space possible in the rear trunk, so they didn't include it
  • A spare tire would add weight and reduce range
  • The car is too heavy and Tesla doesn't want people changing tires on their own


I don't buy the 3rd one because they sell winter tires that people can swap in as necessary, and I've seen videos of people swapping their tires on their own.

There are few things more despised in the automotive technician world than working on a tire and wheel filled with slime lol. It solidifies in most small leaks, but the rest of the liquid sloshes around in the tire until it's replaced.

Something silly AF about a 'loaner wheel' to me.
