    Flat Tire With No Cell Service?

    I asked my local Tesla service location and they didn’t have an answer. Sometimes I make trips where there isn’t cell service and worried about getting a possible flat, and since the model y doesn’t have a spare it was a bit of a worry. I asked if you could use the cars service section with...

    Got a flat tire in Tijuana, Mexico

    I drove my 2022 Model 3 Performance to Tijuana last week, something I have done on at least 6 other occasions without incident. I always drive much slower and cautiously in TJ due to the bad roads (seriously the worst roads that I’ve seen in any part of the world, potholes and even chunks of...

Any recommendations for a new front wheel which I could use front or back? i don't care if it matches, cheap steel preferred. I would be just for the driving back to a tire place. I...

    Any issue with mixing non-OEM Pilot Sport 4S tires?

    I got a puncture in one of my M3P's rear tires, and because I didn't know any better, I plugged it on the spot (rope-style plug) rather than towing to a repair shop. Now I find that no one will do a more permanent patch & plug now that I've done that, so I'm stuck either hoping the plug holds...

    Thoughts on carrying a tire patch kit instead of

    So I know that using slime stuff is bad idea due to the sensors in the wheel. Even the Fix-A-Flat sold by Tesla says that TPMS has to be replaced if used. And I dont want to buy a spare to carry around. I think a small patch kit is a perfect balance, it may take a while to get it patched, but...
