Preparing in advance. I have a bad history with flat tires. I've had many in my past, and none have been repairable. (Feel free to judge my driving.) My old car has a full size spare wheel/tire, which was very convenient. It seems that when you call Tesla's roadside service for a flat, they're most likely to just tow you, which is no good. Some questions:
1) Has anyone purchased this for their trunk? 2017-2019 Tesla Model 3 Complete Kit - Carrying Case Included - Modern Spare Would you recommend? How many miles can you drive on a spare like this?
2) I would still need roadside assistance, because I'm not changing the tire myself, I just want to avoid being towed. I have AAA. If/when this happens, am I better to call Tesla's roadside service first or AAA? I haven't heard good things about Tesla's response time, whereas AAA is pretty reliably 30-45 minutes here (LA). Would AAA know how to properly jack up the car with the equipment included in that spare tire kit?
Thanks!
