    So my garage door frame glass shattered and i somehow ran over a shard of glass (I think) and now my left rear tire is leaking air slowly.
    Any recommendations on a place that will plug the leak that knows about Teslas?

    I had a nail in my M3 tire last year and took it to Lex Brodies on Queen St. No issues or problems. I got lucky that the nail was "patchable" since it was in the center of the tread.

    well poop. a $35 patch turned into a $350 tire replacement. they said the sidewall was damaged.
    at some point they locked the keycard in the car and i had to unlock it.
    they did not seem too familiar with teslas.

    I was gonna say, glass won't make it through the tred, but will certainly through the sidewall. o_O
