I think I saw this (or a clone) at the Costco in Burnaby yesterday for $60. Maybe check your local Costco if you are a member.

I have a Craftsman air inflator. It can run off a rechargable battery like the Milwaukee but it can also run off your 12v car power outlet and it can plug into a household AC plug. Doesn't seem like a big deal but it is.
It also has a high volume inflator side for pool toys and stuff.
It was $65 when I bought it.

dmd2005 already mentioned it, but this little Milwaukee compressor is awesome, I also cycle a lot and it works awesome for this too. I just wished it would work to blow up my SUP's.
I got this MasterCraft piece on sale (can't remember price, want to say $40). It does sealant as well, and they have these in stock for replacements (they can sort of expire though, don't stock up). I didn't want to do a lot of research and I know where I can find compatible sealant easily.
I've used it a lot (sealant function once) and it's just fine. Surprised to hear all the reports of the Tesla one failing and the MasterCraft cheapo is chugging along
The issues it has are mostly unclear (and contradictory) labelling/instructions, plus the included sealant bottle I have to manually pop the plug out to let the sealant flow. Otherwise it has served its purpose well. Cord is plenty long enough and it's never blown the 12V e-fuse.

My Model Y had a puncture, luckily I had a Tesla Mobile schedule. He pumped up my Y using a battery powered Milwaukee pump. It has digital screen. I was impressed.

I had the air hawk maybe 10 years ago and battery died with no replacement so will not buy again. I had a cheap 12v one on sale but when came time to use it I think it rusted after few years.
I was considering the milwaukee at around $100 as I'm a fan of the m12 fuel line.
I just bought the cordless dewalt inflator for $119 at home depot. It uses dewalt batteries, 12v car adapter, and even plug. Can inflate everything and it's automatic. .https://www.homedepot.ca/product/dewalt-20v-cordless-inflator/1001515188

I found this at Leaside Costco in Toronto if anyone is interested. The user manual says the battery lasts for 15 minutes on full charge, I don't know how that stacks up with the others.
Not everyone lives on the equator like you do. Farther away from it the temperatures go up and down far enough to require tire pressure adjustment.
I did try the air hawk from Costco and it just felt like a cheap piece of junk that I wouldn’t trust. I returned it..

I went and picked this one up, works really well. Set it to 45 PSI and done. Very accurate
Picked up the Air Hawk from COSTCO and its amazing, love that you can set up the end point pressure when inflating and it automatically stops once reached, I would recommend it based on my experience so far
https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ryobi-18v-one-dual-function-cordless-inflator-deflator-tool-only-/1001420717Despite the link, at the moment it comes with a battery and charger for $59.99

This is a great deal if you have other Ryobi tools, but it doesn't appear it can be powered by the car in case the battery is flat or insufficient due to being discharged over time.
When I was shopping for a tire inflator, I wanted something that could be powered by the 12V accessory socket. In my research, I found that the Model 3 socket is "suitable for accessories requiring up to 12A continuous draw (16A peak)" (taken from the manual). Most compressors I found were rated at 15A - and who knows how high the draw might be at startup, or if the ratings are accurate. To be safe and not risk blowing a fuse, I opted for a pump rated at 12A:

It has served me well over the past year (used it a lot due to some tire pressure issues I was experiencing). It is super compact but is fairly slow and loud (like most compressors). Also easy on the wallet. I would recommend it for top-ups but probably not for inflating from empty.
