I used to have a Buick that had an auto leveling rear air shock system. GM thoughtfully provided a little panel in the rear of the car with an on/off switch for the air pump, and a Schrader valve. You could use it with a (provided) air hose to inflate tires, air mattresses, sports equipment, etc. It was really handy. Kind of a miss on Teslas part to not do similar. Maybe on the Cybertruck...

Tesla was selling a "Tire Repair Kit" for $70. I picked one up to keep in the frunk. Looks like it's out of stock, but there are other kits out there like this. Decent part of a self-sufficient backup plan.
Don't you need a can of Fix-a-Tire to plug the leak first. Otherwise, air will leak out in no time?

I guest I’m older than you think how about over 73 ? That’s it no more telling my age
However thanks for help but no one guess out my question? Ok I have this 12 volt light kit I would plug in my 08 Ford Taurus limited
Give me light where ever I twisted it. Come you younger guys I admire ? Do I need to auction car off
Oh about the flat issue? I it happens i call UBER. Thanks all fun
HELP

It's a lot of waste as stats show around 80%+ of spire tires and tools are never used in traditional vehicles. One reason why most are doing away with it. Cellular service now reaches most places. You can get a spare kit from the modernspare but I sort of am regretting my purchase. It's big bulky, takes up 1/2 the trunk. A blowout is usually caused by you hitting something sharp anyway. Slow leaks you'll manage fine with a pump from my 7k road trip or stopping in a tire shop with $20.

Saw a video with a cooler plugged into a 12 volt socket in the trunk of a MY. I can see that my 2022 MX has only one 12 volt socket (cigarette lighter type) and it’s in the front console. So far I’ve only been able to put my refrigerated cooler in the front passenger seat foot well or in the 2nd row passenger foot well. You’d of thought that one would be in an SUV vehicle like the Mx, another one in the trunk. Any suggestions on how to get the cooler into the trunk area ?
See post #36 in this thread. 12V Access: Model S 2021 Refresh I've wired the exact same setup in my MSLR and it is convenient.
Well beyond my ability but I’ll keep it in mind and see if the customizing shop that applied PPF can do something. I think they certainly can since they do other fancy electrical stuff to customize cars.

May I have this dance?
Most people don't seem to relate to the fact that every thing you put in the car, affects the range. This includes the big lounger car seats & minuscule items such as wiring & optional switches & dials - Plus, big heavy spare tires!
Tesla has been cutting back on the weight of the newer cars & redesigning components in the never ending quest for weight reduction and efficiency

I thought it was RTFAFM, but I digress.
One could also get one of these, and wheel your way to the nearest tire shop:
