Need Portable Air compressor options/recommendations for Model S refresh LR

[Roamingsanjay]

Any recommendations for these? I have an old portable unit I used with my Chevy Bolt but I don’t see any cigarette Lighter port I can plug that into in my Model S refresh car (is there one??).

I bought at Home Depot: RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless High Pressure Inflator with Digital Gauge

works great

Is it no longer below and in front of the center armrests? At the back of the bottom tray? Can I assume you already checked the owner's manual?

Dewalt 120V AC, 12V DC, 20V battery, corded/cordless inflator. Excellent, but expensive especially with a battery. Good for much more than just the car, but I leave mine in the deep trunk.

Your Model S Refresh has a power socket located in the center consoles' rear compartment. I carry this compressor and tire flat kit in my trunk. Amazon

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy this piece of junk!
I bought it in 2020, and 10 months later when I needed to use it, it crapped out ten seconds into me trying to inflate my tire. And never worked again.

Seems like a great way to flush $20 down the drain.

I looked again this morning, don’t see one anywhere unless it’s very cleverly hidden somewhere. And search in manual yields no results for it.

There's nothing wrong with the Tesla tire kit with compressor, and sealant. Nice case and fits well in the side pocket in the trunk with velcro patch on the case.

Wish the store in the App had a search function guess I’ll try on the web and see if I can find there

Looks good but wish could recharge battery (while on road) using USB Since I don’t seem to have or can’t find the cigarette lighter socket. Does your Plaid have one??

All Model S LR have them, here is a diagram straight from the owners manual.

Those smaller units with digital gauges work great for adding a few pounds to up a few pounds of lost air pressure. Not sure how well they would work on a flat tire with a plug or whatever else one may use to as a temp fix. Would have been a nice feature if Tesla had an available hose connector to allow us to feed off of the air suspension in an emergency.

Found it! Thanks! Like an idiot I was looking for a “naked” socket and i was using 12V socket as my search string in the manual, of course it’s not listed as such in my manual.

Listed as low voltage power socket in my manual - kept searching for 12V socket . Thanks for your help

Got it today.
Pretty good tool! battery can be charged via 12v, 110v or USB-A. decent options.
Quickly tested, not to much loud, bicycle tires inflates immediately. Going to try cars tomorrow.
I got 10% discount via coupon, so for $58 +tax = nice deal.

Feedbacks on amazon mostly positive.

 

[Roamingsanjay]

Oh nice battery charging flexibility for sure! And good to see higher pressure is not an issue either.

I used the one I already have for my Chevy Bolt to “top up” the tires on my Tesla this morning. Thanks again for your help.
