Official Tesla Tire Inflater?

[snowthewitch]

I swear I've seen people reference there being an official tesla tire inflater, but I can't seem to find it on their site. Has it been discontinued?

Nothing special about it (other than the branding)

You probably can find a similar kit at the local Napa, for a lot less.

Discontinued due to supply issues - there is a thread on here somewhere.

Tire Repair Kit no longer on website?

Does Tesla not sell the Tire Repair Kit anymore? The only thing I can find is the sealant but only under Model S and X vehicle accessories.

Here is the thread I was thinking about

Darn, thanks for linking that. I know it's more pricey than the generic, but I've been opting for the Tesla branded stuff, wall charger, etc.

With you on the opting for Tesla branded stuff - have the wall charger as well. Definitely going to need a tire repair kit of some kind, just for the peace of mind. Have not had a flat in 20 years but you know how that goes

The wall charger isn’t “Tesla branded” it’s made only by/for Tesla.

The tire repair kit is 100% generic with a Tesla logo slapped on it. There is a big difference.

Fair point. Okay, then any recommendations for a quality nice looking one? Probably going to keep it in the frunk but primarily fill up in the garage.

Best Tire Inflator Help Needed

I have gone thru 3 portable tire inflators so far and all three have failed in less than a year. I keep a portable one in my Frunk but I use it often for several vehicles so they do get used but they don't really seem to last very long when used. So I am now trying to find a more durable one...

Amazon must have hundreds of options.

Yes, something like that is actually effective at adding air to car tires.

I’ve got a ton of experience trough years of off roading, airing down and up and repairing tires on the trail. With the model 3 I have a VIAIR 400p and a can of fix a flat in the lower rear trunk. I already had the 400p for use in my 200 series prior to putting ARB onboard air. Probably could get away with a smaller ones like the 90p for a car tire. Something to consider, if you brake the bead the higher air volume output compressor the better.

I’ve good luck with VIAIR compressors over the years and they tend to be well liked in the off road crowds.

For garage fills can’t beat a compressor with a tank. I got this cordless 2.5 gallon last fall To keep in my camper. For small jobs like tires It functions as well as my 6 gallon. Impractical for keeping in the car but great for the garage.
