Yes, but I save that for remote flats.Have you purchased the Tesla tyre repair kit
Yowser, that’s ridiculous that such a seemingly innocuous pothole (I had a lot of trouble even seeing it in the video) could kill 2 tyres so fast. When you hit the pothole did it feel really bad?
I’ve never understood the attraction of low-profile tyres for exactly this reason.
Hmmm.... I would use it if I needed it just to save on the hassle of waiting for towing etc. You can buy goop refills for $37, you don’t need to buy an entirely new kit once you’ve used it.Yes, but I save that for remote flats.

On very few occasions has a tyre place I’ve visited been happy to repair a puncture - they almost always have insisted on replacement. Perhaps I have been unlucky with the types of punctures I’ve had.Well, not so fast! When I bought my tyre repair kit from Tesla, the service assistant explicitly told me that the tyre would need to be replaced if I used it. He said they can't be repaired if that goop is used. So I reckon I might wait for a tow truck as well, unless I'm out bush somewhere.
Note, I'm not saying that guy was right, I'm just saying I'm going to be cautious unless I hear otherwise as I have no experience of this stuff. All my previous cars have had a spare.
One of the tyres on my car has been repaired four times - no problems.On very few occasions has a tyre place I’ve visited been happy to repair a puncture - they almost always have insisted on replacement. Perhaps I have been unlucky with the types of punctures I’ve had.
If it’s a simple single point puncture with no other damage to the tyre then it might be a slow leak and you could pump the tyre up again enough to get you through without using the goop. If not, the tyre is going to be replaced anyway.
A certain well-known franchise tyre-repair chain offers a “Road Hazard Warranty” for I think $10 or $15 per tyre for the tyres they put on.Damage was AUD$1,281.00.
Can you believe it... we got our 5th puncture on the LEAF yesterday. This one they can repair. So another freebie.A certain well-known franchise tyre-repair chain offers a “Road Hazard Warranty” for I think $10 or $15 per tyre for the tyres they put on.
I have had 3 punctures in my MS in the 5 years I have owned the car and managed to fix all of them with an ARB plug repair kit. All were simple nails or similar in the main tread and so safe to fix. The plugs are really easy to use and a lot more convenient than calling a service vehicle. I also have the Tesla pump with goop but have been reluctant to use with the goop for fear of ruining the type.One of the tyres on my car has been repaired four times - no problems.
I bought one of these on the weekend, just in case. But the blurb on the back says they are not permanent repairs and (like the goop) should only be used to get you to the tyre repair place. Are some plug repair kits advised as “permanent”?I have had 3 punctures in my MS in the 5 years I have owned the car and managed to fix all of them with an ARB plug repair kit.
Don’t Tyre places that repair tyres do just that? Put in a plug with rubber cement? That is, the repairable type of nail penetration damage in the centre of the tread. It may be that they also put a patch on the inside. Have not had a Tyre fixed in a very long time so I am not sure. Also, they seldom allow you into the workshop....I bought one of these on the weekend, just in case.

That's what they do. Also needed is either the machine or the mussels to remove the tyre from the rim.Don’t Tyre places that repair tyres do just that? Put in a plug with rubber cement?

Have you used your Tesla pump without the goop? I have the same setup, repair plugs and Telsa pump. My current plan should I get a nail, is to plug it and pump it with Telsa pump.

No, but people on this forum are using the 18” Tsportline flow forged wheels that are designed exactly for this.Can the 18" rims be used with the larger brakes on the TM3P+?
