I stuck mine on the left side of the rear view mirror so not sticking in my eye when driving and it works perfectly there.RFID Transponders, eg tollroad etag
Is there any nice discrete place it can be put and still work?
I figure the manual is wrong cause it states to place it on the "right side of the rear view mirror as shown". I'm guessing for Australia it's the left.
Hmmm... I’ve heard different, that the goop in the Tesla kit is “TPMS” friendly and can be cleaned out afterwards to repair the tyre, while normal goop will get you going again but the inside of the tyre is ruined and yes has to be replaced. Mind you, I reckon in most cases if you need that stuff then the tyre will be beyond repair regardless, so it doesn’t matter. Whenever I’ve taken a tyre in to be fixed the only times it’s been repaired is when there are slow leaks. In all other cases, even in what seem to be fairly simple single point puncture incidents, they say “new tyre”.
I have not used the Tesla specific kit. a few years ago I used one of those foam cans from petrol station, but sure enough it does ruin the tyre. though it allows you to drive back home the tyre places will not fix the tire properly after that.
Since then I have purchased the puncture plug kit for motorcycle and used it on my motorcycle a couple of times when have had punctures and those appear to hold well enough that you can use the tyre until it gets to wear line after repairing it on the road without requiring any extra tyre specialists. So I bought one of those kits for my Tesla also and a pack of CO2 capsules. This should get me back out of tricky spot if I get a puncture.
