Tesla tire inflator fail

[Pianewman]

Heads-up. I tried to use the Tesla branded tire inflator, and it wouldn't run...kept stopping, unless I held the on/off switch down. Defective switch.

I notified the Tesla Store, they're sending me a new one.

If you own the Tesla pump, I'd recommend trying it out to make sure they didn't get a batch of bad pumps from their supplier.

It has a nice form factor and baggie for road trips but at home I use the Milwaukee M12 which is cordlesss. Good idea to test the Tesla one at least once, I did so some years ago so I’ve got peace of mind (I guess )

Is it possible to plug into wall socket for the m12?

With some DIY elbow grease, yes. I made such a contraption for my m18 batteries which was mostly an acdemic excercise as I never used more than once in years For an inflator I find it not necessary at all. Small inflators will have trouble getting 4 wheels from nothing to full mostly due to overheat, not battery. If you are topping off or reinflating one, a 6ah batt is more than enough (and can be charged from usb, albeit slowly as these power tools are yet to catch up to usb c PD). YMMV, caveat emptor, yadda yadda.

My Tesla Ranger had the M12 and used it to inflate my tires.

Tesla pump replaced by Tesla, new one works just fine. Hope I never have to use it!!
