So I know that using slime stuff is bad idea due to the sensors in the wheel. Even the Fix-A-Flat sold by Tesla says that TPMS has to be replaced if used.
And I dont want to buy a spare to carry around. I think a small patch kit is a perfect balance, it may take a while to get it patched, but if I am in the middle of nowhere thats better than nothing.
My concerns are. How the heck am I lifting a 4000 pound car in the middle of nowhere to take the tire off? If I am lucky I can find some sort of curb to get it on, but thats unlikely in the middle of the desert. Can it be patched without taking the tire off?
Another concern is if I am spending the time to plug the tire, id like it to be permanent, as it would be from a tire repair shop. So I need a good kit. Any experience using patch kits on Tesla tires?
Or should I just scrap all that and hope Tesla service and/or a Tow truck can reach me? My concern with that is Tow truck damaging the car during towing (like improperly towing). I think Teslas have to be on a flat bed?
