Tire repair kit... included with new Teslas in CA or not?

[wattsup]

I recently took delivery of my new Model S.

At delivery, not finding one in the car, I asked about the tire repair kit. The DS seems pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be included, and that I could buy one, but he seemed not totally sure it should have been included.

I read somewhere that Tesla doesn't necessary include the kit in all locations where Teslas are sold, sometimes depending on local regulations.

Taking delivery in California, should I have received a tire repair kit with a new Model S, or not?

I didn't get one. Tesla roadside assistance promptly brought a spare wheel/tire when I got a flat, which is better than a temporary plug in my mind.

Never heard anyone claim saw, never saw anyone post so, didn't get one with my non-CA car.

The owner's manual for Model S says this:

Your Model S has no spare tire. Depending on the legislations that apply to the region in which you purchased Model S, a tire repair kit may or may not be included. If a tire repair kit was not provided in Model S upon delivery, you can purchase one from Tesla.

I knew I read it somewhere.

You need to buy the repair kit. It doesn't come with the car in CA.

What Patrick said. I also found out that many SC don't have many in stock, but that may have changed.
