Last flat I had, there was a giant Allen wrench stuck in the tire and it was rapidly leaking.

Filled it back up as much as I could with the included inflator kit, took it a big box store, they patched it up and was on my way.

Took maybe an hour total out of my day? No $ cost to me (under tire warranty)

Teslas don't come with an inflator. sigh.

(and if you get one + slime stuff, you will kill the TPMS and have to buy a new one)

Weird, I have TPMS and it still works fine. I don’t have a Tesla though. Didn’t use slime though.
