I do agree. I bought Slime 70004 Power Spair 48 Piece Tire Repair Kit. My logic was, first try to put some air, if that fails use the plug kit, if that fails use Slime, if that fails call Tesla.Funny, I don't see the value in emergency kits (with foam/gel/slime) as they render the tire unrepairable afterwards. I prefer to repair it with a plug and continue to use the repaired tire indefinitely.
That looks cool. Still cheaper than buying a new tire, I may have to add it to my line of defenses.I have ordered a tire-repair (plug) kit and once I get it, I'll keep it with my Tesla Repair (foam) kit. I like to have options.
Please keep us posted..Noted in one of the reviews that the plugs package kit had no oil or lubricant. If there is no lubricant the plug gets stuck in the nose of the gun. Thanks for sharing, I will order once you endorse it.That's what I am hoping too. However, I haven't received it, so I'm not endorsing it just yet. Sometimes the simple tools work best. I'm hoping that this is a good product.
How do you know where to plug unless you actually see a screw or nail?I do agree. I bought Slime 70004 Power Spair 48 Piece Tire Repair Kit. My logic was, first try to put some air, if that fails use the plug kit, if that fails use Slime, if that fails call Tesla.
Mix up detergent and water to create a soapy liquid. Spay or use a soft-bristle brush to mop over the surface of the tire tread. The pressurized air within the tire should escape from the puncture. As it does, the air will create bubbles in the soapy liquid. Look for a blossom of bubbles on the tire surface to pinpoint your leak - The age old BUBBLE test!!How do you know where to plug unless you actually see a screw or nail?

I bet some saliva would be enough lubrication. No, I'm not endorsing licking your tire but a simple spit on the plug before putting it in the nose of the gun should suffice.Please keep us posted..Noted in one of the reviews that the plugs package kit had no oil or lubricant.

Excellent. Looking forward to the report.I should be receiving my Tire Plug kit today. Now I just need a tire to work on. If anyone in Southern Ontario gets a flat, feel free to drop by.
I don't have a portable jack just yet, I have one of those heavy duty hydraulic jacks.Excellent. Looking forward to the report.
Another question, what jack and tools did you get to remove the wheel in emergencies? I suppose a nice scissor jack would do the trick. Need a lug nut cover remover and then a socket too. Any idea what size the lug nuts are?
Thanks!
With regards to the lug nuts, they are compatible with Audi, so I have the following lug nut cover removal tool. Works great.
Postscript: We got the lug covers off but had some trouble getting them back on; they were loose and didn't snap into place. I called Roadside to ask what the secret was, and they said I should have had a tool in the case with all the charging gear. I had already looked there, but looked again. Not there, so they're sending me one along with some extra caps in case these fall off. So anyone who cares should see if they have the tool, and if not Tesla will give you one.
