How close are you to a Tesla Service center? I'm sure the price would be different if you lived far away from one. My closest is 2 a hour drive....I'm a little worried how much that would cost me for the patched tire.

cheapest/best route would be for Tesla to supply a spare tire with their vehicles like every other maker.

As a local to SF, good choice on OJs!

I had the same happen. The Tesla van actually contained all the tech needed to patch my tire that a bolt had punctured and I did not need to get a new tire! A$115 repair vs a new Tesla tire $495. It all got fixed in my own driveway!

Great video! I have had my model Y Tesla 2 years now and love it ! Agree with all you said about yours. I’ve never camped in it so I will definitely check out your videos. I have a detail person that comes to my house too but charges me $75 to clean my car. You have a good deal at $45! About charging, I have a charger in my garage. Instead of charging overnight before I get dressed I’ll go out in my night clothes and plug it in and by the time I’m ready it’s charged. It’s rarely run down too low. I am retired and 74 and go every where in it. ❤

a $29 mushroom plug kit on Amazon would take 15min to fix

Nice video, thank you for sharing it

Haha! I hit a pothole and got 2 flats. Tesla won’t help unless you have the same tires when you bought it. I had AAA tow me to a tire shop. Tesla said they can’t help

How much Tesla charge you to repair tire?

When you recognise you have a puncture, look for somewhere SAFE to park up away from the traffic - much cheaper to replace a tyre and even mag or rim than be killed by a passing vehicle.

How much did it cost?

thank you!!! this is great!

I’m assuming warranty doesn’t cover flat tire?

another great video! thank you for bringing us along. have you ever had to wait a long time for a super charger to be open up?

You registration fee is, at most, $175 additional for an EV. The bigger cost is the value of the vehicle when purchased. If you bought yours a year ago, the price was likely between $55,000 and $60,000. (Depending on options, etc.) Comparing that to a Civic which is about half the price, you will see the higher registration fees. They’re supposed to go down each year (value of the vehicle), but it is an insignificant amount in the scheme of things. Related to the $175 (max), I think it’s a typical bogus tax that the California legislature came up with by pulling things out of their behinds. The rationale is that EVs are not paying a gasoline tax and are therefore not contributing to road maintenance/repairs. Though there is validity in that, the “one fee fits all” is where the logic breaks down. In my case, I have just over 1,000 miles over the last year on my Y. So, very little wear and tear on the roads from me. Comparing that to your 13,000+ (I think that is what you said.), you’re actually ahead of the game assuming a 40 MPG car. Gas tax for that mileage would be ~$185 over the last year which puts you at a $10 savings from a gas tax perspective. In my case, I’ve lost ~$162 over the last year. This is, of course, assuming that 13,000 miles is solely in CA.

One thing she forgot to mention was that if they didn't get their loaner tire back within 5 days they will charge $1300 for it.

I would buy a spare tire and take it with me on long trips but most of the time I'd leave it in the garage.

Absolutely agree with your comments! My Model Y has done only 3000km and love absolutely every km! Love the channel and look forward for more to come! All the way from Sydney Australia.

Thank you for a fine summary!

Just go to Les Schwab, tire fixed for FREE!

Just subscribed! Love watching Tesla content even though i dont have one. :(. Lol. Hopefully in the next few months i’ll get my model Y!

Buy a portable air compressor and a plug kit! Two of the first accessories I purchased for my Tesla

Thank you, Taylor for your video. I'm convinced.

good good👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video after having my model 3 for a year... my wife got the model Y now and she loves it..

WTF shouldn't Tesla have included a spare Tyre even if it is one of the small low speed smaller size ones. I know they don't but would make sense rather than nothing.

I would recommend America Tire. Free fix if they can (if no side wall issues). New tires cost and installation are similar to what Costco charges. Had great service on multiple occasions.

I love you vid ❤❤

I love you vid ❤❤

Thanks for the vid! If it ever happens to us I will do the same!!

Great vid subscribed 👍

Another Great video. My model is almost a year old. thanks for the inspiration to go camping! We had fun in ours.

Drop the deets of your mobile car detailer or do a video of before and after

nice video Taylor ! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us

Who in your family did you convince to purchase a Tesla?

Prove it that the seats are easy to clean 🫣

The girlfriends Prius is an antique at this point lol

1000th subscriber!

How much was the bill????!

At 22psi I would of drove it to a local tire shop and save on the technician cost....

Hi, I often see Ryan Shaw recommending the Fanttik tire inflator in his videos, and I purchased one myself. It has saved me many times and is of great quality! You might want to give it a try.

Great informative video. Thanks for the great 411! May I suggest to eliminate background music during narration. Difficult to hear while using headphones.

Very helpful! Thank you!!

This is pretty cool for those people that are not self sufficient. I’m sure they will charge you way more than it’s worth but if it gets you up and running. 🫡 I just jack these cars up pull the wheel and drive it down to a tire shop and swap it out in my apartment parking lot.

Thank you❤❤
