How to Fix a Tesla Tire

[@sa.t.2507]

Hey dude! Thanks for the video, I just got my 20” Tesla tire plugged, but they said nothing regarding the foam and that it must be cut out. Do you have any issues with imbalance after the repair?

[@whetst0ne]

Keep up the good work, man! Don't have a Tesla (yet!), but I love your videos and how straight to the point they are, as opposed to the multitude of clickbait Tesla videos out there.

I appreciate that

Why would you put oil on a surface you are going to glue? Feels a bit wrong to me.

Hey Brother. This is a great video. Since your tires are over 20k miles, you probably need 4 new tires very soon though. Btw Tesla switch from Michelin to Hankook ION EVO to lower road noise and increase range on their new model 3. Can you make a video to test those new hankook ION EVO tires on your Model Y as well?

hello, these wheels have sponge on the inner surface! Is the repair you made strong enough due to the sponge on the inside?

[@oggyoggy1299]

Yes

When you pulled the tool out of the tire, how did the plug not come out, since it was looped through the hole in the tool?

[@thomasrichardson8327]

Put your index finger and thumb tips together. This is what the end of the tool looks like

[@joelkeane8740]

The tool has a small slit in the end that allows the plug to come out.

Will the oil mess up the sensor on the inside the tire ?

[@TeslaoftheDay]

Nothing has come up since.

Car 1900mi on it and just realized I have a nail; will try to repair it since it looks easy, there is no way Im buying a tire with the car being less than 2000miles 😢

[@algersonvincent]

I have a nail...tried plugging for 2hrs but every time I pull the tool out the plug still comes out 😭😢...what am I doing wrong

[@algersonvincent]

Also the tool end up breaking/bending 😭😢

[@dttub]

Let the air out complete before plug in

[@oggyoggy1299]

Twist the tool 1/2 a turn or so then pull it out.
