Funny story - I am 62yrs old and have always put a lot of miles on my cars & trucks - never ever had a flat tire in my life (probably because I am a tool nut and always am prepared) - in ‘23 I buy a Model Y (love this friggin car) - first car in my life with no spare - of course, merging onto a highway I run over something and the car starts putting up warnings about low tire pressure (impressive actually) - sure enough I have my first ever flat - I live in the Wash DC area, so plenty of Tesla service available & they come get me & my car and $400 later I am back in the road - SO, the question is; can I go another 62 years without a flat tire? but just because of my “always prepared” obsession I think I will get the Tesla repair kit & never think about it again….
I carry a Slime brand compact air compressor in my Tesla Model Y and also in my motorcycle saddlebag.
I also carry the Stop and Go brand tire plug kit with mushroom style rubber plugs in both vehicles.
My patched motorcycle tires have lasted 2 years til the tire wore out.
I carry a spare now as well when I drive out of the city every 2-3 weeks. Learnt my lesson by getting a flat tyre in a remote part of NZ. Had to wait almost 4hrs for a tow truck, plus none of the towns had the standard 19inch model 3 tyre so 3hr tow back to Auckland on a Friday night. I bought a second set of wheels the following week just to get 1 spare. 3 are for sale now. $900 tow truck under insurance, thankfully. The same tow truck driver said he had a new Range Rover and a new Jaguar SUV that day and none of us had spare tyres.
Amazing what life throws at you from time-to-time.
I've had about ten flats over the years so wouldn't consider a car without one, guessing a jack and wheel brace is extra also 😂
About half the flat tyres I had in the last ten years required the replacement of the tyres - gashes in the sidewalls, catastrophic threadband damage and so on. Even a spacesaver set is still better than relying on just any quick repair kit. Automakers should note this and make sure that the either the frunk or the underboot space can take a spare.
I carry a spare as drive all over NSW. It's a shame the sub-boot (trunk) area isn't big enough for one. The repair kits are very limited..
These type of kits have come as factory equipment since 2009 in a few select vehicles.
Most tire manufacturers state the tire will need replacement after use of such products. The sealants usually melt the rubber and bond with it, making it unsuitable for a proper cleaning to bond a permanent patch from the inside.
The sealants also clog the TPMS (tire pressure monitor sensor) ...so, you should expect to be paying to replace that too.
Wow, that's a hell of a deal. $125 for the kit, and $300 for a new tire and TPMS...
My only maintenance in MYLR 2 years +, is $400 US bare cost for 1 tire - cigarette-box-size steel plate slashed it - Tesla covered everything else: install, balancing, 2 tows, and 3 house calls, including this one and 2 other unrelated ones.
Milwaukee's M18 compressor is really nice for about the same money. I will have this long after my Tesla.
Regarding those sealants, they're only meant to work on the treaded area. Any sidewall split is a problem. Cue me and my 2 day old ID3 in my works car aprk where I was maneuvering out of a tight space to go home, and I caught the edge of our corner kerbs. They weren't proper corner kerbs, but straights machine cut at 45 degrees, so were actually sharp to a tyre sidewall. I got an almighty split in the tyre after just glancing the kerb corner. In desperation I used the VW provided sealant. And the bloody stuff worked. Of course I had to replace the tyre the next day. That wasn't easy as there were only a few ID3s in the country and the tyre was a new Goodyear OEM product. At least it gathered a crowd at the tyre service centre. Mine was their first BEV. I always carry the sealant.
Ouch. 😮. Hope you have a quick recovery. Thanks for another informative video.
I got my tire repair kit at Walmart for under $10. Works well.
Does your 10 repair kit inflate the tire?
@@BlackandWhitecustoms no, I have a $10 pump for that.
@@realestatenow does your 10 dollar pump have a digital readout or built in safety features?
@@BlackandWhitecustoms no digital readout. I am the safety feature - I turn it off when the tire is inflated sufficiently. If it overinflates I let some air out.
@@realestatenow so let me get this correct, you are bragging about buying two inferior products because you saved money. Tgats like me saying I dont need a lambo God gave me legs for free. 😅 Better products usally cost more just in case you dont understand how supply and demand works
Brings back a memory from about half a century ago. I was on my way home from a camping trip and I was trying to get home in time to attend a wedding. I had a flat tire and couldn't get the lug nuts off. I drove on the shoulder to a service station. Their compressor could break one lug nut at a time, it was a two stage compressor, 175 psi, we then had to bleed off enough pressure to restart the compressor and wait until it stopped. Rinse and repeat.
Will the liquid tire repair kit good for cold weather?
I prefer a spare tyre but then I'm an old fogey.
Ouch looks like you're healing but still ouch.
Last summer I tried biking with our newest dog and all went well even got down to the splash pad area and our dog Olive wasn't interested in the water at all she was good to go. The younger boy playing with his family was happy to share with her and I all was going great till I went to leave and because of my own stupidity I went over the handle bars and told the family I was ok as I thought I was till I fully got up and went to leave, turns out I broke a rib or two made my summer slow and painful
Can anyone check if the Model Y berlin has hw4 now... They're showing it on their website in eu
These kind of side revenues may go a long way but I do wish MY had a spare tire
I would always have tires full of plugs from hurricane debris. Catching roofing nails and sheet metal screws could be anything from a seasonal occurence to weekly depending on how recent the last hurricane blew through.
What about the “ sound denting” foam inside of ev tires ??
Foam tires are not a specific EV thing. Any car can have them, or not. My EV never had them.
@@incognitotorpedo42 my tires that came on my Tesla’s had the foam insert
That’s a valid question, will this repair work on tires that have the sound deadening foam in them?
@@incognitotorpedo42 you missed the question entirely.
I didn’t ask if all ev tires has sound denting foam inside them.
I ASKED “what about the sound denting foam inside of ev tires”
Fix or temp fix so you can let it get fixed elsewhere instead of calling road assistance?
Nice job on that bike stack😳
My TIRE replacement is INCLUDED in my Monthly LEASE COST Of my HYUNDIA KONA 64 KW EV in the UK
Well, I've just received delivery of my Tesla repair kit (old one)and charger.. but still waiting for my M3.. ordered on 8th Nov.. any day now! 🤔
Moving to Melbourne on 15th March.. it better arrive before then.😢
When is the rust repair kit coming out?
Good news on the mend 👍
Since Telsa tires have foam on the inside I don't know how this would work . A regular plug kit is way less an I would think that would
work better because of the noise Foam on the inside of the tire. . Anybody know how there liquid works? I have driven on plugs
for thousands of miles but it's rare to get a flat these days.
I have a 2017 Model S, and have never had foam. From what I've heard, the foam tires don't really do much for NVH. I would expect the foam to be incompatible with tire sealants, but I don't have any data on that.
A propper spare wheel is the best answer.
Afternoon mate
Does seem a bit pricy. I carry a tyre plug kit, as well as tyre gunk and a small battery compressor, which all cost about US$60. The problem with any of these options is that if you get tyre wall damage then any patch is probably not safe and in fact here in NZ its illegal I believe. There is no substitute for a spare but I'm just keeping my fingers crossed as a spare will take up a lot of room in the boot!
Not enough info to judge.
Isn't it true that you shouldn't go above 60-80kmh on an emergency sealed tyre?
Tire protection plan Only available in California.
A sub-10$ spray foam should do the job and perhaps a 50$ battery-powered compressor to top it off
just use a tyre sealant it seals hols as they happen Almost instantly
You cannot use these kind of sealant repair approaches on any tire that contains noise suppression foam
Most Tesla models come with this kind of tires from the factory, at least in Europe.
Or…….invent a spare wheel, maybe make it a bit thinner so it saves space and weight. Just a thought !
Still waiting for indestructible airless tires
I just wish it was wireless.
Unless it's a spare wheel it isn't an improvement.
Might be an improvement over spending the night sleeping in your car in the middle of nowhere.
“For yearhhs” 😆
Insane over torquing tire shops is why I bring my own torque wrench when I go to a shop or rotate myself.
Me too!
Is this like a tyre repair kit?
Wish they would just throw in a spare wheel like the good old days.
Plugs are different than goo.
Different and better. They don't ruin your tire and your TPMS.
?? When we bought our 1 mos old 2018 model 3 long range/dual motor in the end of 2018, the previous owner had bought a kit just like this from Tesla and left this in the vehicle. It is the same kind of thing as this with a compressor and slime injector cartridge and feature as part of the unit. So this is nothing new. Not sure how this is any different but just a revision. Tesla has had this for years. Ours looks like one of the pictures, but the others are a little different looking. Our unit sits vertically with the gauge and switch/control on the top.
“Tesla have been working on it for a few years” I hope that means they may also finalise their solar roof tiles and release them in Australia. They’ve had more than a few years to get their act together on those!
Haven’t these been around for quite sometime! Isn’t this just Tesla slapping their logo on an existing technology and charging 3x price?
This is the 21st century. Bring on airless tires already 🙄
Other manufacturers have had these for YEARS. Why is this news?
Tesla reveal new Skin Repair Kit, Electric Viking is hoping it will be a big improvement. I don't know what you did but stop doing it whatever it is.
A new repair kit! Well thats such good news. 😅😅😅😅😅
Why do people say Tezla when it is TESSla, there is no "Z"
None of these kits from any manufacturer actually work
inflated claims and price NO!
Americans don't need you to tell us that 6mm is less than a centimeter. Well, most Americans don't need that advice .
Eh? Teslas don't have spare tyres?
First of all any car without a spare is a NO for me. Second $125 USD for a portable compressor n a can of goo is a rip off. Had to fix a flat 2 weeks ago, bought a repair kit (it had enough to fix 6 flats) and a cheap compressor for $50 AU.
Yeah I agree. Kits are about $40 here in the states. Those do look higher quality but not 3x the price quality. As far as no spare, this is becoming standard unfortunately. None of my trucks for my business come with spares anymore and these are for job sites where flat tires are far more common(nails, screws). In fact I don't think any vehicle I've purchased in the last 5 years has come with a spare, even though these trucks have plenty of room under the vehicle.
I'm 57, I have used a spare tyre once.
@@bikepacker9850bingo. These idiots demand something they’ll almost never use. I’d bet this genius that made this post doesn’t even know how to change a tire.
Most cars don’t have spares
@@bikepacker9850 I'm guessing you don't drive much, or maybe started driving when you were 50? I've been driving for 50 years. I've used a spare probably 20 times or so. More often in the past than today, but I don't drive as much today.
Good luck using it with CyberTruck (no 12v power)
You can buy a 110 V to 12 V adapter for $10
Hope you repair yourself quickly.
My Holden Captiva ca.e with a free tyre repair kit that would fix any size hole & no speed or distance restrictions - a spare wheel under the boot floor.
Well this will not work for 90% of teal flat tire issues. Since most flat tire issues with Tesla are from small potholes that destroy the tire and rim, because of the low profile tires.
Just put self
sealing tire
I’ve driven about a million miles and never needed one.
@@phillipbanes5484 I guess I’d have to put on the spare.
I've driven maybe a half million miles and have needed a spare many times.
Tesla is doing cuting-corner business all the time, so don't expect that too much.
I know this channel earns you a living Sam, but 3 minutes 59 seconds on a Tyre Repair Kit? 😂
IMO.. What they should really work on is a portable charger .
Sam, how does your channel attract so many haters of yourself and Elon? I don’t get it. People must have nothing better to do than to hate you and Elon on a daily basis. Hang in there bro.
MarkCain268: If you think you live in a different world than Sam, and think he is totally biased toward Tesla, then why do you bother watching and commenting? There must be a better use of your time. Seems very odd FYI, I believe Sam also has shares in BYD.
@@tomdrewenskus8167Haters gonna hate? Me, I'm totally Tesla and look forward to Sam's review of solar, battery and EV news. Yep, Tesla is brought up frequent, but it is the leading EV company. An EV company with 17 years experience which is driving EV technology forward. Other companies with 100 years experience of making cars seems incapable of doing the same. Sam frequently covers Rivian and Chinese companies. There just isn't anything to say about EVs from most other companies. If there was, the haters would be telling us what we're missing out on.
I'm not a hater (may he heal up fast) but it is obvious Sam is biased. I dare say some of his views, such as those towards Toyota, will date poorly. On occasion Sam serves up some interesting content but other times I'm fighting the urge to join the pile-on or unsubscribe (I suspect I'll do the latter soon).
@@99FriedEggs Would you say that Toyota is making a positive contribution towards electrification? Are they advancing technology? Admittedly they are holding on to hydrogen, but I think this is a dead project. I cannot remember if it was the Chairman or CEO, but he actually said he was proud of spreading FUD. I find it hard to see a positive in someone saying that. If someone says they do not believe that EVs will be good for some reason that's fine. We all have differing opinions. But we also know about internet trolls and the negativity they bring. From what you say it would appear that you see positives in Toyota and there are probably sites that see Toyota in a similar light. I would be similarly against trolls on such sites.
People who don’t like Tesla for whatever reason call out anyone who speaks positively on Tesla as fanboys. I don’t think it is fanboyism on the part of Sandy Munro when he tears down many EVs and reports that Tesla is not just one year, but FIVE years ahead of anyone else in manufacturing and quality. Tesla did turn the industry upside down and continues to innovate on an unparalleled scale compared to any legacy automaker excluding the Chinese. There are facts and then there is blind emotion. To deny the facts or not marvel at awesome achievements of great companies is putting one’s head in the sand. I prefer to keep my head on a swivel in these wicked exciting times and yes, invest in the winners. Tesla is a winner and so is BYD. Thanks Sam for bringing it.
Sounds like a complete rip off to me, $125 for a temporary repair? heres a idea supply your cars with a spare wheel 🙄
Tesla drivers would never be able to change a tire.
Minor scratches for goodness sake.
Getting Elon off of Twitter and off of drugs would be a BIG improvement. This is a tire pump.
@@phillipbanes5484 I have a problem with Elon taking BILLIONS in share holder equity when he can't even make an effort to put together a decent earnings conference call because he's too distracted by the nonsense in his life.
@@phillipbanes5484 I have a problem with fascist assholes.
What? An $8,000 tire repair kit?
What a bargain….!
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... stock,silver and gold)
Investing in cryptocurrencies now should be on every smart person’s list. In a few months, you will be thrilled with the decision you made today.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend New investors to seek Wayne Gorman's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams...
Same here, I have heard alot about Wayne Gorman, is he really that good?
Bot...
Fucking scam bots. Get outta here!
😂😂😂😂
I really used to like your content bro. But had to unsubscribe for now. Maybe later, I’ll come back. God bless!
Tesla glowing globally
Only goons will buy EVs.
TESLA IS DONE
This is nothing new and tesla has had it for over 4 years. Read my other comment.
"Tire"?
'Tyre' and 'tire' - same word for different regions of the world. It was British English that changed to 'tyre' from 'tire'.
@@99FriedEggs Really. LOL… We would never have known… ;) The point was that the presenter is an Australian, but finds it necessary to bastardise his English to pander to Americans. By the way, the original spelling of the word for the rubber covering of a wheel was "tyre," dating back to the late 15th century. It was likely derived from "attire," as it dressed the wheel. The spelling "tire" already existed at that time, meaning "dress or covering." To avoid confusion, "tyre" was chosen. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the spelling switched worldwide to "tire" for wheel rims. However, in the 1800s, Britain reverted to using "tyre," while America continued with "tire." Currently, in the USA and Canada, "tire" is predominantly used, while in the UK and Australia, "tyre" is more common
@@1218omarooOh... my bad! :) You've provided a very eloquent explanation of the word's etymology!
And after re-pairing it, it will be re-tire 🤣
