I had the misfortune of a flat but had the pleasure of getting the tire replaced by the same setup! Mobile tire van fixed it up in about 30 minutes.


phsgiants

Yup, the fix was just 20 min. Waiting for roadside assistance was 2.5 hrs 😭


devittron

I got my flat at midnight. Parked up at a gas station overnight. Came back first thing the next morning. Had to wait 2 hours but got my tire replaced for free! Car was less than 24 hours old with only 46 miles. 🫣


phsgiants

Wowza, at least it was free!


skobayas

Anyone know if they charge anything to patch? I had a flat, easily patchable but ended up going to American tire since they patched mine for free. I wasn’t sure if Tesla mobile cause I just didn’t know.


phsgiants

Yes, there's a charge.


bawss

How much?


phsgiants

$121+ tax 😭


letmeinthesnkergame

Oh boy!


Haunting_Job_5357

Better than $500 for a new tire I just paid


phsgiants

I also had to replace the right-front from a pothole a few months ago. It was painful.


TheLoneTomatoe

A few years ago that statement would've been blasphemy lol But they have become garbage for some reason. Even when I was In the mustang community, it used to be P-Zeros or bust, now it is avoid them.


phsgiants

Sure, I'd say for Mustangs, they may work well. Bbut EVs are a different dynamic, and I think Pirelli missed the mark here.


TheLoneTomatoe

No, they are trash now. That was the point. Quality has tanked.

Had to use Tesla road side mobile service a little while ago, super happy with the service.


phsgiants

How long was the wait?


Final_Battle_2916

If I remember correctly about 45 mins for them to get to my location. And then maybe 25 mins for them to replace the tire. Blew out a tire on a pot hole.


MartyGGMU

Is it fine to get AAA towing MY to the nearest tire shop if I have a flat?


phsgiants

In my experience, I'd be cautious with techs that aren't trained to handle Tesla vehicles.

Happy birthday


greppit

I had a Tesla Service tow and the driver knew nothing about towing Teslas! I had to drive up into the flatbed MYSELF with two flats because I didn't trust him after he told me the real deal


Trackar97

Absolutely fine, it’s just a car. Nothing different about towing a Tesla than a Toyota.


phsgiants

Doubt the average AAA tech would know to use pucks for the jack points.


lisasmom

I had good luck with AAA towing my Model Y outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico. Tesla wanted to send someone from Albuquerque taking hours plus $$$ and going the opposite direction I was traveling.

😨😨😨


TerrysClavicle

Awesome to know this is an option.


HarryEffingPlopper

Didn't you feel weird talking photo of this guy doing his job?


phsgiants

Nope, the guy was cool. He said everyone is always amazed that the repair is done on the spot, so I asked if I could take a photo. I was expecting him to give a spare so he could take the tire to the service center.


SeniorAd3846

Tesla patch tires? I hear they only replace them


phsgiants

Policy is 1 patch spot, according to the tech. Otherwise they replace.


WhereSoDreamsGo

Depends on the area of damage, and angle entry of object


phsgiants

I know sidewall is a no-go. But even then he said if it's center damage over multiple areas they won't repair it.


WhereSoDreamsGo

I’ll add, Steep or high angle of attack in tire entries that run down the length of the tread is also non repairable


phsgiants

Makes sense.

phsgiants

Quite possible, but I'm at 21k at just 1 year. So I'd probably not qualify.

What city/state is this?


phsgiants

Redondo Beach, CA


RogueQuasar

What wrap is that? Can you post more pics? Looks amazing
