So it appears that Tesla’s do not come with any mobility kit for punctures. Anyone recommend suitable kit?

That’s what I thought but they expect you to pay for the kit. Have seen a few starting to charge for this. Pretty poor IMO

That is taking the piss. First they take our spare tyres and now they're taking away our cans of gloop!

I've always used the Holts gloop, I have the Bigger can in all my cars. I have used one as well, and they work, unless you have a massive hole or split then you are fucked!

I would rather use this all day long than change a drivers side tyre on the motorway!

Can the tyre be repaired once you have used that?

Its not supposed to be used again as the gloop goes all hard inside, Oooerrr!

It can be cleaned up and puncture repaired but very very few places will do it !

Have you bought the Tesla then?

Not yet although on order, but looking at items that may be needed.

I never thought I’d say this, but very nice.
It has looks that only a mother could love. In all seriousness, it’s not that bad but thought I would give it a go as it has the best charger network at the moment. Will be interesting to see how I get on with my EV journey as a daily. Then to search for something suitable for the weekends.

Well due to nickel prices surging, Tesla have increased prices on the Model 3 by another £2k for long range and performance. Mainly due to Ukraine crisis.

Did they revise their price after you ordering? Or are you locked in on the old price.
