From Bearded Tesla Guy.
Owning a Tesla Model Y, or a Tesla Model 3 is an enjoyable experience. Various reviews, including ones from myself will show you just how great EV ownership can be in a Tesla. While the Model Y and the Model 3 are so much alike, they are also similar in that they both have expensive tires.
We have all been there, a nail in the tire. Depending on your area, some places have all but stopped patching tires these days, and many other shops strongly suggest you replace, rather than patch, a tire. The tires on the Model Y and the Model 3 are very expensive. And because most Teslas come with an all wheel drive (AWD) system, if you replace 1 tire, you will need to replace the 2nd tire on that same axle. This doubles the cost, and for what can be fixed quite easily on your own.
Although I would also argue getting a new tire is always safer, if you want to use a patch for an emergency to get to the tire shop, I have found a reasonably inexpensive tire patch kit that has everything you need to do this easy repair on your own. The nice thing about this kit is its compact and can be taken with you everywhere without taking up much space. That way you always have it and since the Model Y and Model 3 do not come with a spare tire, this may be a good idea to bring along with you on road trips.
I ended up having a nail in the tire of our Tesla Model 3 right before a major road trip. I had already purchased this tire patch kit, so I was already prepared to get this fixed all on my own. It turned out that my Model Y also had a nail in one of its tires too. So because I have this little patch kit, I was able to get both tires patched in about 10 minutes total.
Patching a tire can be an easy thing to do and most people will be able to do it themselves. Like with all maintenance on a Tesla Model Y or Model 3, if you are not comfortable with this, you should probably seek a professional. Do know that most professionals will suggest you replace tires rather than patch though.
