Tesla Talk 2

The point I'm trying to make is there are people that just don't care. So what? I don't care. I just like the car. More and more every day. You struggle to comprehend that there are people outside.of this toxic, hateful and devisiive bubble that you all live in that simply do not care. So what? You want to come onto a Tesla enthusiast forum and confront Tesla owners. So come on, tell me, so what?

Stop telling me what i can and cannot do and can and cannot say. What did I say about "gay flags" that make me a bad actors? I said goto China if you don't not.like free speech and democracy and while you're there, fly a gay.pride flag and see whst happens. Are you so ignorant that you don't understand my point?

You're the bad actor. Coming into a Tesla enthusiast forum looking to pick a.fight. telling people whst they.can and cannot.do or say. Virtue signalling with your condescending attitude that anyone who does.not share the same opinion as you is a bad person or far right. All the while, condoning and relishing in the destruction of innocent peoples personal property.

It's aggressive and decisive political rhetoric that has no place in a Tesla enthusiast forum.

You don't get to make the rules. You don't get to tell people what to do or more importantly what they cannot do and cannot say. That, comrade, is communism.

On a day when Russia has bombed Ukranian government buildings, you have the balls to try and deny there is war against communism and it.left wing ideology.

It all adds up to a disgraceful, shameful and disgusting attitude.

At no point have I denied Musk is hurting the brand. The opposite in fact. I jav been very, very clear in what I am saying. I do not care. I am absolutely sick to death of listening to the poisonous rhetoric you and others are spouting.

Likewise comrade. I'm glad we found agreement in the end.

My recent slow puncture has me worrying about what happens when I get a flat. This is my first car without a spare wheel.

Is the repair kit worth getting?

I think this is supposed to allow you to get to a tyre garage. But nobody had my tyre in stock (MY Juniper continental), so now I'm thinking of getting a spare tyre as a backup.

So it would be tyre sealant to get me home, grab tyre, get to tyre garage. Assuming it happens locally.

I've also read that road side assistance will give you a temporary wheel while you get your new tyre sorted. Is this true? This would give me time to order one instead of keeping a spare in storage.

How is roadside assistance for punctures? I've also read they just tow you to a garage, so same as using insurance roadside assist.

Luckily in the end it was repairable, but it just has me wondering what if.

I've read that Tesla Roadside assistance will send someone out with a spare wheel and swap it for you. Letting you get sorted and give the spare wheel back when you're done.

Sounds good, but also sounds like bollox.

I've also read there is no "Tesla" roadside assistance. They just use the same tow companies as all the other roadside assist.

That spare tyre is tempting.

Edit: I just found the t&c's. They'll send someone out to plug the puncture (not give you a spare wheel) if you are within 80km of a service centre. Otherwise they can help you get a tow at your own cost.

So basically, no help outside of 80km. Otherwise arranging a tow via your insurance company is best.

Jesus. That space saver wheel is very tempting, especially as it costs the same as keeping a spare tyre in storage.
