Model X flat tire

[JKRowling]

I had a flat on my Model X last night. Found a screw in the tire, but luckily I was able to limp to a gas station and get it plugged.

Tesla was cool and offered to tow me, but I didn't need it.

Anyone else had a flat in their Model X? I'm definitely getting a plug kit for all my cars now. Lesson learned though!

A plug kit and a portable tire inflator are recommended especially if you're on long road trips. There are a lot of them on Amazon.

I once had a flat on my Model X, too, and found a nail stuck right in the tire! I felt like I was starring in my own version of a "Car Trouble" sitcom . Luckily, I made it to a gas station and got it plugged, now I keep a plug kit in my trunk because who needs a dramatic roadside rescue when you can DIY?

Glad you were able to get it plugged without needing a tow! A plug kit is definitely a smart move, better safe than sorry.

Yep, had a flat on my Model X a few months ago, luckily, the tire pressure monitoring system gave me a heads-up before it got too bad. A plug kit is a must-have for situations like this, but just remember that it’s a temporary fix. If the screw was close to the sidewall, it’s worth getting the tire inspected or replaced. Glad Tesla was ready to help, though.

Screws and nails are a real pain and I totally agree with them that this is a perfect reminder to keep a plug kit handy. Model X owners with those wide, low-profile tires do get flats. It's just part of driving with those types of tires.
