No air compressor but has sealant?

[SteveBruin]

I just purchased a CPO Taycan, there no tire compressor but it has a bottle of sealant. The dealership is telling me that the car isn't equipped with the compressor. Could they have made mistake? Why would I have a bottle of sealant without the air compressor?

Thanks!

This car was purchased in Arizona.

I found the air compressor come with the car is low quality and very cheap. I bought a good one from Halford.

My (2021) came with a compressor. If you check your manual it ought to say there is one and how to use it. I think the dealer owes you a compressor!

In Ireland, my MY21 Taycan didn't come with a compressor but my MY23 one did. Well it was a free option by then.

The compressor should be there, but I agree with RBGTaycan that it's crappy. Gets the job done, but doesn't have a digital display, doesn't stop when it reaches a given pressure. If you don't want to press the dealer to provide one, just get one on Amazon. IMO.

The car comes with the compressor in the US.

What I am not happy about is the sealant bottle since you have to manually pump the sealant into the tire. The sealant bottle that came with our Cayenne looks the same but has a yellow valve that you plug into the compressor to pump the sealant into the tire. I had to use it when we got a nail in the Cayenne tire 100 miles away from home and it was a life saver, as it was quick and efficient. Therefore, I recommend spending the money on the proper sealant bottle.

The yellow valve is shown here. I bought one for each car and would not drive without one and a compressor, that works just fine, as I can attest to that using it in the emergency.

Thank you for the info!

On my 2020 4 S the compressor was a $70 option. It is rubbish. The option list should show if it was ordered.

I just looked at my Monroney label (option list and price attached to the car's window). For my 2021 base model there is NO info re: tire foam or compressor (because they were standard equipment).
