Not that you'd want to die on the roadside changing a tire anyway...

The sealer and inflator were an option in the US, if I remember. I think I remember checking those boxes way at the end of the form.
I didn’t purchase it. Figured a $13 can of “Fix-a-Flat” would do just fine until I can deal with it permanently.Nothing special. If you want to overpay, you can probably buy the porsche ones. It's a 12V pump and some goop.
There is no way I'm pumping a can of that stuff into my tire and ruining my TPMS valves, Tires, and potentially my Wheels...I didn’t purchase it. Figured a $13 can of “Fix-a-Flat” would do just fine until I can deal with it permanently.
I got the same advice years ago. If you use that stuff you will need to replace much more than the tire. Call for roadside assistance.There is no way I'm pumping a can of that stuff into my tire and ruining my TPMS valves, Tires, and potentially my Wheels...

Stuck with a flat right now. I really hate that the world has moved to this mentality that it is ok to wait for hours for a tow instead of including a spare in a car. I’m buying a spare and leaving it in the trunk. I’ll use another car when I need storage space. Any recommendations for a spare?Spare tire = call roadside assistance and have it flat bedded to dealer.
Not sure about other regions but in UK the Tyre Sealant and Electric Air Compressor are options...ones your "expert know it all salesperson" will no doubt have failed to point out. There's penny pinching and then there's penny pinching @ £42 it should be standard if only as a nod to safety.There's a tire sealant repair kit in the front trunk. From the Good to Know app.
in my basement ? too large to be in the car its taking all the space in the trunkWhere is the spare tire in the taycan? Is it a full size tire?
