The $40,000+ Car With One Baffling Thing Missing

Most Teslas don’t come with a spare tire and thousands of owners may not realize it until that little yellow tire warning appears.

Running into tire trouble with no spare can turn a bad day into an expensive one.

Tesla will warn you when you’re drifting out of your lane.

It can show you exactly how much pressure is in each tire.

Some models can practically drive themselves.

But get a low tire 40 miles from home and you may discover something rather astonishing:

There’s probably no spare tire in the car.

No donut tucked beneath the trunk. No simple swap-and-go solution.

And that little yellow tire-pressure warning?

It can tell you you’re losing air. It can’t put the air back in.

So What Happens When That Yellow Light Comes On?

Not every low-pressure warning means you’ve destroyed a tire.

Sometimes it’s a slow leak.

Sometimes temperatures changed.

Sometimes the tire simply needs air.

But without a way to add air yourself, a small problem can suddenly become a much bigger headache.

Without Your Own Air, Your Options Get Annoying Fast

Find a gas station.

Hope its air compressor actually works.

Call roadside assistance.

Potentially wait for a tow.

Or… carry your own air.

That’s the ridiculously simple idea behind RideHero.

Important to Know

RideHero is designed for low tire-pressure situations. It is not a replacement for a spare tire or professional roadside service. If a tire is severely damaged, has suffered a blowout, or will not safely hold air, stop driving and contact roadside assistance or a qualified tire professional.

Hopefully, You’ll Forget It’s Even There.

Leave RideHero in your car and go about your life.

But the next time that little yellow tire-pressure light appears—on the way to work, halfway through a road trip, or miles from the nearest gas station—you’ll have a way to add air right there.

It’s one of those things you hope you rarely need. Until the day you’re really glad you have it.
