Hi all

Just been rooting through my Taycan and the one thing I can’t find is any way to re-inflate a flat tyre. Can’t see any compressor or sealant and I’m wondering what you’re supposed to do if you get a flat!

Has anyone seen anything in their car for this?

Unless you ordered the tyre compressor and sealant option then it's call the breakdown service. Nothing comes as standard as far as I can tell.

Isn't it in the frunk (one of the side compartments)?

IMHO: Anyone who puts that sealant crap in their tires needs to consider the damage it will do...

Unless I'm in a REAL emergency (like in California with a fire at my back), there is no way I'm ruining a tire, a TPMS sensor, and potentially a wheel with that junk...

Thanks all for your responses. I’ve just found it in the configurator as a £42 extra - not an option I spotted when I configured the car but oh well!
There’s a nice space for it to live in the frunk if you spec it :)
And Ed, I’m aware of the damage sealant can do. But the cost for me to sit waiting for recovery is much greater than the cost of using sealant.
I had a puncture in the first 100 miles of driving my Taycan, but luckily it didn’t deflate.

Just call up Porsche breakdown. No way I’d fill a tyre with that stuff.
