Wheel lock key

[caytan]

Did you get the wheel locks key with your Taycan? I just found out I did not so I have to go to dealer to get the key to fix a leaking tire. Who sells the car without supplying a key!?

You sure it's not in your frunk with the tire inflation kit? There's a picture of what and where on the forum here somewhere.

Hmm - would have thought wheel locks would be an option not std. - yours came std?

Cool - Looked through the Std. equip and the pkgs. etc and no mention anywhere of wheel locks - bonus

This shows you where the inflator is, and the socket for the wheel lock is the silver circular piece in next to the inflator.

Yeah, I know those two pockets on the sides of the frunk pull out... Empty.

Dealer "borrowed" them for another car? Factory forgot to supply?..obviously time to contact the dealer!

Just to clear up any confusion (not saying you guys are confused ), strictly speaking they aren't "locks" in the sense that there is a tumbler and a key. A wheel bolt on each wheel has a specially shaped head that can't be removed with a standard socket. Instead there is a special socket in the frunk kit which matches the "lock" bolt.

Yep understood - very like the special 'key/tool' I have on my BMW R1200GS motorbike's oil cap which stops anybody mucking with it.

Then IMO you need to pursue it as their failure to deliver the product for which you paid.
