Just an FYI on the tire inflator

[Jimyboy]

Yeah I found out the hard way their inflator sucks with the 19” and you’ll deflate your tires trying to screw it on then unscrew it. I got the Ryobi battery powered inflator, uses the same battery their other tools have and that’s a flip-lock which just fits on the valve stem through the aero cover.

I have also used the Ryobi cordless from Home Depot for years, and it is great and a must have for anyone with Ryobi tools. I notice a sealant canister can be incorporated to any compressor with a can of this https://www.amazon.com/AIRMAN-Repai...50-58a31a886f02&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m ..
I still purchased the emergency kit from the Lucid Store to keep in the car, because of the extended cord length on the Lucid Branded one and I dont want to damage the wheel with sealant that is not water soluble etc. So, I went with that one, I did not want to keep the Ryobi in my car all the time etc.

I am very surprised that this kit is not included with every Lucid car especially those that paid extra for 21 inch wheels, probably costs Lucid $50 for the kit, and I would rather have that than a Water bottle and duffel Bag on delivery. The one included with our Genesis GV60 is similar to the Slime/Repair kit on Amazon or Wallmart.com for $40, I would have bought that one for the Lucid but the cord is too short for the Lucid and I did not want to deal with extension cords. I love my Lucid, it is a great car, but this is something I do not feel I should have had to buy for a car in this price range.

In case anyone was interested, Tesla's version of the kit is back in stock (https://shop.tesla.com/product/tire...campaign=back_in_stock&utm_term=&utm_content=)

I'm pretty sure they're identical except for the logo on the outside, though the Tesla version is much cheaper.

Is the wire to the 12 V equally long? That was a concern with other inflators from Amazon. Since we only have one 12 V outlet in the trunk, we need a long wire to reach all the way to the driver’s side front wheel.

I know it's not very elegant, but is it ok to use Fix-a-Flat?

I would think it'll be OK as long as you don't use an ancient can of Fix-a-Flat made before TPMS became common. Older chemistry will damage TPMS.

I don't know about the length of the 12v cord, just that the device looks identical between the two. I'll let y'all know when mine comes in if there is a problem. I figure the worst case is folding down the rear seats to run the cord through the car.

I have the 19" wheels on my Touring and the Aero Range cover is pretty cool. Each wedge, when pulled from the top, pops out and is "hinged" by the lower end, providing near full access to the step for easier access. I was not aware of this feature until the first time I used the compressor and tried to pop the cover off and the wedge I was holding popped open. It took a couple of tries before I found the one with the stem behind it. My only complaint, is it seems very slow, which may be a result of it being a small compressor. To other posts, the power cable went to all four tires from the rear outlet.

Yeah, it’s not the fastest. But it works well.
